Biography
"Jacob Crone of the third generation was born about 1756 or 1757. He served in the Sixth Pennsylvania regiment from 1777 to 1781. He was evidently a man of some independence of character for he declined to receive his pay in the depre- ciated currency offered him. After his father's death he must have suffered some financial reverse which compelled him to dispose of the double share in his father's estate to which he was entitled by reason of being the eldest son. Later he sold his personal property and went to Hagerstown, Maryland. In the meantime he had married Margaret Dritt, daughter of Peter Dritt (Tritt) and a sister of Jacob Dritt, a captain in the Revolution and later brigadier-general of State militia, and of Peter Dritt, also a Revolutionary soldier. They were married January 3, 1786 and had two sons, Jacob and John, When these two sons were very young the family removed to Hagerstown and later returned to York county. None of the sons of Jacob Crone or Krone left any issue, but his daughter's descendants live in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Jacob Crone was a soldier of the War of 1812."
