Misc. Notes
Origins in Williamstown in Ancestry under Mark Crofoot
Joseph Crofoot Mentioned in Williamstown history along with Mark Crofoot, payroll for muster roll dated 6 Dec 1777 image 136653 This Joseph could also be the brother of Mark
Image 548653 of Origins in Williamstown cite John Crofoot eldest son of Joseph reared here a family of 10 all born between Feb 1776 and April 1793. One of them named Joseph and a twin brother with Benjamin, and all these moved as a family to Auburn, NY after the death of the father.
Joseph’s second son was mark Crofoot, who was in the battle of Bennington as one of a fun company of 65 men from South Williamstown, and who seems to have been the wit of the family.
His brother next younger, Joseph Crofoot Jr. had a son named Joseph and there were one or two more of the same name in the large circle before the patriarch died in 1813; and Mark used jocularly to designate the five Josephs as Old Joe, Young Joe, Young Joe’s Joe, Cross-eyed Joe, and To-in Joe. Mark evidently thought that there was scarcely room on the Hopper road for so many Crofoots for he moved from here with several other families about the same time to Granville, NY where he died in 1818
