Joseph Croshaw (1610-1667) was the son of Capt. Raleigh Crowshaw, Ancient Planter. He was born in Bruton Parish, Virginia, [SIC - needs proof] in the area that is now Williamsburg. He married five times and had six children.
(Ben M. Angel notes: Bruton Parish and Williamsburg were not settled until the 1630s. He may have been born in Virginia, as Jamestown had been a functional - albeit poorly functional - settlement since April 1607. But he wasn't born in Bruton Parish or Williamsburg in 1610.)
Croshaw was a substantial planter living near Williamsburg. On December 10, 1651, he patented land which became the plantation known as Poplar Neck. Maj. Joseph Croshaw was an attorney. He was Burgess 1677, Justice 1659, Sheriff 1656 and a member of the Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg.
Croshaw died by April 10, 1677, when his will was recorded in York County, Virginia. The inventory of his estate included two pewter candlesticks, forty-two pewter dishes, four porringers, thirty-six spoons, one bedpan, and one still. It also listed a silver sack-cup; twenty-four silver spoons; and a silver tankard of the largest size, valued at four pounds sterling. The inventory also listed the Croshaw estate as having 1000 bricks manufactured either by their own servants or by transient laborers.

There is no proof that Elizabeth Yeardley, daughter of Governor Sir George Yeardley & Temperance West, Lady Yeardley, married Maj. Joseph Croshaw. None of the scholarly books on either the Yeardley or the Croshaw families make this claim. It used to be claimed in the Wikipedia article on Joseph Croshaw but, when the claim was shown to be unproven, the Wiki article was edited, showing an unnamed first wife.
page 271 of William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Volume 2
Capt. Richard Croshaw was brother of Major Joseph Croshaw and was b. in 1621 and d. in April, 1669; m. Elizabeth , and left Benjamin d. s. p. [as Benjamin was a. name given to a son by each brother it was probably the name of their father], Rachel who m. John Walker, of St. Stevens Parish in King and Queen County, Margaret d. s. p., and Elizabeth who m. Rie Jones of York County. [The latter˜s will was proved May 24, 1697; he had 7 Morris Jones, Rebecca, and other children. In 1724, Elizabeth, admr. of Richard Croshaw Walker, was wife to Christopher Beverley. Croshaw is sometimes written Crosher in the records]

- Mary Croshaw m. ______ White (daughter Mary),

Harris, w. by n. upon the land of Samuel Snead, n. w. by w. upon a line of marked trees leading along to St. Andrew's Creek.[1]
