All the Croggons originally came from Cornwall, the first recorded (we think) in about 1427 at Veryan then later at Tregony, Grampound and Creed.  From memory, the link is John Croggon born in Grampound in 1780. who died as a shipwright in Portsmouth in 1860. All the Croggons in London descend from him, but the Croggons from Croggon & Co who were in the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Croggons who took over Coade stone after the Coades died and was their relative, are another branch of the family, but they ALL came originally from Cornwall. In the mid 1970's I collaborated with John Croggon of the Tannery at Grampound regarding the family tree. He and others had produce a tree up to then for the Cornish branch and I (starting from scratch) complied one for the rest. The John Croggon referred to above was the missing link. It is of course now much easier for anyone to have a go for themselves and find out a lot. My tree is hand written on eight sheets of foolscap. I do not remember the Samuel and Jane you mention but I am sure they will be in the tree.
