Within the past two years, I have uncovered information from The Schwenkfelder Genealogy that chronicals an Anna Kraus, widow of Melchior Kraus, and her two sons, Balthasar and Melchior, and daughters Anna, Maria, and Susanna. The records indicate that Melchior Kraus, husband of Anna, was born about 1671 in Silesia, Germany, and died 28 May 1733, in Haarlem, Holland. He was buried on 2 June 1733. Anna Heidgrig and Melchior Kraus were married 18 Nov 1704 in L. Harpersdorf, Silesia, Germany.

The Schwenkfelder Genealogy states that Anna's son, Melchior, was of unsound mind and died 16 Sep 1779. After reading this statement, I believed that this could not be our Melchior. After discussions with other genealogists and theologians, I learned that individuals who "strayed from the fold," were most often referred to as "of unsound mind," because they no longer believed as they did. As to the 1779 year of death, I think that a 4 (49) was misinterpreted as a 7 (79). I am much more inclined to recognize this Melchior Kraus as our ancestor than the Malchi Grous who arrived 3 Sep 1739, on the Friendship.

Would like to hear from others regarding this issue.

My grandmother was a Kroeze and going back in time the name became Kroese, Croese, Crouse. These families lived in the Netherlands, but came from Germany, a place called Neuenkirchen. Joest Crouse was born in 1605, he had 3 sons, Joest 1635,Cornelis 1638 and Mees Joesten 1640. This is how far I was able to get back and ofcourse I have names after that.
Geert Crouse who was born in Neuenkirchen married in the Netherlands ith Aaltje Jans. They had a son called Geert Geerts Kruise!! (Note the name change)
They had 2 daughters called !!! Anngjen Geerts and Hindrikje Geerts.I don't know why they dropped the Crouse surname.
I don't know if this is of interest to you, but it may give you a new lead.

Any links to Nicholas (1739), William, Samuel (1798-1885) would be interesting.

I'm starting to piece together the CROUSE family from my lineage. The site has just got started, orignally intended was intended as a place to promote a CROUSE FAMILY REUNION the weekend of July 28-30, 2006 in Ellensburg, WA. My best efforts from what I have found show my roots as:

Jack Dean Crouse - 1951 Fairfield, CA...Me
Jack Dempsey Crouse - 1921...My Father
Harve Crouse - 1885...My Granddad
Calvin Crouse - 1830 - North Carolina...GGranddad

According to my recollection from stories from my late mother-in-law) is that 2 Crouse brothers emigrated from Germany to South Africa. The eldest never got married, but the youngest married a South African girl. They were my Father-in-Law's grandparents. Hope anybody can help with a bit of information.

My father was R.E. Crouse, Sr.; Grandfather, James Mathias Crouse; GGrandfather was Henry A. Crouse. These are buried in Good Hope Cem., near Dyer, TN. Recently, an old family Bible has fallen into my hands. Interestingly, for much of the family history, the surname spelling was "Crous" (no "e"). Then at a time period, the spelling included the last letter. The most exciting find is the original marriage certificate of Henry A. and Isabelle McCullough Crouse. It is very old and quite fragile. Anyway, I hope this helps dispel some of what could be mixed up ancestry I have seen on the net.
