Comments In the 1660 Hearth & Poll Tax Rolls for Co. Antrim there are five Crooks
families listed, it is thought that Ahoghill, Glagorm Estate was their
place of residence and that maybe James Crooks was John's father. They
were Presbyterian Convenantors in Scotland, Ireland and finally in
America.
