Descendants of Robert and William Cruikshank/Cruickshank/Crookshank Families

Hi Roger

Yes, Carol is my sister. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Don, I know this is an old post but I'm currently researching my family tree and found David Cruikshank married to Mary Stephenson (1776) to (1858). I know that they came to New York and are burried in Deerfield Cemetary. names of their children are Margaret, Samuel, Eliza, Thomas, Mary, William, David A, and Robert M.  My grandfather is Charles Henry Cruikshank. I would love to hear from you with any information you may have.

Hello Jamie,

Nice to hear from you.  I haven't found that David and descendants were/are related to my family.  I do have his tree built out though just in case I manage to find a relationship along the way.

Do you know how your Charles Henry is related to David?

I will send you some information that I have found on a Charles H. Cruikshank.  Not sure if this is your grandfather.

That is about all I can do for now.  You may already have much of this information.  Let me know if I can help or if you have any info that might tie your family to mine.

Thanks,

Don

Don, switch Harry and Eugen's order, I wrote it down wrong lol

Thanks Jamie.

And Carmel, that would be fantastic if you can find a headstone for Robert Cruikshank.  Thanks much.

Posting Robert M Cruikshank and David Cruikshank his father, we have been trying to get information on David but hit a dead end, we think he may have come over from Scotland. We do have his wife Mary Stephenson (1776) -(1855) who we think is from Ireland and they may have had a couple of children that died in ireland before they came over to New York.

Thanks again to Jamie and Carmel for this information.

Hi Carmel,

I hope that you are well.  In reference to your post above on Robert and Eliza, they would be my 2nd great grandfather and grandmother.  Alexander was a brother to my great grandfather William Thomas Cruikshank.  Martha and Mary Ann are sisters to William and both died in 1884 of diptheria.

I believe Stafford Cruikshank was a brother to Robert, my 2nd great grandfather.  He was married to Anne Stanage, as you referenced.

Any other information that you can provide would be great.

Regards,

Don Cruikshank

Thanks very much Carmel,

I checked through these documents and was unable to find any the fit my family records except for the 1901 census for which I had the census document for that.

Really appreciate you getting back to me.

Don

Hi Carmel,

Happy holidays to you.

Thanks for this post.  I created a PDF of it and posted it to my tree.
