Note

All information on this person comes from another researcher, I have no documentation.
Family tradition states that the St. Croix line originally lived in France as French Hugenots (Protestants) in the early 1600s. Probably as a result of religious prosecution, they left France and reportedly first went to the Jersey Islands and then to Newfoundland.²

Court Case

1819

St. Mary's, Newfoundland, Canada; There is a Ben St Croix & Ann St Croix who show up in court in St Mary's in 1819. According to Court Records, this Ben was age 77 & his wife, Ann, was age 33 and they had seven children. Ann filed for separation for abuse and support for the children and she was given the house and 6 Pounds at the the end of the fishing season plus 5 pounds per year for the children. Two years later, Ann was back in court for child support from Edward Power for the birth of their child but he had taken off for Ireland. Some names who are showing up for that time period are John, Patrick, William, Edward, Joe, Catherine, and Elizabeth St. Croix. I am unable to prove they are the Children without birth records.; Principal=Ann (?)³
