Crofton was the son of Sir Edward Crofton, 3rd Baronet and Mary Nixon. He represented Roscommon County in the Irish House of Commons between 1735 and his death in 1745.[1] He succeeded to his father's baronetcy on 11 November 1739. He married Martha Damer, daughter of Joseph Damer and Mary Churchill, on 17 June 1741.

He served in the British Army and was killed near Tournai during the War of the Austrian Succession. He died without children and was succeeded by his relation, Oliver.
