Note from Patsy: There are proven dates in my Crox Family History in the Eldridge Family chapter. Benjamin is the son of Simeon Eldridge and John is the son of Benjamin. The younger Simeon was never married, but James was. Susan married John Jones and they moved to Texas as did the Nichols family. This is the connection to the family of Sam Rayburn, former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Editor's Note: We found the *Seneff surname on the Philadelphia, PA genealogy web site, <http://www.pa-roots.com/~philadelphia/> so since Henry A. Crox was born there this must be the correct name of the relatives listed here with variant spellings of Senif, Senniff, etc.
