Early Descendants of Loyalists Philip and Sarah Crouse

Information on these Family Group Sheets are the result of the latest in-depth research of the Descendants of Loyalists Philip and Sarah (Burt) Crouse by respected Family Historian, Roguer Crouse.

Research is reprinted, with permission, from the book Crouse Family History, 2nd Edition, copyright (c) 1995-2000. This popular book is entertaining as well as informative, and includes a full index. In addition to the basic birth / marriage / death / cemetery information, the book also contains dozens of biographical sketches and anecdotes of individuals born before 1900, helping the reader “flesh out” the interesting lives of these early pioneers.

Family Group Sheets on these pages, as well as all information on pages of this site, are believed to be accurate, but are not guaranteed.

Acknowledgements and Sources

All items on the Family Group Sheets have documented sources. Many people have contributed to the development of the Crouse family tree and we want to acknowledge their contribution. It is not feasible to list the dozens and dozens of contributors and sources here, but they are acknowledged in the book Crouse Family History, 2nd Edition .

Extensive research has been conducted at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, by several dedicated and skilled Family Historians. Along with the many hours spent in archives and libraries, much effort was dedicated to documenting personal interviews, copying family records, etc., so that a family portrait of these pioneers, in a time long ago, can be made available for others to enjoy.

Thanks to Family Historians, who go beyond being just genealogists who collect names, births and deaths, the book Crouse Family History, 2nd Edition attempts to bring alive a glimpse of our past.


If you use information on these Family Group Sheets please honor the many contributors by acknowledging the source as Crouse Family History, 2nd Edition Thank you.


The birth, marriage and death places are listed as they were known at the time the particular event occurred.

For example:

Charles “Charley” Fitz Abner4 CROUSE was born 9 May 1868 in East Washburn (Crouseville), Aroostook Co., Maine.

At the time Charley was born, Crouseville was known as East Washburn. The current name is in parentheses. This convention is used throughout the Family Group Sheets.

Counties and parishes are also listed according to what they were called at the time the birth, marriage, or death occurred. A typical example of how parish names evolved can be seen with the location of Philip Crouse’s New Brunswick British Crown Land Grant. Philip obtained his 400 acre land grant in the Parish of Queensbury. In 1824 the Parish of Douglas was carved out of the Parish of Queensbury. The same area is now the Parish of Bright, which was carved out of the Parish of Douglas in 1869.
