DESCENDANTS OF JOHN CROSBY .................................................................................................... 17

CROSBY 

The earliest Crosby record I have is of John Crosby, born about 1440 in Yorkshire, 

England (Styllyngfleyte). The majority of my early Crosby information comes from 

internet sources and the Latter Day Saints ancestral files. My ancestry follows from John 

to Miles, Thomas, Anthony, and then to the first Crosby to settle in Massachusetts, my 

12th great-grandfather, Thomas. Thomas Crosby was born about 1575 in Holme-on- 

Spalding-Moor, County York, England. Thomas married Jane Sothern in 1600 - they 

were the parents of my 11th great-grandfather, Simon Crosby. 

Simon Crosby is a common grandfather of Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby and myself - 

a relationship that makes us 8th cousin's (4 times removed). Simon's oldest son, the 

Reverend Thomas Crosby (1634 - 1661), is the line that follows down to "Bing" through 

son, Simon, and five generations of Nathaniel's. Reverend Thomas Crosby is reported to 

be the last Crosby of our ancestry to be born in England. The second son of Simon was 

Simon Crosby, Jr., my 10th great-grandfather. 

Simon Crosby, Jr. was born in Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Cambridge) on 6 

August 1637. If birth locations are accurate then this would make the Crosby immigration 

to the United States approximately 1635. My Crosby line remained in Massachusetts for 

nearly 100 years, from Simon Jr. through Joseph, Robert, and Jonah Crosby. The first 

record of my Crosbys' outside Massachusetts is evidenced in their presence in 1800 

Kennebec County, ME and the reported birth of Ezra Crosby (6th great-grandfather) in 

Winslow, Maine. 

Ezra Crosby married Teresa Sherwin of Dunstable County, Maine and were the 

parents of Cummings Crosby, my fifth great-grandfather. In 1814, Ezra Crosby died and I 

found Cummings Crosby and family in 1820 Somerset County, Maine, and again in 

1830/1850 Penobscot County, living near his cousin, Manson. 

According to the 1850 census, Teresa Sherwin Crosby apparently remarried to a 

gentleman named Whitman. I believe Cummings wife, Dorcas, died some time before 

1874 because I found a record of a Cummings Crosby marriage to Julia A. Hillman on 28 

Dec 1874 in Penobscot Co, ME (Civil) - there has never been any record of another 

Cummings Crosby. After 1870, I could not find Cummings Crosby - until his 1889 

death in Ottawa County, Kansas. I do not know what route, or with who, Cummings 

traveled to end up in Kansas. His son, Ezra, moved away from Maine prior to 1850 - I 

located him in Pike County, Ohio. 

The first child of Glockus and Mary Thompson Crosby, Iona (born Aug 1868), was 

my great-great-grandmother. In 1873, the Crosby family moved on to Kansas. A 

biography of Ezra Crosby, extracted from a history accounting of Ottawa County, KS 

from a book titled, "History of Kansas", provides more information. 

Ezra Crosby married Elizabeth Mallichs, of Scotish parents, in 1842 Pike County. 

Their oldest son and my third great-grandfather, Glockus Parker Crosby, was born in 

1843 Pike County, Ohio. The next location I have on the Ezra Crosby family was in West 

Union TWP, Fayette County, Iowa. 

In August 1866, Glockus married Mary Ann Thompson, daughter of William and 

Mary Learns Thompson, in Fayette County, IA. Looking through the 1860 and 1870

census reports for Thompson families, I recorded many that could possibly be related - 

including a probable Learns uncle. 

I was able to verify much of the Crosby data I have from the Ottawa County death 

records of Glockus and Mary Thompson Crosby, and the marriage records of Loren E. 

Crosby and the children of Glockus and Mary. 

Glockus and Mary Crosby remained in Ottawa County until their deaths. The 1924 

death notice on Glockus contained interesting information on his Iowa background and 

his exploits during the Civil War. Mary Thompson Crosby died the following year. 

In 1886 Ottawa County, KS, Iona Crosby married Joseph Edmund Davis. Joseph was 

the son of John and Elizabeth Stewart Davis. Joseph and Iona remained in Ottawa County 

until their deaths and are buried at Highland Cemetery, in Minneapolis. Iona remarried to 

Andrew Staley a few years after Joseph's death. Joseph and Iona Crosby Davis were the 

parents of my great-grandfather, Elzy Ray Davis.

Biographies 

DR. EZRA CROSBY, physician and surgeon, and dealer in drugs, medicines, and 

druggists' sundries, began trade in Ottawa County, Kan., in the summer of 1873, since 

which time he has practiced his profession and followed the drug trade in Milo, Lincoln 

County, three years. He first began in the dry-goods trade, and finally took up the drug 

trade, and now carries a stock of $3,000. He was born in Plymouth, Penobscot Co., Me., 

Nov. 7 1820, living in his native place until 1841, when he went to New Orleans, La., 

where for a short time he was engaged on public works thence; to Waverly, Pike Co., 

Ohio, where he was married to Miss Elizabeth Madox, of Highland County the same 

State. He lived in Ohio until 1954, and is a home-read physician. In 1862 he enlisted in 

Company A, Thirty-eighth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, participating in all the battles of his 

command, and promoted to First Lieutenant; mustered out in 1865. They have two sons - 

Glocus P., in company with his father, and Lorin E., engaged in the drug trade at Milo, 

Lincoln County. The Doctor is a member of the Masonic order. 

GLOCUS P. CROSBY. There are few men better known in Ottawa County than 

Glocus P. Crosby, who has been an active and useful resident of Minneapolis for fortyfive 

years, is county surveyor and is a veteran of the Civil war. He has seen this section of 

Kansas develop and has done his full part both in personal effort and in professional 

activities. Mr. Crosby was born October 7, 1843, at Piketon in Pike County, Ohio, and is 

the elder of two sons born to his parents, Ezra and Elizabeth (Maddox) Crosby. 

The early Crosbys were New England people, and Cummins Crosby, the grandfather 

of Glocus P. Crosby, was born in Maine in 1799. He was a lumberman and in early 

manhood took part in the strife that often broke out on the boundary line between Maine 

and New Brunswick, which was mainly confined to the logging camps. He came to 

Kansas later in life, retiring from all activity in 1892, although still a man of remarkable 

vigor. He died in 1897 at the home of his son in Minneapolis, being then aged ninetyeight 

years. 

Ezra Crosby, father of Glocus P. Crosby, was born near the Penobscot River in 

Maine in 1820, and was reared to manhood there. He then went to Pike County, Ohio, 

and engaged in work at his trade at Piketon, having learned the manufacture of brick. In 

1853 he moved to Fayette County, Iowa, and there was engaged in brickmaking until 

1872, in which year he came to Minneapolis, Kansas. Here he established a general store 

and later a drug store, being a man of great enterprise, and continued in merchandising 

during the rest of his active life, his death occurring at Minneapolis in 1903, his years not 

reaching those of his father, but being indicative of a robust New England heritage to 

longevity not altogether unusual. In the meanwhile, in 1862, Ezra Crosby proved his 

loyalty and patriotism by enlisting for service in the Civil war, entering the Thirty-eighth 

Iowa Volunteer Infantry. He saw hard service, participating in the siege of Vicksburg, in 

the dangerous guerilla warfare along the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River, and 

was in the conflict at Island No. 10, but survived all the hazards of war and returned 

safely to his home and quietly resumed peaceful pursuits. In West Union, Iowa, he was 

married to Elizabeth Maddox, who was born in 1821, on the Atlantic Ocean while her 

parents were crossing from Scotland to the United States. They settled near Columbus, 

Ohio, and Mrs. Crosby grew up there. She died at Minneapolis, Kansas, in 1888, the 

mother of two sons: Glocus P. and Loren E., the latter of whom died at Fort Collins, 

Colorado, at the age of fifty-five years. 

Glocus P. Crosby attended the country schools in Fayette County, Iowa, but made 

his best educational record in mathematics and when only twelve years old began to be 

interested in the principles of surveying. In fact he displayed a natural talent in that

direction, and all through the years that followed before he found the opportunity to 

perfect his knowledge in this art, both eye and hand were in training. Many a weary hour 

of marching during his service as a soldier in the Civil war was lightened by his 

knowledge of contour, form, area and distance, a surveyor's conception that his ordinary 

comrade neither took interest in or understood. 

In 1862 he enlisted in the same regiment as did his patriotic father, and he took part 

in the same battles. He was appointed an orderly to General Steele and carried the 

dispatch that gave the orders to the different commanders to advance and fight in what 

proved to be the closing battle of the war, that of Fort Blakely, Alabama, April 9, 1865. 

Notwithstanding his hazardous office, Mr. Crosby escaped all serious injuries and 

returned to his home practically uninjured. He has always taken a deep interest in the 

Grand Army of the Republic and is a valued member of Minneapolis Post No. 47. 

After his military duties had been bravely discharged Mr. Crosby returned to Iowa 

and followed surveying there until he came to Minneapolis, Kansas, in 1872. In 1878 he 

was elected county surveyor of Ottawa County and served two terms and then, after an 

intermission, was appointed county surveyor by Governor Glick. In 1900 he was again 

elected to this office, to which he has been continuously reelected ever since, this 

evidence of public approval being not only a testimonial to his skill and professional 

accuracy, but to his personal character as well. In Mr. Crosby Ottawa County has an 

efficient and honest official. 

In 1866, at West Union, Fayette County, Iowa, Mr. Crosby was married to Miss 

Mary A. Thompson, who came to Iowa from Cincinnati, Ohio, and they have four 

children, namely: Iona, the wife of J. E. Davis, who is employed at Minneapolis, Kansas; 

N. G., who is a resident of Denver, Colorado; Almeda, who is the wife of S. E. Jackson, 

and they reside at Santa Anna, California; and Elizabeth H., who is the wife of Pearl 

Davis, and they reside at Medford, Oregon. 

Mr. Crosby has always been identified with the republican party and is old enough to 

remember its birth. Its principles have always appealed to his sense of right and he has 

given it his hearty support. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church at Minneapolis 

and to this and other religious organizations he has been as generous as his circumstances 

would permit. In 1905 Mr. Crosby erected his comfortable modern residence on Ross 

Avenue in this city. 10

Obituaries 

Death of Cummings Crosby 

Last Saturday morning Cummings Crosby, father of Dr. E. Crosby, died. He had 

been sick for some time, but the principal cause was old age. If he had lived until the 19th 

of February he would have been 93 years old. He was born in Maine, Feb. 19th 1796. 

The old gentleman was nearly up to his last days, very bright, and a pleasant 

conversationalist, and could relate very exciting scenes from the past years. He has been 

living with his son, Dr. Crosby, who is his third child, for a number of years. 

The burial services were conducted at the residence last Sunday by C.P. Leonard, 

and the remains were interred in Highland Cemetery. 

The doctor and his family have the sympathy of many friends in his loss.

Saturday morning. his health had been poor for a number of years and for the past months 

he has been almost if not totally blind. A few years ago he moved with his wife to 

Barnard, where he lived until lately, when he came to this city to be nearer to medical 

assistance and lived with his wife's daughter, Mrs. George Markley, where he died last 

Saturday morning. 

Dr. Ezra Crosby was born in Plymouth, Penobscot County, Maine, Nov. 7th 1820. 

When about eighteen years of age he went to New Orleans and was for a time employed 

as a mason on the government works near that city. He later moved to Waverly, Ohio, 

and it was at this place that he married in 1842 to Miss Elizabeth A. Madden (error - 

marriage record shows "Mallichs"). Shortly after his marriage he moved to Piketon, Ohio 

where he lived until 1853, when he moved to West Union, Iowa where he resided until 

1872, when with his wife and family of two boys he moved to this state and located in 

Lindsey. He afterwards moved to this city, where for several years he was the proprietor 

of one of the largest drug stores in the Solomon valley. 

Dr. Crosby enlisted in the Army in company A, of the 58th regiment of Ohio (error - 

it was "Iowa") Infantry, in August 1863, and served through the entire war. He was with 

Sherman in in that memorable march to the seas and in some of the most hotly contested 

battles of the war. His son Parker Crosby of this city was a member of the same company 

and regiment. That Dr. Crosby was a good soldier is evidenced by the fact that he entered 

the service a private and for bravery and gallant service was promoted to orderly sergeant 

and was mustered out as a lieutenant. 

The deceased joined the Presbyterian church at Waverly Ohio and was a consistent 

and active member of the Presbyterian church at Waverly until 1853, when he moved to 

Iowa. His wife died in Minneapolis August 27th 1888, and he was afterwards married to 

Mrs. Jennie Fowler, who with his two sons by his first wife, survive him. 

His funeral service took place from the Methodist church in this city last Sunday 

afternoon. Rev. D.R. Laport, pastor of the Methodist church of Barnard, preached the 

funeral sermon and his remains were followed to Highland cemetery by a large concourse 

of friends and old neighbors.

1843 and died at his home in Minneapolis, on Monday, February 11, 1924, aged 80 years.

Mr. Crosby came to Kansas in 1872 and since that time has been a resident of this 

city. He served as county surveyor for a number of years. For several years Mr. Crosby 

had been in failing health, and the end was not unexpected. Since the children were 

grown and established with families of their own, he and Mrs. Crosby had lived together 

very quietly. He found much pleasure in raising small fruits and had some nice chickens, 

pheasants, and an heron, which afforded him all the employment needed for his declining 

years. 

Mr. Crosby enlisted in the Iowa regiment and served three years during the Civil 

war. 

Some years ago he united with the Presbyterian church and remained a member until 

his death. 

The funeral was held at the Smith funeral home in this city Monday and was 

conducted by Rev. H.M. Templin. The members of the G.A. R. were present to pay their 

last respects to one who met with them for many years. Minneapolis Messenger
