Original settler of OH HUSTON Susannah (1768-< 1814) 11 children: John, Elizabeth, Jacob, Alexander, Samuel, Joseph, David, James, Matthew, Benjamin and Sarah Note of CROY Jacob More research needed.the determination that this is the likely father of Jacob, husband of Mary Huston, a confirmed descendant, is based on tax records for Cumberland, later Londonderry, Township in Bedford County, PA and the dates that the individual Croy boys appear on those records. Jacob and Richard are the first to appear. I hypothesize that Jacob was the father of the boys who then moved on when he died in about 1790 leaving his land to the oldest son Michael who first appears in the area on the 1790 census, before that likely living in All dates of births etc. are surmised based on tax, military, and other records. They would indicate that Jacob arrived during the Palatinate diaspora from the borders of the Netherlands in what is now Belgium. One record could give some credence to the possibility that the Croy's descended from a Peter Croy of 1670 Massachusetts but, because Peter is not a name passed through the generations, I have my doubts. 1

Proof of continuing to live in Wills Creek area from this date to death based on land warrant dated 1784 indicating homesteading from March 1, 1763. Death based on last date that both Andrews were listed in tax records since evidence is clear that Alexander's son Andrew continued to live on the land that had belonged to Alexander. 2
