Text: Many Craycroft's have made their homes in the State of Missouri. The first was Benjamin Craycroft (Senior). He and family lived in Cape Guardeau (sp) from 1837 to 1849.

Reference: 824

Note: Benjamin left home at the age of 16 and followed his brother Edward to Rockville.

When his father died in 1817, Benjamin was left out of the will, receiving only $5, but later the three other brothers gave him $500 and the Family record.

The 1850 Census of Macon County, Illinois, lists a Benjamin Craycroft, age 35, farmer, born in Maryland. Despite the age discrepancy all other details listed (wife and children) match perfectly. (Robert Lynn Craycroft)
