The family's ancestor Torbjörn Eriksson lived during the late 17th century in Landskrona, Skåne, where he was a shopkeeper,[1][2] and where his son Severin was born in 1700 and died in 1766. Anrep states that father and son called themselves Cronsjoe. Severin Torbjörnsson had a son, Ludvig Cronsjoe (1726-97), who received the title of assessor. The latter had with his second wife, Ulrika Bush, a niece of Lars Gathenhielm, a son named Cornelius Alexander Cronsjoe (1767-1824) who became lantråd and who in 1819 was knighted[3] according to § 37 of the Constitution 1809, whereby the nobility only went to the head of the family.[4][1] The following year, the family was introduced to the House of Nobility with number 2273. At the nobility, the noble family took the name Sjöcrona.[1]
