I am a decendant of Thomas Crafts of Portsmouth Va. He died in 1794. We do not know if this line of Crafts went by Croft/Crofts or not, prior to that. His daughter Elizabeth married my Casey ancestor Dempsey Casey in Norfolk Va. in 1789. Their son Dempsey migrated into McMinn Co. TN in 1830-1849 then went on to Indiana and settled in Raglesville Daviess Co. IN. Noticed there was a Thomas Crafts in the Vanderburg Co IN. census for the years 1850 & 1860. I am wondering if Elizabeth Crafts Casey's younger brother Thomas's family might have travelled with the Caseys into IN. Since you are from the Evansville area, wondered if the Crofts were the Crafts in the above census readings.
