EXPLANATION.

Two Indexes have been prepared for descendants of each of the
four progenitors. One giving the Christian names of Cranes, the other,
names of persons who have intermarried with them ; alphabetically
arranged.

Also an index of Christian names of Cranes found in the Addenda.
In looking for a certain name, unless you know to which line the
person belongs it will be necessary to examine each of the Ave indexes.

The number after the name is the consecutive number. Turn to this
number in the body of the book and you will find the person's family
record. If the person had no family the number will refer to the birth
under the parent's name. If the Index does not give the name sought,
And n;ime of the parent, and look through the list of the children.
Some names came too late for numbering. Where there are several
names alike, the year of birth placed before the name may help to
indicate the one sought.

The bracketed [ — ] number after the name of a parent refers to the
number where the person appears as a child. After the name of a

parent the pedigree is indicated in parentheses ( ) with small figures

above, showing to what generation the name helongs, and giving the
names back as far as the progenitor of the line.

The following abbreviations have been used: b. for born, m. for
married, unm. for unmarried, (s. settled), d. for died.

PREFACE

VOLUME I. of the Crane Family Genealogy, published in 1895,
contains an article on Origin of the name Crane; copies of
five different armorials belonging to the family ; a sketch of the
Crane family in England, with pedigrees covering thirteen genera-
tions, and a brief reference to the first of the name who came to
New England, together with Henry Crane of Wethersfield and
Guilford. Conn., and his descendants of nine generations; a list
of Cranes who served in Connecticut as lawmakers and public
officials ; also a list of members of the family who served in the
French and Indian, as well as the Revolutionary war, from
that State. There has been considerable delay in issuing the
second volume, and no doubt some interested persons have
become impatient to see the work in print. But the task
of tracing the lines from live different progenitors has been
no easy one. Special care has been exercised in keeping each
line of descendants independent of the other, although they
have in some instances intermarried, and in many cases resided
for years in close proximity to each other. Volume II. has
exceeded in size our most sanguine expectations, for the
reason that the descendants of Jasper and Stephen Crane of
New Jersey have so willingly assisted in supplying records
from private sources that could in no other way be furnished.
The early public records of New Jersey, so far as the writer's
experience extends, furnish a very unsatisfactory field for the
genealogist. During the early settlements there seems to have
been no fixed system for recording births, marriages and deaths
for preservation. Probate Records have supplied the greater
portion of the early records for the descendants of Jasper and
Stephen Crane. Some of the early church records, from which
much was expected, were found to have been destroyed by fire.
The lack of dates has caused a vast amount of trouble in estab-
lishing the identity of certain members of the family. "Where

there seemed any doubt of the identification it has been ex-
pressed in the context or by a foot-note.

Although the writer has given a vast amount of time, and a
considerable sum from his means in prosecuting this work, still
he is fully aware how difficult is the task of collecting material
and compiling a work of this nature, and presenting it free from
inaccuracies. Every effort has been made to avoid errors, and
wherever different dates or conflicting statements have been
received regarding the same event, which has frequently been
the case, careful investigation has followed in order to determine
if possible the correct statement to be used in the book. To
the many friends who have in any way contributed to the
encouragement of this work the writer would here express his
profound gratitude. Among the names of those who have
given special aid in its prosecution may be mentioned : Rev.
Elias Nettleton Crane. Rev. Oliver Crane and James Eells
Crane, all deceased; the latter died Nov. 19, 1893, in Phila-
delphia, Pa. ; William M. Crane, Greenville, Mich. ; Stephen S.
Crane, Maple Hill Farm, High Ridge, Conn. ; Harrison Horton
Crane, Middletown. N. Y. ; Augustus S. Crane, Elizabeth, N. J. ;
Miss A. J. Reed, Carmel, N. Y. ; Dorothy N. Law, Dixon, 111. ;
Anna Russell Vance, Milwaukee, Wis. ; Henry Harmon Noble,
Albany, N. Y. ; Horatio Grain, Key West, Fla. : and J. M.
Crane, Kingwood, West Va.

Records of several families needing further proof to define
their position in the body of the book have been placed in the
Addenda with the hope that some of the descendants may be
able to find the connecting link. In some instances the peculiar
spelling of names has been retained, believing members of the
families would prefer to have them presented in that way.

BENJAMIN CRANE.

Windsor was probably the first town settled in Connecticut by
the English, and Wethersfield next. The former made its
beginuing in the year 1633 and the latter in 1634. The people
who planted these towns were almost without exception from
Massachusetts. In the year 1621 and for many years thereafter
practically all settlers bound for New England lauded in the
colony of New Plymouth or Massachusetts, and emigrated from
there to the various settlements of their choice. For several
years Windsor, Wethersfield and Hartford proved the chief
attractions for settlers locating west of the Connecticut River,
although a few planted themselves at Saybrook. Many of those
who early settled at Wethersfield came from Watertown, Mass.,
while the towns of Cambridge and Dorchester furnished a con-
siderable number of the families for Windsor, and Newtown
furnished some for Hartford. The emigrants from Dorchester,
Mass., named their town Dorchester, now Windsor. Wethersfield
was called Watertown, and Hartford was called Newtown. But
at the meeting of the General Court of the Connecticut colony
in 1637 the present name was decided upon and adopted. This,
however, was not the first session of the General Court of
this colony Their first session was held April 26, 1636.

Rev. Henry Smith was the first settled minister in Wethersfield ;
came there about the year 1636, but was not installed until the
year 1640 or 1644. and died 1648.

The early records of Wethersfield are exceedingly interesting
and voluminous, yet lack system and completeness. The records
of births, with some deaths, are furnished from 1635 to about
1666 ; and after an interval of some years the record of deaths
is again taken up with the year 1670, and the births and mar-
riages about the year 1692. Subsequent to the year 1700 there
seems to have been a more complete system of entries through-
out all the departments. On the whole, however, the records at
WTethersfield are perhaps in as good condition in all respects and

10 CRANE GENEALOGY.

are as well preserved as the average of the early New England
towns. The entries of dates of births of children of Benjamin
Crane senior were apparently made eight years subsequent to the
last birth, and records of lands assigned to or owned by Benja-
min Crane, senior, in one or two instances, were also apparently
entered some years after possession had been given ; a fact
which, to say the least, shows a slack method of making import-
ant records during the early life of the town. But the des-
cendants of this progenitor may congratulate themselves that so
much has been recorded and preserved to be used by them in
rearing their genealogical tree.

FIRST GENERATION.

1. Benjamin Crane, was in Wethersfleld, Conn., as early as
1655, and may have been there a few years earlier. According
to the Records of the Particular Court, held at Hartford, March,
1655, he is defendant in a civil suit with John Sadler, pltf. ; also
in June, 1656, he is defendant in another suit with Richard
Montague. He was born about 1630; was made freeman May
12, 1658, at Wethersfleld. It is not positively known from
whence he came to Wethersfleld, 'but Hinman in his " History of
Connecticut Settlers " seems to think that he came from Massachu-
setts, which statement all investigations thus far seem to warrant.
February 24, 1656, the town gave him a home lot of 21- acres,
more or less, bounded by the Common N. W., a brook and the
home lot of John Graves N. E., the Common S. E., the high-
way S. W. He also bought John Dixon's or Dickenson's land in
the West Field, Sept. 14, 1664. The latter is said to have
removed to Hadley 1659 or 1660. It appears that this last men-
tioned tract of land was that on which the late home of Sam'l
Coleman, deceased, stands, on Mud Lane. It was there when Mr.
Crane built his dwelling-house and tanneries. The house was one
of the six houses fortified by vote of the town in 1704. The town
also gave him three acres of land on Beaver, now Tando's,
Brook, in 1660; served as juror 1664 : drew land in the allot-
ment of 1670, and purchased land of Daniel Rose, Dec. 8, 1671.
Jauuary 15, 1673, he is rated among inhabitants of Wethersfleld
to pav the town 0-4-5£; acquires more land next south of Job
Whiteomb's, February 22, 1680, March 25, 1680, July 13, 1680;
under latter date the land is located on the Connecticut River
on road to Middletown and road to Rocky Hill.

May, 1682, Benjamin Crane with others petitioned the Gen-
eral Court for liberty to " erect a plantation in the Wabaynassit
country" (Windham County). It was proposed to have a
'• Town Grant " ten miles square.

He married Mary Backus, daughter of William and Sarah
(Charles) Backus, April 23, 1655, and carried on the tanning
business about a mile below the village on the Middletown road.
The spot for many years has been known as "Old Crane's
Tannery Place." At his death. May 31, 1691, his son John
succeeded to the business. She died July 8, 1717. Children:

2—1. Benjamin, born March 1, 1656; drowned June 20, U!93.
3—2. Jonathan, bom December 1, 1053.
4—3. Joseph, born April 1, 1661.

FIRST GENERATION. l->

July 10, 1710. Whereas Benjamin Crane senior had a piece of
land granted by the town near Rocky Hill, the court gave half to
John and half to Jacob. Now John was dead, and Jacob
agreed with John Chester for the estate of John Crane, and
James Steel guardian for Josiah, son of John, to divide it,
Josiah to have the north half and Jacob (his uncle) to have the
south part.

June 11. 1711. Mary Crane of Wethersfield, for the love she
bore for her grandson, Benonie Crane, son of Abraham, gave
him 1 H acres, being on or near a place in Wethersfield known as
or called Cow Plain, being one-half of that lot laid out to said
widow Crane free and clear.

June 13, 1713. An agreement between the heirs of Benjamin
Crane senior and Benjamin. Jr. Jonathan Crane owned three
and one-half acres, for which he was to receive £20 current.
The heirs of Abraham Crane paid the £20. and Jonathan Crane
signed a release to all claims to the estate.

In the year 1693 we find the number of acres land held by the
family in Wethersfield. as follows : Jacob Crane, 51 acres 10-i
rods; John Crane. 102 acres 15^ rods; Widow Mary Crane, 106
acres 23 rods; Israel Crane, 109 acres 13 rods; Abraham Crane,

dated Sept. 15, 1712; mentions his four brothers by his
mother, Widow Martha, who married Samuel Terry, quite
likely children by Mr. Terry. After his debts are paid he
wills that his four brothers by his mother have all his
estate and to be equally divided, but if any of them are
sickly or weakly they should have more than the rest, and
further said that he counted that they were the uearest
relatives that he had. He appeared before the court and
made choice of Lt. Jonathan Borman or Boardman as his
guardian. This Jonathan was brother of his mother
Martha, and born February 4, 1660, at Wethersfield. Lt.
Jonathan accepted the charge, and gave bond May 1, 1710.
May 2, 1711, he asked the court to require Samuel Terry of
Enfield and Martha, his wife, administratrix on estate
late Benjamin Crane, Jr., to render an account of said
estate. October 6, 1712, court issued the order to report
before first Monday of June next. March 2, 1712-13, they
exhibited the account. Nearly the whole estate had been
expended on Isaac, the only child of said Benjamin. May
4, 1713, Samuel and Martha were discharged.

The life of Benjamin Crane [2], although brief, was rather an
eventful one.

April 3, 1685, he purchased land of John Ryley, and his
brother John Crane was witness to the transaction.

April 14, 1686, he took a deed from Nathaniel Foot of land
situated iu Wethersfield on the Connecticut River.

SECOND GENERATION".

April 14, 1690, Daniel Sayre and his wife Sarah of Southamp-
ton, N. Y., deeded to Benjamin Crane, Jr., " Tanner," land in
Wethersfield.

January 3, 1692, he took a deed of land situated in "South
field," Wethersfield, of Thomas Hosmer of Northampton, Mass.

July 2, 1692, Benjamin Crane, Jr., son and heir of Benjamin,
late of Wethersfield, deceased, quitclaimed land to his brother
Joseph Crane dated "April 19, in ye 4th year of y' reign of our
sovereign Lord and Lady, William and Mary" (1692). This
document was witnessed by his brother John Crane, and to which
both signed their full names. The reader will notice that
Benjamin, Jr., was also a tanner; in fact the family seemed to
adopt that occupation in connection with the tilling of the soil,
Benjamin. Sr., with his brother Henry. Benjamin, Jr.. and
brother John, all being tanners, and there may have been others
of the family who followed that line of business. According to
accessible records Benjamin, Jr., seems to have deferred his
marriage rather beyond the average for his time. Early mar-
riages were the custom as well as rule in those days, and to defer
such an important event until the age of thirty must have required
no small degree of independence, fortified with a record of good
moral character, for Mr. Royal R. Hinman, the historian, tells us
that the general court of the Connecticut colony ordered that no
young unmarried man, unless a public officer, or he keep a
servant, should keep house alone, except by license of the town,
under a penaltv of twenty shillings per week ; and that no head
of a family should entertain such young man under a like penalty
without liberty from the town.

Benjamin Crane, Jr., was enjoying the confidence of his fellow
townsmen when Sir Edmund Andros appeared as the willing tool
of King James II. in the capacity of Governor of New England,
and whose subsequent actions, including the demand for the
surrender of the charter of Connecticut, were so distasteful to
the people that more or less criticism was expressed, sometimes
it being uot altogether complimentary to the Governor and his
associates, and it came to the ears of the officials about Hartford
that Benjamin Crane had used language reflecting upon then-
good name and character.

Those familiar with our colonial history will remember that Sir
Edmund Andros, who had been governor of New York, arrived
in Boston. December 20, 1686* with a commission from King-
James II. for the government of New England, apparently the
object being to bring all the various colonies under one govern-
ment, he to" be governor-in-chief, with the seat of government at
Boston.

December 22 Andros wrote Governor Robert Treat that he was
ready to receive the surrender of the charter of Connecticut and

assume control of all New England. Governor Treat replied
that his people were loyal people of his majesty, and wished to
continue as such, and should submit to his majesty's royal com-
mands, even if it be to conjoin his colony with the other colonies
and provinces. A very courteous letter, but rather non-com-
mittal. June 13, 1687, Andros again wrote, pressing his demand
a little harder.

October 2"2, 1687, he wrote, demanding annexation. October
31 he appeared in Hartford at the head of a troop of soldiers,
and formally took possession of the colony, appointed Governor-
Robert Treat and Capt. John Allen members of his council, and
renewed his demand for the charter ; but during the debate in
the General Court, then assembled in Hartford in the evening,
suddenly the lights were extinguished and the charter was carried
and concealed in a hollow tree standing on the Willys estate;
and this tree was subsequently known as the " Charter Oak."

The people were not willing to give up their charter, upon
which all their property rights and privileges as citizens were
based. They were not pleased with the proposed changes in the
new form of government. They were willing to let well enough
alone. Dissensions coutinued, not alone in Connecticut, but in
Massachusetts as well ; and after Andros had made his tour on
through to New York and return, he reached Boston in October,
1688, to find that public sentiment had become aroused against
him ; the revolution came, and he was deposed and imprisoned.
Escaping from jail he fled to Rhode Island, was there re-arrested,
taken back to Massachusetts, and sent to England, and from
there he went to Virginia, where he was made governor, but
died in London, February 2-i, 1714. With the downfall of
Andros, Where did the power of government rest? was the ques-
tion that occupied the minds of the people. Should the old
officers who were in power when Andros took possession be rein-
stated, or new ones elected, and who had authority to call an
election? These were perplexing questions ; good people differed
as to the proper course to follow. In Hartford there was a sort
of public gathering, at which excitement ran high ; votes were
taken and doubts expressed as to the result, but at last the vote
to reinstate old officers was declared carried, although many per-
sons doubted the correctness of that decision. Governor Treat,
however, in October, 1690, when challenged as to his jurisdiction
in a trial before the court of assistants, claimed the election to
have been legal.

Now it seems that Benjamin Crane, Jr., was among those who
opposed Andros, and his assistants, and therefore belonged to
the party for retaining the old charter. Andros was no stranger
to the people of Connecticut. For many years while governor
of New York he had been harassing this colony with his unrea-
sonable demands, even going to the extent of appearing off
Saybrook. July 8, 167.3. with two vessels filled with armed men

to press a lauding for the purpose of taking possession of what
was then one of the chief ports of that colony, thus attempting
to rob the Connecticut people of valuable territory, of which
they had held peaceable possession for nearly forty years. This
bold action on the part of Andros aroused the blood of the Con-
necticut settlers, who were determined to hold every foot of land
covered by their charter, and so impressed the would-be usurper
with their firmness that he abandoned the scheme and went on
his way for that time, but to appear in another i'61e at a later
date. Therefore, in view of the whole situation, it does not at
this writing seem strange that when Andros came again to take
from them, as they believed, the rights they enjoyed under the old
charter the people should express their indignation and distrust.
Many of these gentlemen were earnest and outspoken, even
using words of contempt for those who were in authority under
Andros. Governor Treat, who felt the rebuke most keenly, was
determined that the dignity of the office should be maintained ;
therefore, as a warning to those who would speak ill of their
superiors, an order was issued for the arrest of Benjamin Crane,
Jr., he perhaps having been the most forcible or severe in his
criticism.

Thus the persecution of Benjamin Crane was instituted, he
avoiding arrest on the ground of want of jurisdiction. Those
claiming authority had received commissions from Andros, he
had been deposed, and they had thrown up their commissions ;
and the question, whether or not there had been a legal election to
reinstate the present otticials, had not, in the opinion of many
people, been fairly settled.

A brief account is given in the following language : " The Court
being informed that Benjamin Crane of Wethersrield had spoken
some hard words of those gentlemen who had thrown up their
commissions, &c, as if they were perjured, &c, they thought there
was cause for slander or defamation, so issued a warrant to bring
him into court. He resolved not to fall into their hands,
absconded, so issued a special rit warrant as they called it to a
man that was no officer to take a file of musketeers (musqueteers)
and break open his house and serch for him there and apreheud
Benjamin Crane and bring him into court. The honest man
with the warrant did not know what to do. The people were
enraged, and he was liable to be imprisoned if he did not act.
So he sends Benjamin notice of it, and then goes with soldiers to
the house. Benjamin's wife being big with child near her time,
and naturally afraid of guns, kept the door shut against them,
and told them her husband was not in the house. But while
their leader was at the other end of the house some of the com-
pany fetched a log to break the door. She, not thinking they
would break in the door, sat where she was near to it. Her
brother, seeing them bring the log, told his sister; she no sooner
removed than the log came violeutlv against the door and break

it, anrl in they rushed with their arms, frightening her almost to
death. Some of the men were ashamed, others very impudent.
They found not Benjamin. This woman, though young and nat-
urally robust, on account of the fright had a long and severe
delivery, and a long infirmity after it."

This attempt to apprehend Mr. Crane must have been made in
the autumn of 1690.

In the court records we find the following :

Cocrt Hartford, Nov. 28, 1690.
Col. Roet. Treat, Esq., Governor.
Whereas the court October last had complaint made to them of
Benjamin Crane of his notorious obsine speaking against the
authority's. The said court ordered that as soon as they may, call
him to account, and punish him for the same, which by the court
was attended to, and the court called said Crane to appear before
them, and showed him his charge which was for saving the
authority was a company of fore sworn wretches, that it was not
of the King nor of God but of the Divile, which he aeknowledth
in his passion he did say, and also his wishing himself anethema
maranatha and that his soule may perish to all eternity if he sub-
mitted to this government which was testified against him which
he acknowledged he submitted to the testimonie, and the court
having considered the case and the circumstances thereof Do
judge him worthy of severe punishment as could lie well laid
upon him, yet willing to be favorable as may be, Do sentance
the said Benjamin Crane to pay a fine of £15 to the treasurer of
this country and that the said Crane be committed to prison there
to continue till the said 15 lbs is paid and at his release he is to
give a £50 bond with sufficient security or sureties for his good
behavior till the court in March next and that then he appear and
take up his bond. The marshall was ordered upon his denyal of
submitting to the servace of the court to convey said Crane to
the common goale (and have his mittemus with him)."
The court, held Nov. 28, 1690, was made up as follows:
Col. Robert Treat, Esq., Governor,
Samuel Willys,
William Joanes,
Lt. Col. Jno. Allyn,
Capt. Samuel Talcott,
William Pitkin,
Nathaniel Stanley.
Judging from the following court record Benjamin Crane paid
his tine of fifteen pounds, but did not appear before the court
iu March, 1691, and may not have been strictly on his good
behavior, for his brother John Crane, who signed Benjamin's
bond, was called upon to pay the fifty pounds.
April 8, 1691.
The court ordered " that the clerk of the court do inform John

SECOND GENERATION. 21

Crane that they require that he return Benjamin Crane to prison,
that he do it within two days, and in failure thereof the court
resolve to take the forfeiture of his bond."
April 25, 1691.

"John Crane being called three times to appear in court and to
bring his brother Benjamin according to his bond. He appeared
not. so his bond of £50 is forfeited to the country treasury."

It is a fact worthy of notice that these brothers both died
young, and soon after this rather unfortunate political entangle-
ment; Benjamin was drowned June 20, 1603, and John died Oct.
21, 1694.

14. Liect. Jonathan Crane3 [3], (Benjamin1), married Deb-
orah Griswold, daughter of Francis Griswold, Dec. 19, 1678. She
was born May, 1661, and died about 1704. Mr. Griswold was in
Windsor in 1649. Went, from there to Saybrook, and from
thence, about 1660, to Norwich, where he was among the most
enterprising of the early settlers. Was called of Windham, Nor-
wich and Lebanon. He died June 6, 173.5. He was one of the
first settlers of Windham, Conn., erecting the first sawmill in the
town. Mr. Weaver says he was known as a blacksmith in 1715.

Dec. 11, 1690, he purchased of John Calkins of Norwich 1000
acres right in S. E. Quarter No. 2. He was at that time called
of Norwich.

October, 1606, he was appointed one of the Overseers of the
estate of Robert Wade. Appointed by the Assistants a Lieu-
tenant October, 1703. Was chosen Deputy to the General Court
from Windham 1701. 1703, 1705, 1707 to 1714, 1717. 1718, 1721

At the first public meeting of the settlers of Windham, Conn.,
held May 18, 1601, Jonathan Craue was one of the four persons
directed to run the town lines, which work had been accom-
plished by May 28, at which time another meeting was held, and
he with Joshua Kipley and Jonathan Giuniugs were chosen to
make division of the meadows at four shillings per day for their
services. During the summer he built and set in operation bis
grist-mill, which was on the site of what is now known as
Brigham's Mills.

Jonathan Crane with ten others petitioned the General Court
sittiug at Hartford, Oct. 6, i69l, to grant them a Town charter,
the town to be called Windham. The petition was granted May
12, 1692. At the first public town meeting, held June 12, 1692,
Mr. Crane was elected one of the "Townsmen," and at the same
meeting he with Thomas Huntington were directed to take meas-
ures for securing a minister. Their efforts were not crowned with
success until September of that year, when they agreed with Mr.
Samuel Whiting to come and carry on the ministry in that town.
He preached his first sermon there January 1, 1693, and the people
were so well pleased with him that they ratified the agreement
and chose Samuel Roberts and Jonathan Crane '■ to discourse
with him." He was directed to go with two others "to set to
rights the lots at the Ponds," also one of three persons appointed
" Collectors" to levy and gather rate. He resided on the "Hither
Place," now Windham Centre. Was on committee to provide a
convenient place for a burying ground ; also to run the town
lines with Mr. Joshua Ripley and three others. In May, 1695,
he was chosen Ensign of a military company, and commissioned
Ensign by the General Court in October of that year. January
i, 1695, Mr. Crane exchanged property with Sergt. Wm. Backus,
giving his grist-mill and receiving a new dwelling-house in Wind-
ham, situated on the house and home lot of Mr. Backus, four
acres of meadow lying on the Nochog path by the brook to the
little pine swamp, and one acre of meadow in the five-acre
meadow. This house and lot was on what was called the Hither
Place, and April 11, 1695, Mr. Crane sold it to Exercise Conant,
who sold it about one year later to John Abbe of Wenham for
£70 silver. In 1696 the town built a house for their minister,
Mr. Whitney. The work, except building the chimneys, was ac-
complished by the townspeople, led in four separate companies
or squads, Ensign Crane taking the lead of one of them. That
Mr. Crane was one of Windham's most active and influential
men there can be little doubt.

January 30, 1700, he with Rev. Samuel Whiting purchased the
front portion of William Backus's home lot, it being eight by
twenty rods square, and gave it to the town for a " meeting-house
plat or common." This lot was afterwards called " Windham
Green," and here the first meeting-house was erected. In 1698
he with Mr. Huntington purchased in behalf of the proprietors
of Windham a tract of land containing about ten thousand acres,
lying between Windham and Norwich, and west of the "Nip-
muck Path," called the " Mamosyneage lands." In the year
1700 this tract was made over to Rev. Samuel Whiting and
Jonathan Crane. They took the whole, care of laying it out into
lots and selling them to settlers. Lieut. Daniel Mason publicly
made claim to this land on Training-day in Windham, May 13,
1701, he having received a deed of it from one of the pretended
Indian owners. But the following September the General Court

SECOND GENERATION. 23

ratified and confirmed the purchase of Crane and Whiting, and
granted them a patent, thus preventing further controversy as to
the rightful ownership of this tract of land. In the year 1700
Lieut. Crane received permission from the Court at Hartford
" to keep a public victualing house for the entertainment of trav-
elers and strangers, and the retailiug of strong drink." Also
appointed by the General Court to view Plainfield and see best
place to erect a meeting-house ; chosen on committee to see the
miller and regulate the grinding of corn, it not being satisfac-
tory. October, 1701, on committee to run the town line;
October 20, 1702, on committee to see to completing the meeting-
house, and April 19, 1703, on committee to arrange the seating
of the same. This same year the town agreed to have but " one
ordinary, Lieut. Crane to keep it," and the General Court com-
missioned him Lieutenant. In 1704 he was on committee to run
out the line "from Appaynage to the southeast corner of the
town and c."

The Indian war broke out afresh in 1704, and Windham reor-
ganized her military company for the protection of the inhabit-
ants. John Fitch was chosen Captain. Jonathan Crane Lieu-
tenant, and Joseph Cary Ensign. Although the people at this
time became somewhat alarmed, no serious inconvenience was
experienced. In 1705 Mr. Crane was one of a committee to
have charge of all town lands ; to call meetings to vote on any
matters necessary, and to sign the acts to lay out highways, &c.
In 1713 the town voted to enlarge the meeting-house, and ap-
propriated £40 to pay for doing the work. The matter was,
however, reconsidered, and the subject finally disposed of by
deciding to build a new house of worship to meet the demands
of the rapidly increasing population. Deacons Cary, Brigham
and Lieut. Crane were chosen a committee to agree with the
workmen, Mr. Crane to serve as treasurer. The work was speed-
ily and successfully accomplished, the new building having been
erected on the site of the old one. In the year 1715 he served
on a committee to settle the question whether or not to allow the
north parish (Canada) to form a separate religious society.
After careful consideration of the matter, the prayer of the
petition was granted. In 1726 Jonathan Crane, Joshua Riplev
and John Fitch were chosen as representatives of the breth-
ren to act with the newly appointed deacons to constitute the
" seven pillars " or councillors of the church. These men were
recommended to the pastor, to be called together by him for
consultation whenever occasion demanded. Mr. Crane was one
of the first set of jurymen empaneled in the County of Windham
at the first Court of Common Pleas, holdeu June 2(5, 172(5. It is
reasonable to suppose that more than one occasion demanded the
attention of this constituted arm of the Church, the "seven
pillars." But we will quote but one, Xov. 13, 1728: "Whereas.
the work and business of the pastor of a Church is very great.

-i CRANE GENEALOGY.

and particularly the enquiring iuto scandal and procuring evi-
dence, and whereas, the Scripture informs us <that God has set
some in the Church to be helps in the government, voted, That it
shall be the work of the Representatives of the Bretheren, and
they are hereby desired, with all diligence, to attend upon it.
That when there is a public and common report that any person
belonging to the congregation hath committed any public scan-
dalous evil, to enquire into such report and bring information
and evidence to the pastor, provided that this be not understood
to hinder the pastor from taking cognizance of any scandal that
may otherwise clearly come to his knowledge, nor to hinder any
private brother from bringing a complaint whenever there be oc-
casion for it."

The following was taken from the records of Wethersfield :
••July 3, 1734 : Jonathan Crane of Lebanon Windham Co for the
love &c. I have for my two grandsons as follows John Crane of
Wethersfield and Abiah Crane of Windham, I give in equal part
or share all my right or interest in any lot or lotment of land
in Wethersfield. Acknowledged before Jonathan Huntington,
Justice."

This John and Abiah were brothers and the two eldest children
of Jonathan's son John.

The inscription upon the headstone over his grave in the
cemetery at Lebanon, Conn., reads as follows : " Here lies Mr
Jonathan Crane husband of Mrs Deborah Crane who lived a
pious and Godly life and left y° earth for heaven March yc 12"'
Anoc 1735, and in ye 77th year of his age."

25. Joseph Crane2 [4], { Benjamin1), married Sarah, daughter
of John Kilborne. Dec. 10, 1684. He died Nov. 28, 1707.
aged 46 years. At the distribution his estate was given to
his wife and children, as mentioned, "Benjamin, Isaac, Susan
Pool, Hannah Purple, and Ester Crane." His widow married
Mr. Leonard, and, Sept. 2, 1718, Joseph Talcott, Esq., Judge,
appointed this Mrs. Leonard of Wethersfield guardian of her
children, Esther, about 1*3, she desiring the same, and Isaac, about
11, she giving the necessary bond for £100.

Had land given him by his father Jan. 12, 1683, and acknowl-
edged March 5 that year. It was located near south end of
•■ Rocky Hill." in Wethersfield, on the highway towards Middle-
town.

He purchased of his brother Jacob 4^ acres of land located on
••Bever Brook," receiving the deed Oct. 9, 1696. Lot No. 163
on Connecticut River fell to him in the distribution of town lots.
Aug. G, 1697, he purchased a lot containing 24 acres of Michael
Griswold. He also owned 21 acres at or near "Tappin's hill "
Sarah, widow of Joseph Crane, late of Wethersfield, exhibited an
Inventory of the estate Jan. 5, 1707, and was appointed adminis-
tratrix. Abraham Kilborne had been appointed guardian for

SECOND GENERATION. ZO

Joseph's son Benjamin. Kilborne having died, Benjamin, aged
about 16, asked the Court, March 17, 1712-13, to appoint John
Wright as guardian, which was done. April 16, 1714, Benjamin
asked to have Abraham Morrison of Wethersfiekl appointed
guardian, and that was done.

May 12, 1709, widow was allowed to sell land to pay debts
against the estate, and October, same year, again allowed to sell
laud to pay debts, and save movable property so she and the chil-
dren could subsist.

Feb. 5, 1710-11, the Court granted further time to Sarah,
widow and administratrix, to administer the estate. June 7,
171-4, Sarah Leonard reported on estate of Joseph Crane, whole
amount £233 — 0 — 6. She was to have one-third, and each child
their part. June 8, 1714, this appears: "Whereas, the adminis-
tratrix of the estate of Joseph Crane, late of Wethersfiekl, is
married and moved out of this government, the Court granted
letters of administration to Joseph Kilbourn of Wethersfiekl,
which he accepted and gave bonds."

Jan. 18, 1714-15, Abraham Morris was added to administer
this estate. May 28, 1715, reported not enough movable prop-
erty to pay the debts. July 5, 1715, Court ordered 9 — 6 — 10 of
land to be sold to pay debts.

Joseph Crane, freeman, of Fairfield, Conn., March 18, 1689-

103. Joseph Crane3 [21], (Jonathan. -Benjamin1). Born in
Windham, Coun. When the new meeting-house was built
there, he, with a few other young men, in the year 1713, built a
pew for their own use. Just the date he left Windham does not
appear, but he evidently while a young man followed his uncles
Joseph and Elijah Crane to Fairfield, where he married ai out
the year 1719 Mary, daughter of Samuel Couch of that place.
She was born Dec. 15, 1095. Mr. Couch gave his son-in-law
property in Fairfield, deed dated Sept. 8, 1725. It will be seen
by referring to the notice of Joseph Crane's uncle Elijah that
after the death of this uncle, Benjamin, his youngest son, was iu
1727 made the ward of Capt. Samuel Couch of Fairfield. This
Joseph Crane in 1725 took an inventory of the estate of John
Allen of Fairfield. But later he appears to have removed to
Norwalk, and from there to the place now known as South East.
Putnam County, N. Y., locating in the town last mentioned about
the year 1730 on the north side of "Joe's Hill," about one mile
and a half east of Sodom Corners, where ou the east branch
of the Croton River he built " Crane's Mill." The site of
this mill is now covered by the Sodom Reservoir. Miss Kate
Crane, a descendant in this line, writes that recently an old Eng-
lish clock has beeu found in South East with the following mark
inside the case :" Joseph Crane, 1(520." This clock may have
been a wedding present, and ought ever to be retained in the
possession of the Crane family. Counterfeit money was reported
in circulation quite early in the history of this new country ; but
Joseph Crane was among those who were completely exonerated
from any connection or knowledge of the matter, as will be seen
from the following :

third of the whole estate during her natural life ; Sarah Tooley,
Hannah Purple, Esther Crane and Isaac Crane, younger children
of Joseph, deceased, single portions. The distributers were
Edward Bulkley, Capt. Ephraim Goodrich and Jonathan Smith.

There was a debt due from this estate of Joseph Crane to his
brother Jacob Crane. Possibly the following sale was for the
purpose of cancelling that debt, or a portion of it, for Benjamin
agreed to pay his uncle a debt which was due.

January 28. 1717-8, this Benjamin Crane sold to his uncle
Jacob Crane for £31 — 7 — 0, 44, acres of land in what was called
Dry Swamp, bounded on west and south by highway and Beaver

There was a Jonathan Crain of Wilton, N. H., who served in

40 CRANE GENEALOGY.

Whether Silas Crane was a soldier under Sir Wm. Pepperell of
Kittery Point, Me., in the expedition that captured Louisbourg in
June, 1745, we do not know of a certainty. But certain we are
that he was attracted, as were many others, to that spot known
and remembered as Acadia, that region made famous by the
muse of Longfellow, and where the broad acres and fertile fields
which those French exiles had been forced to abandon were
ready to welcome the new hand that should come to toil within
their borders. Connecticut furnished her quota of men for that
expedition, and ever after that 17th day of June, when M.
Chambon, governor of Louisbourg, surrendered to Commodore
P. Warren and Sir Wm. Pepperell, some of those undisciplined
soldiers, as they were called by the regulars, turned their eyes
occasionally in the direction of that fair country which had so
generously been offered them by the English government.

Although the right to control these lands had passed back
and forth at various times, 1621 to 1755, between France and
England, quite a French population were still residents there,
and, siding as they naturally did with the Indians against the
English, became a constant source of alarm and a serious
obstruction to progress among the New England settlements.
At last a determination was formed to get rid of them if possi-
ble. To that end an expedition was planned, with Sir Wm.
Pepperell at its head. Lt.-Col. Wm. Vaughn of Portsmouth,
N. H., has the distinction of having proposed the scheme of
taking Cape Breton to Gov. Wm. Shirley, who immediately ap-
proved it. Mr. Vaughn traveled through the several provinces
securing subscriptions of money and engaging men to enlist in
the enterprise. Although a resolution was passed by a majority
vote in the assembly of Massachusetts Bay Jan. 25, 1744-51,
favoring a movement, all preliminaries were worked quite secretly.
Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts were called upou to furnish
men and means, Connecticut sending about 500 men toward the
nearly 4000 furnished by the colonies to act in conjunction with
Commodore Sir Peter Warren, then commanding his majesty's
fleet, stationed along the Atlantic coast, then at West Indies.
Enlistments began February 2, and by the latter part of the
following month 3000 men were on the way to Canso. They were
followed by others, and April 30 the army was drawn up before
Louisbourg demaudiug its surrender. Steady constant work was
put in step by step, the lines were tightened, until June 16 the
stronghold succumbed, and the following day the French gov-
ernor surrendered to Commodore Peter Warren and Sir Wm.
Pepperell, after a siege of 49 days. It was a great victory. It
gave to New England a certain degree of security which hitherto
she had not known, and opened the way for developing her out-
lying settlements. The newly conquered territory also became a
prize for those who were desirous of receiving a share in the

FOURTH GENERATION". 41

spoils of war. Lord Halifax formed a project by which the
English colony of Nova Scotia might be augmented, and in 1749,
after being adopted by the government, was set in motion, and
the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations issued in
March of that year a proclamation by which 50 acres of land was
offered to every soldier and sailor who would settle in that part
of America, free of rent for 10 years, and not more than one
shilling per annum for the 50 acres afterwards. To every sol-
dier and sailor who had a wife and children 10 acres more were
offered for every individual in his family, and for every increase
that should afterwards happen to the family; to each subaltern
officer 80 acres, and 15 more for each of his family, 200 acres to
each ensigu, 300 to each lieutenant, 400 to captain, 600 to each
officer in rank above captain, and 30 acres more for each person
in his household. The government also engaged to transport
and maintain the new settlers one year at its own expense, to
furnish them with such arms, provisions, utensils, implements
and tools as necessary to put them in condition to clear and cul-
tivate their lands, build habitations, and commence a fishery.
Carpenters and other handicraftsmen were offered same oppor-
tunities as soldiers and sailors ; surgeons were to receive same as
ensigns. Within two months 3750 persons embarked and located
the place called Halifax, and for several years government
expended large sums of money annually to assist settlers in
locating in Nova Scotia. The increase in population was so
rapid that in July, 1755, the French that had held on, not being
willing to give up all, saw that it was of no use to further con-
tend, and abandoned their possessions, and left the country quite
free to the English settlers, and the people of Connecticut as
well as other provinces were encouraged to try their fortunes in
this new country. About the year 1751 the people of Norwich,
Conn., entered into the coastwise trade, building of ships, &c,
which opened up communication with Nova Scotia, and many of
the people about the eastern portion of Connecticut were
anxious to possess some of the abandoned farms left by the
exiled Acadiaus, and Silas Crane with his family were among the
number. In 1760 he with his son Silas drew certain lots in the
township of Horton — one of 50 acres marked A No. 2, located
in Wolfville, about three miles from Grand Pre; he also drew a
town lot, one-half acre and three farm lots. Nos. 2S9, 290 and 291.
Silas. Jr., drew farm lot No. 292. These four lots contained
245 acres each, and adjoined the river.

They also had other lauds set off to them in the first division,
record of which was made in a book which has since been
burned. Mr. James Leard, government surveyor for Kings
county, 1891, writes: "We know that a majority of the first
settlers came from Connecticut ; 240 came very soon after the
expulsion of the Acadians. and it is said many of them were with
Sir Wm. Pepperell at the takimr of Louisboura: in 1745." Another

company of settlers, including Col. Noble of Boston, being
attracted thither in 1755, were surprised by the French, and the
colonel, with his two lieutenants and some 70 men, were killed.
Mr. James Leard remembers when a boy (many years ago)
James Noble Crane, son of Jonathan, who pointed out to him the
spot on his (Leard's) farm where Col. Noble and his two
lieutenants were buried between two old French apple trees ; but
the trees have now disappeared, and nothing remains to mark the
spot where they were laid to rest.

In August, 1760, it was claimed that 6000 people from Ameri-
can settlements, principally from Long Island and Connecticut,
had recently settled in Nova Scotia. Among the names of those
who settled with the Cranes there we find those of John Allen,
John Allen. Jr., Jas. Anderson, John Atwell, Benj. Beckwith,
Derius, Elisha and Jacob Brown, William, Peter and John
Bishop, Sr., and John Bishop, Jr., Obed Benjamin, Timothy
Bishop, Richard and Christopher Best, Andrew Belcher, John
Burbidge, Jeremiah Calkin, Sr. and Jr., Benj. Cleveland, Wm.
Coldwell, John and Jonathan Davidson, Nathan, Jehial and
Simeon DeWolfe, Daniel Dodge, Andrew and David Sherman,
Robert, William, Samuel Deunison, and their father. Col. Robert

Of course it will be noticed that they were not "refugees."
They did not leave their country to escape the results of the
Revolutionary war. as many others did during that eventful
period in American history, but removed to Nova Scotia many
years prior to the Revolution, and when that event came it found
them in quite different circumstances. Their environments were
of quite another sort. Many if not all of them were living
under patronage of the mother country. They had been given
special privileges under the crown in the possession of their lauds,
and therefore, as honorable men, were under obligation to stand

and daughter of Samuel Belden. He was a resident of South
East, N. Y., and lived and died on the old homestead, and a
physician and judge in Duchess Co. 16 years. She died Feb.
27, 1786, aged 58. " He died Oct. 14, 1800, aged 78. He owned
a large tract of land situated in South East ; also some adjoining-
it, but over the line in Connecticut. It was called "Joe's Hill."
At the foot of this hill, located on the Croton River, stood
"Crane's Mill," built by his father. Dates of births and deaths
of this family were furnished by Carso Crane from the family
Bible.

Feb. 24, 1776, Joseph Crane memorialized the New York
delegates in Continental Congress, and the same was received
Feb. 26, in which attention was called to his services in the last
campaign, and praying the care of an artillery company. After
the memorial had been read, action on the same was post-
poned until the appointment of artillery officers was resumed.
March 16 he was appointed Captain Lieutenant to serve in the
Artillery Company whereof .John Grinnell is Captain, on his
(Joseph Crane) producing a certificate that he has been ex-
amined and is duly qualified.!

" Head Quarters New York April 9 1776 a certificate from
S. Badlam Capt of Artillery dated 8th instant was read and filed.
He hereby certifies that he has examined Joseph Crane as to his
knowledge in gunnery and considering his merits and experience.

dered, that the said Joseph Crane pursuant to the order of the
provincial Congress of the 16th of March last be Capt Lieutenant

Beauman Esq is Captain."

Dr. Crane was one of the most prominent men in the county
during the Revolutionary war. Was Chairman of the South
East Precinct Committee in 1775 and 1777; also one of the
Supervisors in 1773, 1787 and 1789. Was it this Dr. Crane or
his son that was ordered by the Provincial Congress, Sept. 17,

1776, with Mr. Duane, Mr. Duer and Mr Schenck, to inquire
into the situation of the Light Horsemen and Lieut. Onderdonck,
and report thereon?

From the wording of the above memorial to the Continental
Congress by Joseph Crane we understand he had rendered his
country service at some prior date, and in New York Colonial
MSS., Vol. LXXXV., page 132, may be found the following:

••Muster Roll of a company of Provincials in ye pay of ye
Province of New York for Dutchess County commanded by
Joseph Crane Esq." Also, same volume, page 141, an order, the
substance of which is here given: "Copy of warrant from the

Col. Thaddeus Crane served in the war of the Revolution. Was
2d major of the 2d Reg., Westchester County, May 28, 1778
(also captain of North Salem company) ; major Sept. 29, 1780.
April 26 he was shot through the hip during the engagement at
Ridgefield, Conn, (expedition to Danbury), and he asked the
Honorable Council to reimburse him for loss of time, costs, &c.

" Kingston Aug 9. 1777. To Egbert Benson Esq

Gentlemen. It being my misfortune, in repulsing the
enemy at Ridgefield on the 26 of April last to meet with a wound
from them, which confined me to my bed for a long time : and I
was at great expense by loss of time and cost of doctor, I desire
to know from your Honorable Council whether I am to receive
any wages or relief from the State, and where to apply to get
the same if any is allowed. These from your Honor's humble
servant.

To Honorable Council of Safety

State of New York. Thaddeus Crane ."*

Nearly nine years later the legislature of New York passed.
April 22, 1786, an act making provisions for officers, soldiers
and seamen, who had been disabled in the service of the United
States.

The payment of pensions to the soldiers of New York and
other States began, according to the '-Ledger Rev. Accounts."
March, 1782. '• Crane, Thaddeus, major (Col. Thomas' militia),
shot through the body; expedition to Danbury, April 27, 1777."

It will be noticed that his petition to the Honorable Council of
New York states that he was shot April 26, while subsequent
entries give it as April 27.

According to published accounts! we learn that Danbury,
Conn., was, in the latter part of the year 1776, selected by the
commissioners of the American army as a place of deposit for mili-
tary stores, and at this time, April, 1777, large quantities of pork,
flour, beef, grain, rum, wine, rice, tents, army carriages, besides
other valuable articles, had been collected here, and Gov. Tryon,
at the head of 2000 men from New York, proceeded by sailing
vessel to Fairfield, and landing there Friday, April 25, during the
afternoon and night, marched the next day, the 26th. to Dan-
bury, where they arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon. Tryon
and his soldiers were met here by a small detachment of Conti-
nental troops, who were, owing to the vastly superior number of
thr British, obliged to evacuate the town ; not, however, until
they had secured or removed a considerable quantity of stores

and provisions ; and it would appear from the reading of Col.
Thaddeus Crane's petition that it was in the act of holding the
enemy at bay and in attempting to save some of these stores
from destruction that he received his wound. The next day,
April 27th, early in the morning Tryon and his men set fire to the
buildings, and immediately marched from the town on their way
back to their vessel, the object of their expedition having been
accomplished. Of course a general alarm had been givefn snon
as the enemy appeared at Fairfield, and Brigadier-General
Sillirnan, with about five hundred militia, immediately started in
pursuit of the enemy. They were joined at Reading with Major-
General Wooster and Brigadier-General Arnold, but the wet con-
dition of the roads prevented the Continentals from reaching the
enemy until Tryon was on his way back to his vessel, about
eleven o'clock in the forenoon, April 27, when General Wooster
and his men held a smart skirmish with the enemy, and Wooster
was shot through the groin. General Arnold also came up about
the same time with his command and engaged the enemy, and a
lively action lasting about an hour occurred. Arnold's horse was
shot from under him, but the general, recovering himself, drew his
pistol and shot the soldier who was advancing on him with fixed
bayonet. The Continentals could do no more than fall back and
harass Tryon and his men until they succeeded the next day,
April 28th, in reaching their vessel and setting sail for Long
Island. Notwithstanding the fact that the Continental troops
succeeded in saving some of the stores deposited at Danbury,
there was a large quantity destroyed, a careful estimate placing
the loss* at 3000 barrels of pork, something over 1000 ban-els
flour, several hundred barrels beef, 1(300 tents, 2000 bushels of
grain, besides quantities of rum, wine, rice, army carriages, &c.
Nineteen dwellings, a meeting-house, twenty-two stores and
barns were burned. The loss of men on the American side was
judged to have been about sixty killed and wounded. The Brit-
ish loss was more than double that number ; also about twenty
prisoners. Thaddeus Crane was captain in the Westchester
County militia under Col. Thomas Thomas, receiving his com-
mission in 1775; afterwards second major, 2d Regt., 1775, and
lieutenant-colonel Feb. 17, 1780, 4th Regt., Westchester County.
He was delegate to the New York State Constitutional Conven-
tion in 1788, and voted for adoption of the Constitution. He
was delegate to the New York Legislature 1777, 1778, 1779 ;
member of the New York Assembly (Provincial Congress) in
1777-9, 1788, 1789. His sword is retained in the hands of his
grandson, Thaddeus Crane of Somers, N. Y. The old Crane
homestead is at North Salem, Westchester County, N. Y., where
Col. Thaddeus Crane lived, and where his nineteen children were
born.

min1), married Mary Chapman, Jan. 22, 1762. She was born in
South East, N. Y., Jan. 4, 1745. It is said her father was a
clergyman and from Cape Cod, and settled in New Milford,
Conn., but died May 10, 1814, at the home of his sou Joseph in
Kent, Conn., and was buried there. April 10, 1770, he pur-
chased a house and lot, also a blacksmith shop, hi New Milford,
11 miles north of the meeting-house.

He was a private in Thompson's Co., Wessenfel's Regt. ;* also
Miller's Co., Philips' Regt., State troops, and Col. Spencer's Regt.
Line L. B. T. 14.6.17.; also captain and commissary of artillery
in the war of the Revolution.! His widow married Peter Smith of
Harperstield, N. Y. She died June 24, 1824. Mr. Crane was
chosen overseer of highways at Carrnel, at first town meeting,
held at the house of John Crane, son of Zebulon, April 7, 17'J5,
and this John Crane was chosen town clerk.

Rev. Ezra F., grandson of Stephen Crane, writes; "My
grandmother Crane was one of the grandest women of her age, a
perfect heroine in the Revolutionary war. My grandfather was
living at Danbury, Conn., when the British burned the town. He
and all his men from the shop left for the fort near by, but my
grandmother stood her ground, and stood in the door of the house
when the British officer rode up, who had his men search the
house ; finding she was alone, no men near, caused a guard to be
placed around the house till the army passed, and thus saved her
house." She was daughter of Isaac and Mary (Paddock) Chap-
man. Her father was born in Dennis, Mass., April 7, 1721, and
settled in South East, N. Y., about the year 1740. Her mother,
Mary Paddock, was daughter of Peter Paddock, who was born
June 3, 1724, aud died at South East, Nov. 8, 1776. Isaac
Chapman, father of Mrs. Crane, was son of Isaac, who was
born in Barnstable county, Mass., Dec. 29, 1602, and grandson
of Isaac, born Aug. 4, 1647, and great-grandson of Ralph Chap-
man Southwark of Surrey county, England. Children :

married Capt Joshua Barnum of Danbury, Conn., and settled in
South East, Putnam County. N. Y., in 1755. She died April 17,
1810. Capt. Barnum was born in 1737, and died Oct. 23, 1822.
He was an officer in the war of the Revolution, rendering valua-
ble service ; was wounded during the engagement at "Ward's
House," near White Plains. In battle of White Plains he took
the lock from the door of the prison, thereby liberating a number
of federal soldiers confined there; was wounded, taken prisoner,
marched to New York, and confined on board one of the prison
ships at Wallabout near Brooklyn, which ships were called
'•Ships of Death." After a time he was released, but crippled
with a shattered limb and the loss of sight in one eye. During
the war the captain was necessarily absent from home much of
the time, but the wife superintended the work on the farm while
her boys did the work. In the meantime the son of a neighbor
(Doty by name) who had enlisted in the army deserted, which
fact so grieved his mother that she went to Mrs. Barnum in her
distress of mind, and Mrs. Barnum sent her eldest son, 1(5 years
of age, who served through one campaign as a substitute for the
Doty boy. Children :

listed May 11 ; discharged Dec. 17, 1775. Mr. Crane and his
wife joined the church in 1765. March 4, 1770, he sold his home
place to his brother-in-law Thomas Kilbey. At the time of the
baptism of the two youngest children Mrs. Crane was a widow.
His mother Lydia Crane says he died in camp.

The following shows how claims were collected in the 18th
century: "Whereas Geo. Olcott recovered judgment against
Ruth Crane first Tuesday of Nov., 1789, for £10—18—11 and
costs, 0 — 17 — 11, and for want of money the officer is ordered

enlisted Feb. 28, 1778, during the war of the Revolution, as
private in Capt. Thos. Wopster's company, Col. Samuel B.
Webb's regiment, which was the 3d regiment, and known as
Additional Infantry of Connecticut Line, 1777-1781. June 1,
1781. he was promoted to corporal in Capt. Roger Alden's com-
pany, same regiment (3d), Additional Infantry of Connecticut
Line of 1781-1783. Lt.-Col. Wm. S. Livingston acted as
colonel of this regiment while Col. Webb was held as a prisoner,
having been captured by the enemy while in command of an
expedition against Long Island on Dec. 10. 1777, and confined
till Jan. 1. 1781. Col. Webb's regiment after the enlistment of
Mr. Crane was, during the summer of 1778, attached to
Varnam's brigade, and took part in the battle of Rhode Island,
August 29, and was complimented for its conduct at that time.
The Regiment remained in Rhode Island until the fall of
1779, when it proceeded to Morristown, N. J., where it passed
the winter of 1770-1780. having been assigned to Stark's
brigade. Lt.-Col. Ebeuezer Huntington being then in com-
mand. June 23, 1780, was present at the battle of Spring-
field, X. J., and during the following summer served with the
main army on the Hudson. Col. Webb's regiment was after-
wards styled the 9th Regiment Additional Infantry of the
Connecticut Line, and passed the wiuter of 1780 and 1781
with the division at camp "Connecticut Village," above the
Robinson House on the Hudson, where it was reorganized Jan.
1. 1781. into the 3d regiment of the Connecticut Line with the
2d and 9th late •• Additional Infantry" regiments, formation of
1781-1783. Col. Webb's regiment continued in service until the
close of the war, Mr. Crane serving with it nearly five and one-
half years, from 1778 to 1783. He received an honorable dis-
charge, but died prior to the passage of the act of congress grant-
ing "pensions ; his widow, however, became a pensioner,
beginning with the year 1837, and continued to receive it up to
the time of her death.

Mr. Crane married Oct. 6, 1774. Elizabeth Palmer. He died
at Eaton. N. Y-, Oct. 10. 1828. She died at Milford, N. Y.,

287. William Crane4 [125], (John,3 Abraham,2 Benjamin1) .
Under date of May 27, 1773, we find the following, showing that
he then resided in Wethersfield, Conn. : " We, Thomas Kilbey and
wife Hannah, Curtis and William Crane, all of Wethersfield, sold
to Capt. Chas. Churchill of Wethersfield apiece of land in Weth-
ersfield, in the Parish of Newington, in tier No. 19, thirteen
acres, bounded west on land of John Crane, north on land of said
Churchill, south on land of Simon Griffin and Lydia, his wife.
All signed this document on the above date." He was private
in Capt. John Chester's company, lib' men, who volunteered, in
response to the Lexington alarm, from Wethersfield : discharged
after six days' service ; enlisted May 'Jth in Capt. John Chester's
company ('Jth), 2d Regt. Vol., Gen. Joseph Spencer; served in
and about Boston at time of siege; reported deserted Dec. 1,
1775 ; private in Capt. Jonathan Wells' company, Hartford, Col.
Erastus Wolcott's regiment, state militia ; served about Boston,
January to March, 1776.

It will be noticed that this William Crane is reported as
having deserted ; but it appears from records in existence that
a number of men entered as deserters about December 1,
explained in petitions to the General Assembly of the Colony of
Connecticut that they had no intention of deserting, but believing
their time had expired on that date instead of December 10.
The Assembly ordered them to be paid for full time. This
William Crane was among the number. His mother, Lydia Crane,
states in a petition at the May session of the Assembly, 1776, that
she had three sons in the service in 1775. (They were John, Curtis
and this William). ' -The oldest died in camp, the second returned,
and the third, William, who had enlisted in Capt. Chester's com-
pany, and fought at Bunker's Hill, left his regiment about
November 30th, supposing his time to be out, but, being taken
down with fever on the way, wandered in his delirium to Leicester,
Mass.. and died there."*

A careful examination of the records at Leicester, Mass.,
failed to disclose the record of the death of this William Crane;
and it is quite probable that the good mother was misinformed at
that time, and that her son William recovered and re-enlisted,
being in service at the time she prepared her petition. The
means of getting information from any considerable distance in
those days were such that it would not be strange if conflicting
reports had reached Wethersfield about these supposed deserters,
and that this widowed mother, who had furnished three soldiers

for the cause of national freedom, all the sons she had, and one
of those then deceased while in the service, was easily led to
believe that this the youngest of her sons was dead ; but, from the
best information at hand, it appears that after the close of
the Revolutionary war he settled in Great Barrington, Mass.
May 25, 1818, William Crane of that place made his will, in
which he mentions his wife Rebecca, and grandchildren Harriet
Grain and William Whiting Crain, "children of my late son,
William Crain ; Albert Lewis Crain, Aurelia Loiza Crain,
children of my late sou, Whiting Crain, deceased ;" and daugh-
ter, Sally Crain ; his wife Rebecca to be executrix. She
presented the will for probate June 4, 1818 Dec. 31, 1829,
Sally Crain, the daughter, and then the only child living, peti-
tioned the court to appoint Timothy Turner administrator for her
mother (Rebecca Crain's) estate, she then being deceased. The
appointment was made, and inventory filed Feb. 9, 1830, the
total amount being eighty-eight dollars and a few cents. Rebec-
ca died Dec. 19, 1829. Mr. Crain was a farmer and tailor by
trade. Children :

291. Capt. Abraham Crane4 [128], (Abraham,3 Abraham,'2
Beujamin1), married Mary, probably daughter of Joshua Rob-
bins of Wethersfield, where they resided. She died May 20,
1813, aged G7 years. He died June 29, 1808, aged 69 years.
He united with the church Feb. 5, 1774. He was one of the
executors of Joshua Robbins' estate, and Mary Crane was one
of the heirs. May 15, 1808, his will was exhibited in court, and
Abraham and Benjamiu Crane, both of Wethersfield, were named
executors. April 26, 1809, an inventory of the estate was
filed, amounting to $4,809.57, including 33 sides sole-leather.
Abraham and David Crane of Wethersfield and Elijah Crane of
Sandisfield, Berkshire County, Mass., brothers, deeded land in
Wethersfield, Conn., to Silas Deane of Wethersfield, which be-
longed to the heirs of Joseph Webb, deceased, March 1, 1769.
March 25, 1771. Abraham deeds land to Wm. Loveland. Jan.
26, 1773, David, then of Sandisfield, Mass., deeded to his brother
Abraham land in Wethersfield, being one-half of the home lot
that belonged to his honored father Abraham Crane, late
deceased ; it joined land of Jedediah Sanburn, with barn stand-
ing partly on said acre, " only reserving the right for my mother
during her natural life." June 9, 1777, David Crane of Sandis-
field, Mass., deeded land to Abraham that formerly belonged to
his brother Benjamin, deceased, adjoining his mother, Rebecca's,
land. He willed his tannery to his sons Abraham and Benjamin.

on that day he deeded land to his brother Abraham ; same lime
his mother Rebecca released her dower by her mark [X],
Benjamin and David being witnesses. He removed from Weth-
ersfield to Sandislield, Berkshire County, Mass., prior to March
1, 1769, where he carried on farming, and where he died Aug.

youngest children. Dec. 11, 1776. he deeded to his brother
Abraham all his right, title and interest in 24 acres lying in parish

33-4. Silas Crane5 [1-U], (Silas,4 Jonathan,3 Jonathan,2

1760 and drew farm lot -292, containing 245 acres; afterwards
resided at Economy. Said to have had a daughter.

335—1. Grace, m. James Pineo. He was b. Aug. 2, 1777.

33(3. Col. Jonathan Crane5 [146], (Silas,4 Jonathan,3
Jonathan,- Benjamin1), went with his father from Lebanon,
Conn., where he was born in the year 1750, to Horton, Nova
Scotia. Married at Horton, Rebecca Allison, a native of Lon-
donderry, Ireland. He was a magistrate, and also held a colo-
nel's commission in the militia of the Province, and was a member
of the Nova Scotia Parliament for the township of Horton for
many years. It is related of him that one day coming out of
the Government House, John Howe asked him, " What is going
on?" "Oh," replied Crane, "'tis all a game of whist, the
honors are divided and nothing is to be got except by tricks."
He was on duty with his regiment one year, while stationed at
Halifax. Col. Crane was the first person elected to represent his
township, and continued to be re-elected until his death. He
represented Kings County in the Provincial Parliament, and was
in his day the most prominent man in that part of Nova Scotia.
The house where he lived is the oldest in that part of the county,
and was, in 1882, occupied by his grandson William Crane.

Col. Crane was a man of more than ordinary ability, became
very popular and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
Many stories are related illustrating his characteristics. Among
them the following: " On one occasion, while the Colonel was in
charge of protecting the people against attacks from the enemy
to King George III., an American privateer ran in shore for the
purpose of foraging, when the Colonel hastily collected a number
of his townsmen, armed them from the magazine, manned the
Parrsboro packet, and put off in hot pursuit after the privateer.
With their six-pounder of brass they felt confident they could
capture their game. But their valor proved much greater than
their discretion, for the well-armed privateer soon induced them
to surrender, and putting a prize crew on board the packet she
was headed down the basin for Boston, much to the dismay of
the crowd of people who had collected on shore to witness the
affray. But the Grand Pre men were not slow to improve their
opportunities : although the greater portion of them were fastened

below as prisoners, several of them were depended upon to assist
the prize crew in navigating the packet to Boston. When night
came, William Bishop conceived a plan, which, though desperate,
promised a chance for freedom. Having arranged matters with
his comrades on deck, at a given signal, when there was but one
watch on deck, Bishop dealt the steersman a blow with a marline-
spike and threw his body into the Lazeretto, while other Grand
Pre1 men were taking care of the victims assigned them, fastening
below the remaining privateersmen, and liberating their Grand
Prd associates below hatches, thus enabling them soon to regain
possession of the packet, which thev turned towards the basin,
soon arriving home, to the surprise of their friends on shore, and
acquiring no small degree of notoriety for themselves."

At another time the Colouel was successful in outwitting John
Thomas Hill, sheriff and customs officer. The Colonel imported
a cask of good old Jamaica, the flavor of which he believed
would be very much injured were the government's blighting
stamp placed upon it. But Mr. Hill, with the usual persistency
of a customs officer, was determined that nothing should escape
his notice, and that the King should have his own. The Colonel
knowing full well the alertness with which Mr. Hill executed his
official duties, drove with great parade of stealth to Horton
Landing, where the schooner lay. with his oxen and cart, loaded
a cask and proceeded on his return home, when he was met by
Officer Hill, who demanded a surrender. The Colonel submitted
with a very bad grace, and the oxen, cart, cask and contents
were confiscated in the king's name. The officer's disgust can
be better imagined than described, when, upon inspection next
morning, he found the cask contained pure water with the small-
est snifter of rum.

Colonel Crane had the honor of "dining and wining" his
Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, father of the present Queen
Victoria, while on a visit to Halifax as commander-in-chief of
His Majesty's forces ; and the report is handed down that the
Colonel's wife, a very estimable lady, who some now living can
recall to mind, when informed that the Duke had brought with
him a French lady as companion of his joys, that she made it her
business to make sundry calls on her neighbors, thereby escaping
an introduction to His Royal Highness and Mademoiselle Ka-
zenksky.

He died at Grand Pre. August, 1820. She died there in 18-41,
aged 89 years.

350. Benjamin Crane3 [151], (John,4 John,3 Jonathan. -
Benjamin1). Under date of Feb. 6, 17(32, there is a "purpose
of marriage between Benjamin Crane of Western, Mass., and
Sarah Witherbee who has lately dwelt at Western." The entry
was made evidently by Simeon Dwight, then Town Clerk of that
place, and that is all we have been able to get from the town
records. From the office of Register of Deeds at Springfield,
Mass., we learn that Benjamin Grain, cooper by trade, of West-
ern, and Sarah his wife, sold land (110 acres) in Shutesbury,
April 4, 1764. He also sold land on May 4, 1774, located in
Merryfield (now Chester), at which time he was called of Brook-
field. Again he sold land Jan. 16, 1777. At this time he is
called "cooper of Western." As the family record gives evi-
dence of twenty years residence in this locality it seems strange
that not one at least of his children are mentioned in the records
of either Western (now Warren) or Brookfield. From the
archives at the State House, Boston, we learn that Benjamin
Crane of Western was a private in Capt. Ezekiel Kuowlton's
company. Col. Dyke's Regiment, and served from Dec. 1. 1776,
to March 1, 1777; and from Rev. Horace Alouzo Crane, M.A.,
his great-grandson, we find he married Sarah Witherbee, March
16, 1762." Children :

351—1. Sarah, b. Aug. 12, 1762, at Western.

352—2. John, b. Oct. 30, 1763, at Western.

On the town records of Tolland, Conn., we find Arnos Crane

are unable to positively connect this family. Children :

jamin1). Dr. John Crane was born in Tolland. Conn. His

mother was Rebeckah Huntington. His grandmother on the
maternal side was Rebeckah Adgate. This relationship doubtless
brought him into association with Eleazer Wheelock, A.M.,
D.D., sou of Deacon Ralph and Ruth (Huntington) Wheelock.
This Ruth Huntington's mother having been Sarah Adgate, sister
to Dr. Crane's grandmother. Mr. Wheelock was a graduate of
Yale College in 1733, was ordained pastor of the Second Con-
gregational Church, Lebanon, Conn., in March, 1735. He was
very successful as a preacher and pastor. In addition to his
ministerial charge he was greatly interested in the education of
young men, especially the youth of the Indian nations. After
having taken into his family several of the latter for the purpose
of educating and training them to serve as missionaries among
their own people, he conceived the idea of establishing and con-
ducting a missionary school, where Indian boys might be fitted
to perform missionary work ; and a house and two acres of land
adjoining his own home place was given him in the year 1754 by
Joshua Moore of Mansfield for the purpose, and the school
established. After conducting "Moore's School," as it was
then called, for several years, Mr. Wheelock thought the advan-
tages might be greatly increased by changing its location and
merging it into a college. Accordingly he obtained a charter
from John Wentworth, then Governor of New Hampshire, and
set out on a tour of inspection for the purpose of selecting a site
on which to locate his college. Dr. John Crane is said to have
accompanied Mr. Wheelock on this trip, and assisted in selecting
Hanover, N. H., as the location. Dr. Crane removed from
Connecticut with Rev. Eleazer Wheelock to Hanover in August,
1770, and in 1773 built one of the first houses erected there. It
stood on Main Street, first house south of Dartmouth Hotel.
The house with several others was consumed by fire in Decem-
ber, 1886. The lot, about an acre of laud, on which Dr. Crane
built his house was presented to him by the College to encourage
him to locate here. He was the first resident physician and
apothecary in the place, and acquired considerable reputation as
such. In 1776 he joined the army as surgeon and served until
Dec. 31, 1783, serving in Col. Vose's 1st and Col. Smith's 13th
Regiments, — Continental Army pay accounts for service from
Oct. 24, 1777, to Dec. 31, 1779; also service from Jan. 1, 1780,
to Dec. 31, 1780; also Lieut. Calvin Smith's 6th Regiment, wages
allowed from January, 1781, to December, 1782, 24 months. He
was at the battle of Saratoga, and in winter quarters at Valley
Forge. He was a member of the Massachusetts Society of the
Cincinnati, and was succeeded in 1809 by his son, John Hunt-
ington Crane. Dr. Crane attended President Wheelock in his
last sickness, when he died April 24, 1779. Oct. 15, 1784, he
signed a petition for a road from Boscawen on Merrimack River
to the Connecticut River. Dr. Crane married Hannah Brown,
and died in February, 1786. His widow married Col. Aaron
Kinsman also a Revolutionary soldier. She died in 1817.

Mass. Mr. Crane was one of the first ten settlers of the town
of Washington, Mass., going there in 1760, — from 1762 until
1777 the place was called Hartwood, — and with the exception of
two years spent his life there. Jan. 30, 1772, he was appointed
to settle his brother Amos Crane's estate of Tolland, Conn., and
gave £200 bond to the court for faithful performance of the
trust. Elijah was then called of Hartwood, Mass. Amos is
said to have been killed by the Indians. Shortly before his
death he removed to Madrid. N. Y., at which place he died Jan.
1.3, 1818. His widow died in Canton, St. Lawrence County,

1776, discharged March 20. 1777. Marched to the northward,
probably in Major Clap's Regiment. He again served in Capt.
Porter's company, Col. Rositer's Regiment. From July 1 to Dec.
31, 1779, he served as private in Major's company, Col. Ebenezer
Sprout's Regiment, Continental army, for the town of Becket. He
was a powerfully built man, "six feet two or three inches tall, dark
complexion, black hair, about thirty years of age." This we learn
from the description list of men who served in Continental army.
A visit to the office of Registrar of Probate at Pittsfield. Mass.,
disclosed the fact that May 31, 1817, on petition of the widow
Elizabeth Crane, George Conant, Esq., was appointed by the
court to settle the estate of Abel Crane of Becket. Some of the
children were minors, and Timothy Snow was appointed guardian
for Edward and Saloma. The estate was settled Sept. 7, 1819,
and after the payment of all debts, the widow was given her
portion, and the balance remaining, thirty-three dollars and fifty-

Whether this Abel was father to Abel, John and Orange Crain,

of Massachusetts, and that he was a descendant of this Benja-
min Crane. That he had brothers Abel and John, and one son
Ozias then living in Colorado.

" My grandfather was living at the commencement of the
Revolutionary war that separated the then thirteen colonies from
the government of Great Britain. At the commencement of that
war, the people were divided into two classes, — Whigs and
Tories. The Whig party were those who were opposed to the
black arts of the British Parliament ; and the Tories took
sides with the king. My grandfather was then about eighty years
old, very strong and active for a man of that age, and a warm
Whig ; and, what is very remarkable, his eight children were all
living, and heads of families. He had many grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, and not an individual, who had arrived at

the years of understanding, failed to take an active part in the
American cause. I was the eldest grandchild, and had an
ensigu's commission under King George III.*, in the year 1775.
I took a captain's commission under the Provincial Congress of
the Province of New York, and on the fourth of July following,
our Independence was declared, Clinton became our Gov-
ernor, then I received a commission from him, and held it
through the war. Such was the general conduct of the family,
which was the cause of many of them receiving both Civil and
Military commissions ; not on account of our extraordinary
abilities, but as recognition of our engagedness in that blessed
cause. I hope whoever reads the foregoing will erase the incor-
rectness as I want but sis days of being eighty-three years of
age and am almost blind."

(Signed) "John Crane."

Judge John Crane, or Capt. John as he is frequently spoken
of, was the eldest of twelve children of Zebulon and Sarah Bel-
den Crane. On March I, 1764. be married Tamar, daughter of
John and Hannah Carpenter of New Castle, Westchester Co.,
N. Y. Five years later, with his wife and two small children,
he came from New Castle to a farm of 250 acres, situated near
Lake Mahopac, where, in 1772, he built the first frame house
which was erected in this part of the country. His house was a
public inn, where the business of the town was transacted, and
town meetings were held. He held the office of justice of the
peace, and was associate judge of the court of common pleas in
Dutchess County, before the county was divided, and also of
Putuam County after it was established. The military commis-
sions are mentioned in his " Fragment of Family History." The
commission he received from Clinton is now in the posses-
sion of Benj. T. Crane, his youngest grandson, who owns and
occupies the old homestead near Mahopac.

During the Revolution, Gen. Charles Scott, with his staff, made
his headquarters for a time at John Crane's inn. The troops in
going to and from the headquarters at Salem, Westchester Co.,
and West Point, on the Hudson, passed that way, and often tar-
ried over night there. Conspicuous among them was "Capt.
Poll," a young Irish woman.

Beside being an unflinching patriot and noted for his integrity
and superior business capacity in the management of public
affairs, in his private life Judge Crane was a person of great
benevolence and kindly feeling; a firm friend and an indulgent
parent. He was medium-sized, well-proportioned, with mild blue
eyes and a dignity of manner which commanded the respect of
all with whom he came in contact.

In a letter written by a grand-nephew of his, Dr. Geo. B.
Crane of St. Helena, Cal., who died recently at the advanced age
of more than ninety years, he said: "Judge Crane came to our
house, dressed as usual ; silk stockings, and breeches, buckled

above his knees, and ending there ; silver shoe-buckles, and a
large brimmed fine fur hat. He was a gentleman of the old
school, and such fashions went out with the old men of his time."
Judge Crane and his family were all active church workers,
going on horseback, from their home near Mahopac to the old log
church, near "Tilly Foster Mines." to attend service, and later,
aiding in the erection and support of the Gilead Presbyterian
Church at Carmel. Nor did the good work die with him; he
left children and grandchildren of unusual attainments, of ster-
ling worth, and high personal character. His sons Joseph and
John were very influential men in the Gilead Church, and his
grandson Azor B. Crane was during his whole life one of the
most prominent citizens of Putnam County. In 1843, he was
appointed judge of the court of common pleas, and was the first
county judge and surrogate elected under the new constitution
of 1847. Children:

ried second Mrs. Elizabeth (Wood) Townsend. He was a sol-
dier in the Revolutionary war. The following story is told of
him : " After a skirmish with the Indians, the next day he with
a few picked men were scouting and came upon a lone Indian
two miles from camp. They took him prisoner, disarmed him,
and Crane was left to guard him ; but he let the Indian get behind
him, when the Indian clinched Crane by the hair and tried to cut
his throat with a knife he had concealed about his person. Crane

took the knife away from the Indian, and when the latter started
to run away, Crane shot the Indian with his own gun. He
returned to camp nearly dead from loss of blood, having re-
ceived a severe gash across his forehead and temples and his

he identified himself with the church and town affairs. About
1796 he removed to Skeenesborough, now Whitehall, N. Y.,

Mr. Noble removed from New Milford. Conn., Dtc. 22, 1799,
and drove to Essex (then Willsborough). Essex County. N. Y..
arriving Jan. 3, 1800, and opened a store on a limited scale.
But soon became actively engaged in the tanning of leather,
and subsequently in the manufacture of lumber and later of
iron, and through his skill and energy accumulated a hand-
some property. As a member of the State militia and a com-
missioned officer he was several times mustered into the
United States service, and took part in the war of 1812 and
was present at the battle of Plattsburgh. serving as 2d Major
of the Sih Regiment Detached Militia, 1812; Major Com-
mandant. 37th Regiment, 1813; Lt.-Col. Commandant, same
Regiment, 40th Brigade of Infantry (Gen. Daniel Wright).
Clinton and Essex Counties, N. Y. Militia, 3d Division. Maj-
Gen. Benjamin Mooers. While serving with the 8th Regiment
he was stationed, a portion of the time during the year 1812,
both at Chateuagay and St. Regis, on the Canadian frontier.
He commanded the Militia in an encounter with the British,
when they were repulsed, May 13. 1814, at the mouth of the Bo-
quet River. March 22, 1818, he was commissioned Brigadier-
General and served until 1821, when he resigned. The business
capacity displayed by Gen, Noble was quite remarkable. Com-
ing out from New Milford. Conn., into a new and unreclaimed
country, with but the trade of a shoemaker upon which to
rely for the support of his family, and with no powerful con-
nections, such as favored many of the early settlers of Essex
County, the outlook at first seemed anything but comforting
But with the keen perception of a skilful tradesman he saw-
about him priceless forests of timber, valuable mines of iron,
nature's storehouse of wealth, if he could but unlock it with
the keys of skill and personal unremitting industry. This he
proceeded to do. and through the means of the little store,
he moved on step by step, enlarging, as he went, until at one
time he could count a half-score of sawmills located on various
streams, cutting large quantities of lumber, which he brought
to Essex to be shipped to the ditt'erent markets. This indus-
try, together with his tannery and iron business, thrived and
prospered under his management, showing a business capacity
of rare quality ; and what brought as much satisfaction to his
family as all else, and made the home more fascinating and

FIFTH GENERATION. 81

enjoyable, was the fact that he who had been so bountifully
rewarded for his wise judgment and faithful application to
business, was allowed to live to an advanced age, and thereby
enjoy the fruits of his labors, and see his sons all honorable
and thorough-going business men, well established on the way
to success, in following the footsteps of their father. Gen.
Noble died at the home of his son Harmon, in Essex. June 5,
1863. His name will ever remain conspicuous among the an-
nals of the Champlain Valley. He was always interested in
public matters, although he had little time to give to political
life ; yet no worthy cause escaped his notice, and he was
always ready to assist in furthering any good work. He
was supei visor of the town of Essex 1825-1826. He was a
liberal subscriber toward the erection of both the Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian church edifices in Essex, and subse-
quently united with the latter church. Gen. Noble was a
master Mason and a member of Essex Lodge, No. 152, F. &
A. M.. and his first sign-board, now in the possession of his
grandson Henry Harmon Noble, bears the square and com-
pass, emblems of the Masonic fraternity. He was a Royal
Arch Mason, having been exalted March 28, 1811, in Jerusa-
lem Chapter, No. 2, R. A. M., Vergennes, Vt. Iu politics he
was a Federalist, later a Whig, and eventually a Republican,
and a staunch supporter of the Union during the war, as
were his sons. With a reputation for business honor and
integrity, which extended throughout the State, he was fit-
tingly described as the " foremost business man of Northern
New York." Children by first wife:

Peter and Martha (Frazier) Welch, b. in Vergenues, Vt., Ang.
31, 1823, where her grandfather Paul Welch, with Abigail
Crane, his wife, settled in 1808. It was the purpose of Gen.
Ransom Noble to give each of his children a thorough English
and business education; and from the easy manner in which
he managed enterprises of considerable magnitude, -we may
reasonably infer that he did not fail in this undertaking".
After Harmon had returned from seeking his education at
Lansingburgh (N. Y.) Academy, preparatory to assuming a
business life, he was placed in charge of the store and office
at Essex, with the books of the tirm his father had estab-
lished, and which, at this time, was conducting a very large
business. The young man at once developed an unusual
capacity for his responsible position, and the prosperity of
the tirm assumed yet larger proportions than it had previously
known. The lumbering interest, as well as the tannery and
iron industries, were conspicuously enlarged under his care-
ful and wise guidance, while the financial success of the busi-
ness was of a most flattering nature. Mr. Noble was one of
those useful persons who could turn his hands to almost any
kind of an enterprise, and through skill, integrity and close
application make a success of it. Whatever he undertook
was carried out with unflinching persistence, while all his
dealings were conducted on principles of thorough honesty
and justice. Like his father, he never sought office of any
kind, outside the State Militia. But in that department he
was prominent, Governor DeWitt Clinton granting him a
commission as Major, March 9, 1825, with rank from Dec.
11, 1824, and serving from time to time on the staff of Geu.
H. H. Ross. The death of Mr. Noble caused a severe shock
among those who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance,
for he was stricken down, amid the scenes of active business
life. Returning home from his office on the evening of May
23. 18ii4, after reading his paper he retired for the night. A
few moments later he uttered his last words to his heart-
broken wife. The breaking of an abscess in the lungs caused
his death, which occurred early in the morning of May 24.
We quote the following from a sketch of Mr. Noble written
at the time of his death by a person who knew him well ;

" During his long intercourse with his fellow citizens as
merchant no man ever had cause to doubt his honor and
probity. But his worth did not arise merely from his
capacity as a man of husiness. His kindly disposition, his
support of the church, his tenderness and kindness as a son.
parent, husband, relative and friend endeared him to all his
relatives, and won the esteem of his acquaintances. His
loss will be deeply felt in the extensive concerns in which he
was engaged, and by the community generally, and the
bereavement falls heavily upon his relatives, and doubly so
on the beloved wife and young children." Children ;

forced to relinquish his studies just before graduation at
Hobart College, Geneva, N. Y., on account of failing health;
but, continuing the study of law, was admitted to the bar of
Colorado in the summer of 1881 at Denver, where he com-
pleted his studies in the office of Symes & Foote. In April,
1882, he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of
that State. After passing the summer of 1882 in Essex, N.
Y., Mr. and Mrs. Ross returned to Denver, Col., where he
engaged in practice with his father, James B. Ross, under
the firm name of Ross & Ross, still hoping for health to come
with the change of climate. But the brilliant and talented
young lawyer was unable to throw off the disease that had
now secured a firm hold, and on the 14th of December, 1882,

Vt. He was born Jan. 10, 1754, and died Sept. 1!), 1815. She
died April 6, 1842.

Paul Welch was a lineal descendant from Thomas Welch,
Senior, an early settler at New Haven, Conn., who was also one
of the founders of Milford, Nov. 20, 1639 ; Deputy to the Gen-
eral Court of New Haven Colony for twelve sessions, from May,
1654, to May, 1664, inclusive; also Deputy to the General Court
of the Connecticut Colony 1665, after the union. The wife of
Thomas Welch was Hannah, daughter of Thomas Buckingham,
who was also one of the founders of Milford. She was born in
England in 1632. Thomas Welch, Jr., had a sou Paul, born
1696, who removed when a young man to New Milford, Litchfield
County, Conn., and became one of the original proprietors of
that place. Paul Welch, Esquire, as he was styled, was one of the
leading men in New Milford, Deputy, Justice of the Peace,
Lieutenant in the Militia, and it is stated of him in Orcutt's
"History of New Milford" that "probably there was not
another man of so much influence in the town when Rev.
Nathaniel Taylor was settled here as pastor." His epitaph says :

••In memory of Paul Welch. Esqre., one of the first princi-
pal settlers of the town, and an original proprietor of the same.
Departed this life, August 26, 1778", in the 82d year of his age.

"In his day he served the town in most offices of trust and
honor, gave good satisfaction, and died possessed of a large
estate."

Paul Welch, Jr., was born in New Milford, Jan. 9, 1759;
married Abigail Crane, and established a home in his native
town. Here^they remained until the fall of 1808, when they re-
moved to Vergennes, Vt., whither two of their children had
already taken up their residence. Mrs. Welch was one of the
twelve persons who in April, 1810, united with the Congre-
gational Church of Vergennes ; and at the time of her decease,
was the oldest person in the church, being then 86 years of age.
Sept. 15, 1815, Mr. Welch died. She died April 6, 1842. It is
recorded of her (as also of her sister Sarah [Crane] Noble) :
"She was a mother in the broadest, truest sense, with a nature
so kind and true as to command the admiration and respect of
everyone who came in contact with her." Children :

of Mansfield, Conn., born Jan. 1, 1752, and who came to Put-
nam County, N. Y., when a young child with her parents. The
beginning of the Revolutionary war found Mr. Crane ensign in
a company of minute-men, and he continued in service through-
out the period of seven years. March 1, 177b', he was ensign in
5th South East company, Capt. Joshua Barnum, Jr., Col. Jacobus
Swartwout, 2d regiment. He was at the battle of Ridgefield,
April, 1777; also the engagement at Ward's House, near White
Plains. Mr. Crane was frequently employed in carrying mes-
sages to General Washington while located at the Highlands. His
widow received a pension. He was a farmer, and spent his life
on the farm he purchased from the State, it having been con-
fiscated as the property of a tory. It was located in the southerly
portion of the town of South East, and known as '• Crane's
Ridge," about three miles southeast from Brewster. He died
Aug. 27, 1834. She died May 14, 1839. Children:

geon 3d regiment, Dutchess County, N. Y., active service* May
31 to June 1 1 , 1779, June 26 to June 30, 1780, latter time on staff
of Col. John Field's regiment, Dutchess County Militia. In the
proceedings of Provincial Congress we find that Sept. 17, 1776,
ordered that Messrs. Duane, Duer, Schenckand Doctor Crane be a
committee to inquire into the situation of the Light Horsemen and
Lieut. Onderdonk and report thereon A portion of the time he
was stationed on Long Island, where he married Kosanna Cock,
Aug. 6, 1775. She was born 1756. He married "2d, Feb. 14,
1798, Aner Leggitt, daughter of Capt. Hackaliah Brown of
Somers, Winchester County, N. Y., and settled at South East.
He was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Dutchess and
Putnam Counties. He inherited his father's library, the family
records and coat of arms. He died Nov. 21, 1825.

Dr. Joseph Crane, Jr., was Assistant Surgeon militia and ad-
ditional officer in New York troops. He was Surgeon in 3d
regt. of Dutchess County, which was in active service May 31
to June 17, 1779, and June 26 to June 30, 1780, his brother
Solomon being Adjutant of this regiment at the same time, it
having been called out on a general alarm to repel the enemy.
He was a member of the Provincial Congress of the Province of
New York in 1776, and member of the Assembly 1778, 1779 and
1796. His home was about two miles east of Brewster, it being
the place now (1898) owned by Mr. George Sears. There has
been more or less confusion in reports from various members of
the family as to honors enjoyed by Joseph Crane, and it has
been no light task to know just where to place them. It must
be remembered that there were three Joseph Cranes, father, son
and grandson. No doubt all three performed well their part
during the trials connected with the stand for national inde-
pendence. Joseph, senior, died Aug. 20, 1781 ; so it is fair to
presume that his son and grandson were most active during the
war. They were both doctors, which perhaps adds to the con-
fusion. It would seem that possibly the eldest Dr. Joseph Crane
would have been the one chosen to attend the Provincial Con-
gress, he being then fifty-four years of age, while his son Dr.
Crane, Jr., was but twenty-seven. But as descendants of the
family place this honor to the young Doctor, there may be no
good reason for changing it.

of Zebulon. Mrs. Barnes says this Esther Crane married her
cousin, Samuel Crane, brother of Elijah, and was father to Rev.
Samuel R. Crane of Milton, Vt.* Rev. Samuel R. Crane was a
resident of Milton, Vt., perhaps a farmer. In 1833 he became
a candidate for holy orders, and was ordained deacou by Bishop
Hopkins, in Burlington, Vt., May 28, 1834. He officiated at first
in Highgate, Sheldon and Fairfax to 1835 ; ordained priest May
27, 1835, by Bishop Hopkins at Bellows Falls. From Nov.,
1835, to Nov., 1836, was in charge of the church at Middlebury,
but was, on account of ill health, obliged to resign, and dis-
missed to the diocese of Ohio. He is said to have died previous
to 1840, and buried in the village cemetery at Milton Falls, Vt.
He went to Vermont from Connecticut, his aged mother with
him. She was alive Jan. 25, 1829; had shock of paralysis in
the fall of 1828. Rev. S. R. Crane had a daughter 10 days old
Jan. 25, 1829. He travelled (so he wrote in" his letter) 1000
miles to find a good place to remove to from Connecticut. His
Connecticut friends at that time rather ridiculed Vermont as a
country to live in; think he went from near New Haven, Conn.,
to Vermont. Children :

Mills, Scantic Parish, Conn. In the year 1849 he removed to

knit goods. At first it was conducted on a small scale. But
with steadily increasing business he in 1857 took as a partner
Mr. Samuel Waters, the style of the firm being Crane & Waters.
One year later Mr. Horace Waters succeeded to the interest of
Samuel Waters, and a large and prosperous business was carried
on for many years. It was practically the introduction of the
manufacture of knit underwear in this part of the country. Mr.
Crane was chosen a director of the Millbury Bank in 1856, and
president in 1863, which position he long held. He was also
first vice-president of the Millbury Savings Bank. Mr. Crane
was a man of strict integrity ; and the confidence in which he was
held by his fellow-townsmen is shown by the numerous offices of
trust and responsibility to which he was called. He was once
elected State senator, twice a representative, several times a
member of the board of selectmen, and often chosen to other
offices of trust and responsibility. He died April 5, 1879. She
died April 10, 1883, aged 78 years, 7 months, 25 days.

Commodore Homicr Crane Blake [5J, was born in Dutchess
County, N. Y. When about a year old his parents removed
to Ohio, and settled on what was called the Western Reserve,
where Homer passed his boyhood days. At the age of
eighteen he entered the United States Navy as a midship-
man Date of the appointment being March 2, 1840. He
was soon assigned to duty on board the Constellation frigate,
which set sail for a voyage lasting over three years, and en-
circling the globe. During this trip, while the Constellation
was anchored off Canton, China, Blake was assigned the
hazardous task of maintaining communication between the
vessel and Canton, which he successfully accomplished in an
open boat with but twelve men, at a time, too, when in China
an Englishman's head was worth one thousand dollars, and it
was not an easy matter to distinguish between the head of an
American and an Englishman. After reaching home in 1844
and spending a short furlough visiting relatives and friends,
he was ordered to join the sloop-of-war Preble and served a
year on the coast of Africa suppressing the slave trade. Re-
turning to the United States he entered the Naval Academy,
at Annapolis. From here he graduated in 1846 as passed mid-
shipman. As war with Mexico seemed inevitable, Blake ap-
plied for active service and was attached to his old vessel, the
sloop-of-war Preble, and sent to the coast of California. In
1848 the Preble was ordered to the East Indies. On reaching
Canton, China, Blake was so ill as to be unlit for duty, and
permitted to return home for the purpose of recovering his
health. For a short period he was engaged on shore in the
coast survey. In 1850, he again appears bound for the
Pacific on board the frigate Raritan, but was transferred
from this vessel lo the sloop-of-war St. Mary's and proceeded
to the China Seas and home by the Cape of Good Hope, thus
making in about nine years three voyages around the world.
In 1856, he again joined the Raritan frigate and repaired to
the coast of Brazil. Returning to the United States in 1857,
he was employed for a time on shore, and again sent to the
coast of Africa to return the following year. With the
breaking out of our Civil War, Blake applied for active duty,
for the purpose of defending the flag that had been his pro-
tection in almost every prominent harbor of the world.
He was ordered to the Sabine and employed on the coast of
South Carolina, but when this vessel was assigned to recruit-
ing duty he asked to be detached from her and given a place
nearer the post of danger. He was then assigned to com-
mand the R. R. Cwjler ; soon, however, transferred to the
command of the Hatteras. She was originally built as a pas-
senger boat to run between New Orleans aud Galveston, but
suddenly transformed into a substitute man-of-war by the
help of a few pine plank to strengthen her decks, that they
might support the few small guns she was chosen to carry,
and removing her after cabin. Thus equipped she was of
suitable strength to perform ordinary blockading duty, to
which service she was assigned off Galveston, Texas, Com-
mander Blake having been sent there from New Orleans
with the Hatteras aud a few other vessels to attempt the re-
taking of that place, arriving Jan. 10, 1863.

152 CRASE GENEALOGY.

About 3 P. M. the following day a strange vessel appeared
off the port. Supposing it to be a blockade-runner the Hat-
teras was signaled to give chase, and Commander Blake was
soon in pursuit. The stranger proved to be no less than the
Confederate steamer Alabama, Capt. Semmes in command.
The Hatteras was no even match for the Alabama, not being
able to hurl in a single broadside one-quarter the weight in
metal that the latter could, and Blake found himself in a posi-
tionwhere he must either attempt to run awav or tight. He
chose the latter, and gave the order to clear the Hatteras for
action, resolving at the same moment to bring the vessels
into close quarter, if possible, and attempt to carry his foe
by boarding. As the Hatteras steamed on for the encounter,
the Alabama was lying to, broadside on, waiting for the
struggle soon to come. With the discharge of a broadside
from the Alabama the battle was begun. Every nerve on
both vessels was strained to the utmost tensiou. The
superior speed of the Alabama enabled Semmes to thwart all
attempts made for boarding by Commodore Blake, although
the vessels were within thirty yards of each other. For
twenty minutes the frail Hatteras was exposed to the tre-
mendous pounding of shot and shell, the latter starting a
lire, which was raging fiercely and rapidly working towards
the magazine, which was composed above the water line of
light pine plank. The men at the magazine remained at
their post as long as powder could be passed up without ex-
ploding. The flames had reached the two-inch plank parti-
tion separating it from the magazine and the vessel was fast
sinking, but not a man flinched nor left hisgun. The Hatteras
was so torn and disabled that not one of her guns could now
be brought to bear on the Alabama, and Blake feeling he had
no right to sacrifice uselessly the brave men under his com-
mand, reluctantly gave orders to fire a lee-gun in token of
surrender. With the aid of the boats from both vessels the
men of the Hatteras were soon placed on board the Alabama,
and within ten minutes the Hatteras went to the bottom of
the ocean with her pennant still flying at the masthead,
Semmes gaining a fruitless victory. The Alabama was
severely damaged by the encounter and at once proceeded to
Kingston, in Jamaica, where she remained thirteen days for
repairs, which cost eighty-six thousand dollars in gold.
Commander Blake and his crew in due time reached New
York via Key West. These men, who fought under Blake,
held him in such high esteem that they petitioned the Navy
Department to give their commander the steamer Eutaic.
and that they might be allowed to join him in a cruise for
the Alabama, believing they could either sink or capture that
formidable enemy. The Eutaw was given Blake, but he was
stationed at the James River, where he rendered valuable
service. In the latter part of 1803 a desperate movement
was announced soon to take place on the side of the Con-
federates. Jan. 24, 18G4, the attempt was made, and had not
the two rebel rams got aground the result might have been
much more disastrous, for the Union Naval Commander in-
stead of protecting his defences from the attack of the Con-
federate fleet under command of Semmes, who had been
working down the James River, retired and thus allowed the
channel to be opened. The night following, at high water,
the second attempt was to be made. Commander Blake had
been stationed on the east side, at Deep Bottom, to protect

the right of the Army of the James. On the morning of
the twenty-flflh, the commander of the naval division having
been removed for his conduct the previous day, Blake was
placed in command of the ironclad fleet, torpedo and picket
boats. On going on board the Onondaga he found her port
propeller disabled; yet, with her in this condition and only a
few small gunboats, he was able to contend with the Con-
federate fleet and caused it to retreat back to Richmond.
A false step or a moment's hesitation at that time would have
endangered the safety of the Union armies. Against the
advice of nearly all the officers, he got the Onondaga, with
the assistance of tugs, close to the obstructions, and direct-
ly under the tire of the Confederate batteries, and in such a
position that if she was sunk, either by the rams or torpedo
boats, as he expected, she would take the place of the re-
moved obstructions. This action prevented a second at-
tempt, as he was afterward informed by one of the oflicers
who was then attached to the Confederate fleet. Admiral
Porter wrote Blake, " Had your predecessor done as well,
we should now be in possession of the entire rebel navy and
on our way to Richmond."

Blake was coutinued in command of the ironclads and
naval picket line, and took part in the engagement which
caused the fall of Richmond. In 1867 he was head of the
Bureau of Navigation, at Portsmouth. N. H. But the order
soon came to proceed again to the Chinese waters. This
time under the fighting Admiral John Rogers. Capt. Blake
was sent up the Han River, in Korea, in command of an ex-
pedition to punish the Koreans for a treacherous attack
upon an American force sent to inquire into the loss of the
crew of the schooner General Sherman in August, 1800, and
to arrange for a treaty between the United States and Korea.
Although this sudden attack was planned by the Koreans with
the iuteniion of annihilating the Americans, it resulted in
comparatively little damage. Admiral Rogers gave them ten
clays in which to make an apology. None came, and the expedi-
tion, with 759 men in all, under Capt. Blake, was dispatched
to punish the treacherous Koreans. June 10, 1(568, the men
landed and with the help of the gunboats Monocacy and Col-
orado captured the first fort. The following day the men pro-
ceeded on up the heights capturing the second line of fortili-
cations. But the third and main fortification, located on a
high rocky hill, garrisoned by a vastly superior force in num-
bers, was yet to be taken. It was a severe and hazardous
undertaking. Many of the Americans were overcome with
heat. But the word was given, and up our men climbed the
steep hill in the face of deadly missiles, and made a desperate
hand-to-band encounter, with this result : about 350 Koreans
were killed and 20 taken prisoners. The Americans had
three men killed and ten wounded. Five forts, with fifty
flags, and a considerable number of large and small guns
were captured during the two days.

His extended service along the coast of China and ex-
posure to the malaria of that region completely shattered
his constitution, and for some years after his return home
he suffered severely in bodily health. He died at his home
in New York City, Jan. 27, 1.880, at the age of 5fi years, just
after receiving his well-earned commission as Commodore
in the United States Navy. He was a warm-hearted, cour-
teous, considerate, Christiau gentleman. When he was on

his way to Galveston, Texas, just prior to the engagement
with the Alabama, in a private letter, written to a friend, he
said : " I have much to live for, but I could not be happy to
purchase my life with any neglect of the duty I owe to my
country. I shall not seek danger ; but if it comes I shall take
it in the line of my duty, and endeavor to do credit to myself,
family and State." Several officers of the United States
Navy, who have rendered signal service to their country
during the late war with Spain, served under Blake in that
memorable Korean expedition. Among them, Commodores
J. C. Watson, W. S. Schley, Rear- Admiral L. A. Kimberly,
Captain C. M. Chester, and Commander Albion V. Wadhams,
all of whom speak in the highest terms that he was an officer
of great ability, ceaseless energy, indomitable courage and
an excellent seaman.

He married Mary, daughter of Judge James Flanagan.

Past Grand and Past Chief Patriarch Samuel R. Crane, which
occurred at his residence on Walnut Street last Sunday. His
health has been failing for more than a year, but he was confined
to his bed only a few days. He had reached the good old age of
74 years and 11 months. Mr. Crane leaves a wife, one daugh-
ter and three sons, who deeply mourn their loss, for he was loved
and respected by all who knew him as a considerate neighbor,

168 CEASE GENEALOGY.

Young, of blessed memory, and soon after joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church, in which communion he remained until his
death. He held the office of Class Leader from the period of
his first introduction into the Church until his infirmities pre-
vented him from farther engaging in the active duties of the
position. He also acted as Superintendent of the Sabbath
School for a great portion of the time ; and all that appertained
to his official position was always well and faithfully done. In
all the relations of life, Mr. Crane was ever respected and
esteemed. As a neighbor he was kind and obliging; as a friend
true as the needle to the pole; as a citizen loval and patriotic.
But it was in his own family and in the Church of Christ
where his many excellent qualities shone forth most conspicu-
ously. To the loving, devoted husband and the watchful ami
affectionate father, he joined the character of the humble, self-
denying, earnest, working Christian. To toil in the vineyard of
his Master was to him a labor of love. In this regard he seemed
to count all else but loss so that ' he might attain unto the excel-
lency of the knowledge which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.'
Brother Crane not only adorned his profession in the way we have
just indicated, but he was likewise equally ready to contribute of
his money, generously too, to support the good cause he loved so
well. His house was always open, and no man ever came to it
hungry, but that he fed him ; thirsty, but that he gave him drink ;
naked, and he clothed him ; sick, and he ministered unto him.
Thus in his charities he seemed to be actuated by the principle,
that ' inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these,
my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' Mr. Crane, too, was a
man of more than ordinary intellect, well posted on all the prom-
inent topics of the day, and his opinions in relation to them
were always characterized with intelligence and good sense. He
was likewise one of the most genial and pleasant companions with
whom to converse that can be found in any community, and this
particular element in his constitutional make-up caused his society
to be eagerly sought both by young and old. Mr. Crane was
also a very successful farmer and left a fine estate to be inherited
by his widow and children. One other thing we must not forget
to mention, and that is the fortitude, resignation and cheerful-
ness, which he exhibited all through his protracted and painful
illness. No words of complaint or murmuring ever escaped
him. In fact, he would not unfrequently raise the spirits of his
own family and friends by perpetrating some little pleasantry, or
by throwing into the conversation a spicy remark, which would
serve to drive away all gloom and melancholy. Indeed, it is our
opinion that this cheerfulness and the stir and ambition with
which he was naturally endowed, added months if not vears to
his life."

Hezekiah.4 John.3 Jonathan, 2 Benjamin1), married Oct. 16,
1838, at Easton, Pa., Mary Elizabeth Howell. She was born
there Sept. 18, 1820, and there they established their home. She
died May 20. 1845. He was born at East Windsor, Hartford
County, Conn., on an old manor that had been handed down
from father to son for generations before the Revolution. In
that dark and desperate struggle his grandfather, David Crane,
did good service under the immediate command of Gen.
Washington.

The home training of young Crane was in the strict Puritan
style. His school days did not differ materially from those of
other boys similarly situated : attended the common school, where
he paid his own way. Receiving a certificate of qualification
to teach the common English branches, he soon began teaching
in Vernon, Conn. ; in a short time however he accepted an
invitation from his uncle, Dr. John W. Crane, a practicing physi-
cian of Hartford, to commence the study of medicine and dental
surgery in his office. After thoroughly preparing himself, he
opened an office in Easton. Pa., where he conducted a successful
business for 22 years.

In October, 1854, he emigrated to Kansas, and settled on the
present site of Topeka. As a member of the town company he
took an active part in everything that pertained to the upbuilding
of the city. Town lots were donated to all who would erect
houses and live on the town site, and also to churches and socie-
ties of all kinds that were ready to take advantage of the generous
offer. Dr. Crane was appointed to the difficult task of making
selections for incomers, societies and churches. Many persons
are still living in Topeka who remember with what zeal he pointed
out the advantages of this or that particular locality. His lan-
guage on such occasions proved prophetic in many instances.

He was active in the formation of the Kansas Free State party.
In 1857 the St. Joseph & Topeka Railroad Company was
organized, and he was chosen treasurer. Little actual work was
ever done on this route, although he expended much time and
money in making it a living institution by securing the payment
of 10 per cent, of capital stock. This planning and managing

finally resulted in the construction of the Atchison, Topeka ii
Santa Fe Railroad.

In 1859, there being no permanent place in Topeka for the
interment of the dead, and having failed in several efforts to
organize a cemetery company, Dr. Crane made the venture at his
own expense, and laid out, in a very tasty and artistic manner, a
large plot of ground about a mile east of the city. For this act
of generosity, if for nothing else, he will ever be remembered
kindly by the citizens of Topeka. In the same year he became
mayor of the city, on the death of the mayor-elect, by virtue of
his office of president of the city council. This was just at the
time when the permanent location of the State capital by a direct
vote of the people was being agitated. Mainly through the wish
and prompt action of the acting mayor and city council Topeka
was made the permanent seat of government at that election. The
first bridge over the Kansas River was built in 1857-8, largely
through his influence and exertions. This bridge was swept away
by a freshet .July 19, 1858, and was replaced by a temporary
pontoon, that served the purpose until the present iron structure
was erected by Mortimer Cook. Dr. Crane and others.

On the breaking out of the rebellion he and two of his sons
enlisted for the war. His knowledge of medicine, kindness of
heart and generosity peculiarly fitted him to take care of the sick,
and he was made a hospital steward, and on several occasions
established and conducted general hospitals by order of the medi-
cal directory. This branch of service was in accord with his
sympathetic nature, and he was enabled to make it a perfect
success.

On his return from the camp he was chosen president of the
board of education. Under his administration several large
school-houses were erected, among them the Lincoln School
building. He has ever been liberal and foremost in advocating
the interests of education, assisting all societies and efforts in
every move to harmonize and liberalize society. From the rigid
church discipline under which he was reared he gradually became
more liberal in his views, until he found himself a willing and
confirmed disciple of ancient and modern Spiritualism, and in all
his relations with his fellows he carried into his daily practice the
firm belief that there is ever by his side an immortal spirit that
is cognizant of his every act, whether good or evil ; one that
mourns over his wrong doings and rejoices in every good deed,
and under certain conditions is able, as in the old biblical times,
to make its presence manifest by words and signs, and to give
admonition of coming events.* He died Nov. I'l. 18*4, at the
home of his eldest son in Carthage. New Mexico, whither he had
gone for a visit. Funeral services were at Topeka, Kan. Chil

The material from which the following sketches were drawn
was furnished the compiler after the family record had been
arranged.

[See opposite page, No. 2746.]

Carso Crane8 married Electa L. Glidden. He served in
the late war. Enlisted as a private from Jones County, Iowa,
in July, 1861, elected 2d Lieutenant, ordered into camp at
Dubuque, and mustered into the United States service Sept.
2, in Co. D, 9th Regt. Iowa Infantry. Then proceeded via.
St. Louis, Mo., to Pacific City, and with Gen. Curtis in com-
mand, the army of the South West started after the enemy under
General Price, came up with the rear of the enemy before reach-
ing Springfield, but could not bring on an engagement until Price
had formed a junction with Van Dorn, when with a force of
35,000 they turned upon Curtis with his 10,000 men. In a
skirmish at Nubben Ridge the casualties were light, but at Pea
Ridge, where they fought March 6 and 7, 1861, the company of
which he was then in command went into the engagement with
55 men, had 2 killed. 2 taken prisoners, and 29 wounded. Com-
pany C. having lost its officers, was attached to Mr. Crane's
company on the afternoon of the 6th, and continued there
throughout that action. Afterwards they marched through
Arkansas to Helena, in August; remained there until December;
made an attack on Chickasaw Bayou and were repulsed ; returned
to Arkansas and captured Arkansas Post; returned to Vicksburg
and worked in the famous cut-off canal. Here Mr. Crane be-
came prostrated by the effects of a sunstroke in connection with
chronic diarrhoea and resigned in March, 1863, on a surgeon's
certificate. He was made 1st Lieutenant in September, 1862,
and Captain in February, 1863. While in camp at Helena, he
served several months on the staff of Gen. Vandevers. Now
(1899) resides in Anamosa, Iowa. Children:

••Dr. George Belden Crane was born July 31, 1806, in the
State of New York, Dutchess County, now Putnam, and died
Monday, May 9, 1898. His first school-days were spent in a
little shanty near his father's sawmill on the Croton river. Like
other boys in those days, he worked on the farm in the summer
and went to school in the winter. When sixteen years old he
secured a certificate and commenced teaching school, receiving
therefor about §12 per month and board. Four years later he
entered the medical department of the State University in New
York City, graduating in 1832. He soon turned his face west-
ward, travelling from Albany to Schenectady on the first passen-
ger railroad in the United States. He continued his journev on

a canal-boat to Buffalo, and by steamer from there to Cleveland.
Obio, thence to the Great Scioto river. Here he settled and
practiced medicine for nearly five years, marrying, meantime,
Maria, eldest daughter of Dan Young, a pioneer from New
Hampshire. The health of his wife demanding a change of
climate, he in 1836 removed to Northern Alabama, where he
continued the practice of his profession until he found his consti-
tution was beina: undermined by hard labor in what was then not
only a hot but a malarious section. From here he went to Pike
county, Missouri, a place made conspicuous by California emi-
gration. It was here that in 1343 he had, unsolicited, the honor
of being one of two or three physicians of that State on whom
the medical department of the University of Missouri conferred the
honorary degree of M. D. In January, 1853, Dr. Crane, with
family, started by sailing vessel for California via the Horn. On
the 3rd of May. 1853. he left San Francisco by steamer for Alviso.
aud thence to San Jose by stage. Here he lived and prospered for
four- years, when the continued ill health of his wife, caused him
to relinquish charge of the city and county hospital and a large
private practice and remove to Napa. Having studied viticulture
as followed in France and Germany, and comparing the soil of
this valley with that of other countries, he decided to engage in
that industry and at once purchased nearly 400 acres of land
near the little hamlet of St. Helena, paying therefor an average
of between §6 and -S7 per acre. He procured Mission cuttings
from San Jose, there being no foreign ones in the country, and
planted about twelve acres in February, 1859, a portion of which
grew well. The planting was continued, and in ten years he
possessed a vineyard of one hundred acres. He encountered all
the vicissitudes usual to pioneers in any movement, but ultimately
achieved success. It was not long after his acres of wilderness
had been converted into a fruitful and beautiful home that his
first wife died, and in 187i> he married the widow of A.J. Gray-
son, the ornithologist who lost his life while painting the ornith-
ology of Central America. The doctor saw the little hamlet of
redwood shanties near his home grow to a substantial and thrifty
town with comfortable homes established so close together that
stations along the line of railroad had to be placed a mile or two
apart for the convenience of residents. For many years deceased
lived quietly, always extending a hearty welcome to the visitor
who crossed the threshold of his hospitable home. He passed
considerable time in reading and writing. His articles for the
press were many, and he was always pleased when new thoughts
were brought out. In 1885. when 79 years old. he wrote his life
history, together with incidents, experiences and comments on a
variety of topics. This he caused to be published for distribution
among his relatives and friends. And now that its author has
gone, we quote from its pages a few of his thoughts on death :
•But whv regard the dav of death as an "evil dav"? It is an

event as natural as that of our birth. Our birth was for a pur-
pose. We are compelled to believe, from an analogical reason-
ing, that there is a purpose in so called death. The apparent
difference between birth and death is not real. The first is to
people earth with rudimental intelligences, the next to translate
those intelligences to a higher sphere of existence. Progress is
the rule of nature.' What better can be said of him than that
the ninety-two years of his earthly existence were spent in well-
directed efforts for the benefit of mankind ! He possessed a
noble character, was a kind friend and a good citizen.

four sons and a daughter, who together with their
children number Ave grandchildren and six great-grand-
children that Dr. Crane left at his decease.

Judge Addison Moses Crane was born in Litchfield, Herki-
mer County, N. Y., July 2, 1814. He served at Buffalo, N.
Y., in the Navy Island rebellion during the months of June
and September, 1838. He married in Catskill, Greene County,
Oct. 21, 1839, Gertrude Ashley, who was born at Catskill, June
20, 1820. They settled at Nunda, Livingston County, where
their two eldest children were born. About 1844 he removed to
La Fayette, Ind., where he served as judge from 1848 to 1852.
In 1853 he removed to California, making the trip around Cape
Horn, and settled in Alameda County. Here he purchased twelve
acres of land, extending from Buena Vista avenue back to the
Canal and from Oak to Walnut streets, in Oakland, where he lived.
He was the first judge for Alameda County, 1853 to 1857, and
represented Alameda County in the State Senate, 1862 and 1863,
and was also a railroad commissioner. His death occurred Oct.
20, 1887, and the following memorial so plainly shows with what
high esteem he was held by those who knew him best, that we
cannot refrain from printing it in full :

" In Memoriam.
To the Hon. Superior Court of Alameda Co., Cal.

The committee heretofore appointed by this court to draft
suitable resolutions respecting the death of the late Addison M.
Crane report the following Preamble and Resolutions :

Whereas, We having learned with sincere regret of the death

Wliereas, We, as members of the Bar, have known him long
and intimately, as well in private and social life, as in the worry-
ing and harassing duties of his profession — ever finding him a

236 CRANE GENEALOGY.

conscientious, upright and faithful lawyer, an impartial and wise
Judge, and an honest man, distinguished alike for his gentleness
of manner and kindness of disposition, and in all the relations
of life for strict fidelity and integrity — faithful and capable in
the discharge of the duties devolving upon him as a lawyer and a
Judge, truthful and trustworthy as a man, reliable and able in
the discharge of the duties devolving upon him in the many
official positions held by him — his character was always above
reproach, without stain, and without blemish. Therefore,

Resolved. That in the death of Hon. Addison M. Crane society
has lost a useful citizen and an influential man, and the Bar a
faithful, capable and earnest member, and the County and State
an old and respected citizen.

Resolved, That we tender to his surviving widow, his family
and friends our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the
familv of the deceased, and also spread upon the minutes of this
Court.

JOHN CRANE, OF COVENTRY, CONNECTICUT,
AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

Mr. William L. Weaver, then editor of the Willimanttc
Journal, began Oct. 10, 1862, to publish in that paper data
relating to the history of Windham County, Conn., and gave
considerable attention to genealogies of the families that were
early settlers there. Among them were some of the descend-
ants of Jonathan Crane, of Windham, and John Crane, of
Coveutry. For reasons best known to himself, the publication of
the history was abandoned, although the publication of the geneal-
ogies was continued in the Journal for some time : and the
following is copied from that paper, issued under date of Oct. 20,
1864, and from the pen of Mr. Weaver: —

"•John Crane, an early settler of Coventry, was the common
ancestor of the Mansfield Cranes. We have made considerable
effort to trace his ancestry, and to connect him with some of the
early Crane families in New England ; but without success. He
was certainly one of the very early settlers of Coventry, where
he was living in 1708, where he had land deeded to him. He was
not a descendant from Jonathan, of Windham, and we cannot
find that he was the son of either of the brothers of Jonathan, of
Wethersfield ; but we strongly suspect there was a connection
between the families. The fact that John Crane, of Windham,
settled in Coventry while John Crane, the Coventry settler, was
living there ; the similar family names and traditions among some
branches of the Cranes, lend color to the suspicion. The early
settlers of Coventry were mostly from the towns of the Connecti-
cut River valley, including some families from Wethersfield; and
we consider it not at all impossible that John Crane, the Coventry
settler, was a son of the Wethersfield Cranes, though no record
of his birth has been found there. John Crane was one of the
accepted inhabitants of Coventry in 1730, when the first list of
17

242 CRANE GENEALOGY.

freemen was made ; and, of course, a resident of the town at that
time. He subsequently removed to Mansfield, but at what time
is not ascertained. It is supposed that he lived near the
Willimautic River, and that his removal to Mansfield was only
across the stream, the dividing line between the towns. Descend-
ants say he was buried in the Willimantic burying-grouud above
Eagleville, in Mansfield. We have not ascertained in regard to
the church relations of John Crane ; but from what we have been
able to gather, judge that both he and his wife were pious and
respectable people in comfortable circumstances. He is called
Mr. in the Mansfield records, — then a special mark of respect.

John Crane's will names his " wife Abigail ; children, Hezekiah,
Ebenezer, John ; three grandchildren of my daughter Abigail
Barrows ; daughter Mary Allen, wife of Samuel ; and children
of my daughter Ruth Paddock, deceased." Mrs. Crane also
names the same children in her will. After careful investigation,
with records of the various lines in view, the suspicion still
remains, with accumulated strength, even bordering on belief,
that John Crane, of Coventry, was a descendant of Benjamin,
senior, of Wethersfield. From the birth of this John, of Coventry,
in 1689 or 1690, to his death, in 1765, there were no less than
seven John Cranes living within a radius of twenty-five or thirty
miles from Wethersfield : John, son of Benjamin, b. 1663 ; John,
son of Jonathan, b. 1687; John, son of Abraham, b. 1700;
John, son of John of Jonathan, b. 1709 ; John, son of John of
Coventry, b. 1716; John, son of John of Abraham, b. 1739;
and John, son of John, of Coventry, b. 1743. It is, there-
fore, apparent that John was a popular name with the Crane
family at that time, and great care has been exercised in
arranging their children in their proper lines.

The question arises : If this John was grandson of Benjamin,
senior, of Wethersfield, whose son was he? Most likely he was
son of John, who went among the first settlers to Windham with
his brother Jonathan. He is reported as having been by trade
a blacksmith, and the record fixes his death Oct. 21, 1694, at the
age of 31 years. He married Abigail Butler, by whom he had
one child, Josiah. b. March 22, 1694. This marriage with
Abigail Butler took place Oct. 27, 1692, he being then twenty-nine
years and six months old. With the laws of the colony encour-
aging, and almost compelling, early marriages, it is not unlikely
that this was his second marriage, and that, while in Windham.

DESCENDANTS OP JOHN CRANE. 243

by a former wife, who had died, he had a son .John. If not why
did he not fotlow the custom and name Abigail's child John? Of
course, this is theory; no records have been found to confirm
beyond doubt the position here taken. He may have been the
son of Jacob, but that is rather doubtful.

John Crane, supposed to be this ancestor of the Mansfield
Cranes, purchased land of Samuel Burnham, of Windsor Conn
in 1708, which he sold in 1711 to Benjamin Jones. He then
purchased home lot No. 68.

Rev. Jonathan Crane, for forty years a minister at Middletown,
N. T., who gave much time to investigating the history of his
immediate family, entertained the same opinion, that this John, of
Coventry, was grandson of Benjamin, of Wethersfield.

FIRST GENERATION.

From Records of Coven-try, Conn., Mostly Obtained From

Manuscripts of Mr. Wm. L. Weaver, by

E. B. Crane in 1879.

1. John Crane was one of the early settlers of Coventry,
Conn., born 1689 or 1690, married Abigail Cross, Oct. 29, 1712,
she was daughter of Peter Cross of Mansfield, and Mary, his wife.
She was born in Windham, -fane 23, 169-1. October, 1743, John
Crane of Mansfield, and Wm. Williams with others asked the
Assembly to fix site for Second Society Meeting-house. John
Crane's will is dated May 31, 176-1, proved March 16, 1765,
probated March 19, 1765. (Invo. £146-17-6). Will men-
tions wife Abigail, children Hezekiah, Ebenezer, John, and Mary
Allen, three grandchildren of his daughter Abigail Barrows, and
three grandchildren of daughter Ruth Paddock. Mrs. Crane's
will was dated July 6, 1765, proved Sept. 25, 1765, probated Oct.,
1765. He died in Mansfield, March 1, 1765, aged 75. She
died Sept. 1, 1765, aged 71.

In what has been known as the Gurley burial-ground, situated
about a mile and a half northwest from the meeting-house in
North Mansfield, John Crane and his wife Abigail were buried,
and their grave-stones were standing in 1868, bearing the follow-
ing inscriptions: "In memory of Mr. John Craine who died

March ye 1765 in ye 76 year of his age," " In memory of

Mrs Abigail ye wife of Mr. John Craine, who died Sept y*

1765, in ye year of her age." Children :

23. Ebenezer Crane2 [5], (John '), married Sarah, daugh-
ter of Jonathan Curtis, June 21, 1744. Settled first in Mans-
field, Conn., but was of Lebanon in 1765, when in April of that
year he declined to act with his brother Hezekiah as one of the
executors of his father's will. He could not have long been a
resident of Lebanon, for he was of Mansfield in 1762 and again
in 1770. It is supposed the family removed from the town, as
no records of his descendants are to be found at Mansfield
where his children were born. It appears that he was twice
married, for his grandson Edmund Franklin Craine, says he
married a Welsh lady by name of Mary Neff . Children :

died March 15, 1771. He died Jan. 8, 1795, aged 68. Mr.
Crane lived and died in Mansfield, Conn. ; he was executor of
his father's will, and it is supposed from the records that he lived
on the Crane homestead, and that his father and mother spent
their last days with him. Children:

JASPER CRANE OF NEW HAVEN, CONN., ALSO,
NEWARK, N. J., AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

FIRST GENERATION.

1. Jasper Crane1 was one of the original settlers of the New
Haven Colony, June 4, 1639, and signed the first agreement at a
general meeting of all the free planters held in Mr. Newman's
barn. He took the oath of fidelity at the organization of the
government, with Campfield, Pennington, Gov. Eaton and others.
In 1 644 he was "freed from watching and trayning in his own
person because of his weakness, but to find one for his turn."
Was a member (with Treat) of the General Court, and many
years a magistrate. Was interested in a bog-ore furnace at East
Haven in 1651. He removed to Branford in 1652. He was
elected a magistrate in 1658, and held the office of deputy for
some years previous to that date.

In a note-book kept by Thomas Lechford, Esq., a lawyer in
Boston, Massachusetts Bay, from June 27, 1638, to July 29,
1641, we find the following: "Samuel Searle of Quinapease
Planter in behalfe of Jasper Crane of the same Agent or Attorney
for Mr. Roe Citizen of London Demiseth unto" Henry Dawson
and John Search of the Same one house and house lottTand three
acres of land lying in Boston wherein William Herricke now
dwelleth from 29 Sept. next for five years four pounds ten
shillings rent half yearly, to fence to the value four pounds ten
shillings, to repaire 21-6-1640."

This transaction, showing his connection with a gentleman of
London, England, would lead one to think that he certainly was
known there, and might have lived there. Whether or not the
above record furnished the foundation for the tradition that he
came from London to America, we do not know. But such a
tradition has been cherished by some of his descendants. Ex-
tensive research among the record offices in London has thus far
failed however of finding any trace of him there. It is also said
that he came over from England with Winthrop in the ship
Arbella.

But the date of Jasper Crane's birth, or the place in which he
was born, have not been fixed. Whether he came from parents
occupying high or middle stations in life can as yet only be
determined by the records revealed to us. He assuredly was one
of the staunch and active men among the first settlers of the
New Haven Colony as well as one of the fathers of the new
settlement in New Jersey. He, with Capt. Robert Treat, seemed
to have a large share of the weight of responsibility of that young
colony upon their shoulders, and its success at heart. Mr.

296 CKANE GENEALOGY.

Crane did not go, it is said, with the first company to " Milford,"
as the first settlement at Newark, N. J., was called, but signed,
with twenty-two others, the first contract in 1665. Jan. 20,
1667, he headed the list of signers and church members of the
first Church at Newark, and became one of the most influential
and active men of the new colony. Jasper Crane and Robert
Treat were the first magistrates in Newark. It is said that Mr.
Crane was dissatisfied at the New Haven Colony becoming united
with the Connecticut Colony ; he preferred to have the New Haven
Colony remain separate.

He was a surveyor and merchant, as well as a magistrate, and
with Mr. Myles laid out the most of the New Haven town plot,
located grants, established division lines, and settled disputed
titles. It is said that he was steward of Rev. John Davenport's
property in 1639. In March, 1641, he received a grant of 100
acres of land in the East Meadow. He was one of the New
Haven Company concerned in the settlement on the Delaware
River in 1642, who were so roughly handled by the Dutch. In
1643 his estate was voted at £480, with three persons in his
family, — self, wife and son John. In 1644—45 he received a
grant of 16 acres of upland, situated in East Haven, upon which he
built a house, in which his son Joseph was born. While residing
at this place he was in trade as a merchant, but not being satisfied
with the location he sold this place Sept. 7, 1652, and became
one of the first planters of Branford, Conn., a new settlement
then just being instituted by families from Wethersfield, Conn.,
under the leadership of Mr. Swayne, and a few from Southamp-
ton, L. I.

Jasper Crane, Esq., and Mr. Wm. Swayne were the first depu-
ties to the General Court of Electors from Branford in May,
1653, Mr. Crane being returned during the four succeeding years.
In May, 1658, he was chosen one of four magistrates for the New
Haven Colony and held the office by appointment until 1663;
also one of the magistrates called together by the Governor, at
Hartford, in 1665-67. In the union of the Colonies he- was
chosen one of the assistants, was also Trustee of County Court,
New Haven, 1644. His house lot in New Haven was located on
what is now Elm Street, at the corner of Orange Street, the same
now occupied by the Church of St. Thomas.

The first Church of Newark was founded in 1667, and a build-
ing erected, about 1714 or 1716, a second meeting-house was
built, and the third erected about 1787 to 1791. The people of
Orange, Bloomfield and Montclair communed with the Newark
Church until about 1716. In fact, for considerably more than a
hundred years after the founding of Newark the crest of the first
mountain was the western boundary of the town, and until the
year 1806 the town of Newark was divided into three wards :
Newark Ward, Orange Ward, and Bloomfield Ward. That year
Orange became a separate town, and six years later Bloomfield
Ward became the town of Bloomfield. This part of Newark took

The exact date that Jasper senior took his leave of Branford
has not been definitely fixed. In the spring of 1666 the people
of Branford, becoming dissatisfied about the union of the New
Haven and Connecticut Colonies, and particularly on account of
granting the right of suffrage to the inhabitants not members of
the hurch, resolved at once to remove to New Jersey, as a-ents
who had been sent thither, came back bringing favorable reports
of the new country. In October, after adopting a code of laws
for their government, Mr. Pierson with a portion of his congre-
gation left Branford for their future home, Newark N°J
Jasper senior although one of the original twenty-three who
signed the first contract in 1665, still was active in public affairs
in Branford, holding the office of assistant magistrate in 1666
and 166/. But Jan. 30, 1667, he headed the list of signers to a
new covenant and disposing of his property at Branford that
year took up his permanent home at Newark and became very
prominent in all transactions of the town, especially during the
hrst fourteen years of its growth and development. " He was the
first president of the town court, and first on the list of deputies
to the General Assembly of New Jersey for several years \t

Jasper Crane, No. 40 to Deliverance Crane, and No. 62 to John
Crane, they being his two eldest sons.

At a town meeting of Newark, held January, 1668, Jasper
Crane, with Robert Treat, were chosen magistrates for the year
ensuing, and also deputies or burgesses for the General Assembly
for the same year. This Robert Treat was the first recorder
or town clerk for Newark, and was exceedingly prominent in all
public matters while he remained in the settlement. But in 1671
he returned to Connecticut, where he was held in high esteem
and for several years was Governor of that Colony." proving a
faithful and conscientious worker for the interest of the inhabit-
ants under his charge. From January, 1668, until his death,
Jasper Crane senior was given a prominent part to perform in
the settlement of Newark. May 20, 1668, he as one of a com-
mittee signed an agreement fixing the dividing line between
Newark Town and Elizabeth Town. July 28, 1669, he with
Robert Treat was chosen by the town to take first opportunity
'■ to go to ' York' to advise with Col. Lovelace concerning our
standing. Whether we are designed to be a part of the Duke's

if there shall be any." He with Robert Treat were chosen to
be moderators of town meetings for the year ensuing. Jan. 2.
1670, again chosen magistrate and deputy, serving in latter
capacity annually until 1674. and at the town meeting Feb. 20,
it was voted that the governor be requested to confirm Jasper
Crane and Robert Treat magistrates or justices of the peace.
The same honors were conferred in 1671, and in addition it was
voted Jan. 22. 1671, that "every man should bring his half
bushel to Henry Lyon & Joseph VVraters and have it tried and
sealed when made fit with Mr. Crane's, which for the present is
the standard." Mr. Crane was also one of a committee to see to
burning the woods for a year. May 13. 1672. Mr. Crane and
Lieut. Swain were chosen representatives for the town to consult
with other representatives of the country to order matters for the
safety for the country. June 17, 1672. Mr. Crane was again
chosen magistrate, and also chosen •• President of the Quarterly
Court to be held in Newark to begin September nest." He was
also given '• liberty to sell liquors in the town till the country
order alter it."

At a town meeting July 1, 1673, Mr. Crane was chosen to
serve on a committee, with Mr. Bond. Mr. Swain, Mr. Kitchell
and Mr. Lyon, to consider with messengers from other towns
about sending a petition to the Lords Proprietors in England for
the removal of grievances ; and July oth the town agreed to pay
for sending the messenger to England, as the above committee
had agreed with Mr. Delevall about money to cover that expense.

August 4th the town chose Mr. Crane. Mr. Bond. Lieut. Swain
and Sergeant John Ward deputies to treat with the generals
about having a privileged county between the two rivers Passaic
and Araritine. August 12th again chosen magistrate ; September
6th. on committee to try and secure the "Neck" to add to the
possessions of Newark; and September 16th instructed by the
town to " treat with the generals, and, if they can. to buy
it." It would seem the committee were successful, for Octo-
ber 25th Mr. Crane, Mr. Molyns and Mr. Hopkins were
chosen to look after the confirmation of the purchase of
the Neck and sue for further easement in respect to pay.
November 17th Capt. Swain and Mr. Crane were chosen to
continue the trade for the Neck. The following year (June
29, 1674.) the town voted to have Mr. Crane and Mr. Pierson.
Jr., carry the petition and present it to the Governor and
Council at North Orange to "obtain confirmation of their
bought and paid for lands." August 10, 1674, was again
chosen magistrate. Mr. Crane was now becoming quite ad-
vanced in years, and the important and exacting services
required of him by the town must have proved a heavy tax upon
his strength, for he now dropped out of political office, while his
sous. John. Azariah and Jasper. Jr.. began to work in. Feb. 19,
1673-9. it having been discovered that many of the settlers had
taken up lands contrary to a town agreement, Mr. Crane stated

FIKST GENERATION. 299

at town meeting that he would lay down all lands so taken if
others would, and March 10th following he was chosen, with
Robert Dalglesh and Jasper Crane, Jr., to lay out Samuel
Potter's lot again. This entry, so far as the public records of
Newark shows, closes the public life of the senior Jasper Crane.

If we may judge from the entries upon the Newark Town
Records we should say that, next to Robert Treat, Jasper Crane
was the most prominent figure in the early settlement of that
town. After Treat returned to Connecticut, Jasper Crane's
name came first in the filling by popular vote the highest and
most responsible positions of public trust in the settlement. That
he held the confidence of the people is clearly manifested by their
returning him annually for so many years, and until the infirmi-
ties of age unfitted him for further public service. But the
family name and traits of character were appreciated, for no
sooner than the name of Jasper senior disappears from the pro-
ceedings of the town meetings than the names of John, Azariah
and Jasper, Jr., are brought into recognition. The patents for
land in Newark to Jasper Crane, Aug. 25, 1675, covering one
hundred and sixty-eight acres, are as follows : " House: lot 14
acres, 17 a. his first division on Great Neck, 11 a. in part for his
second division ou said Neck, 6 a. on said Neck, 4 a. at bottom
of the Neck, 20 a. for his second division by Two Mile Brook, 26
a. his third division by head of Mile Brook, 20 a. for his third
division at the head of the branch of Second River, 14 a. of
meadow for his first division at Great Island, 12 a. of meadow
for his second division by the Great Pond, 14 a. for proportion of
bogs, 5 a. of meadow near the Great Island, 1 a. of meadow
at Beef Point, 4 a. of meadow near Wheeler's Point, yealcling i
penny lawful money of England, or in such pay as the country
doth produce at merchants' price, for every one of the said acres,
the first payment to begin the 25th of March, which was in the
year 1670." These lands were taken up and occupied some time
prior to date of the patents. Another warrant seems to have
been issued to Jasper Crane, May 1, 1675, for 103 acres of land
in Newark.

At a town meeting held Aug. 24, 1670, an agreement was made
with Mr. Robert Treat and Sergt. Richard Harrison to build and
maintain a sufficient corn-mill upon the brook called Miil Brook.
They were given sole privilege of this brook, with all the town
grists, and all stone within the town limits suitable for mill-
stones, with all the timber that was prepared by Joseph Horton
for the mill, and two days' work of every man and woman that
holds an allotment in the town, with all the lands formerly
granted to Joseph Horton. They were to hold this land as their
own so long as they held and maintained the mill, and not to
dispose of the mill without consent of the town. The town was
also to give thirty pounds in good wheat, pork, beef, or one-
fourth in good Indian corn, at such prices as would enable them
to exchange it for or procure iron, millstones, or the work-

man's wages, &c. : Winter wheat 5 shillings per bushel ; summer
wheat 4s. 5d. ; pork 3d. per lb. ; beef 2d. ; Indian corn 2s. 6d.
per bushel. As Mr. Treat was to return to Connecticut, Jasper
Crane assumed his portion of the contract.

From Jasper Crane we have a large number of descendants —
one branch of them located westward of Newark, and five or six
miles distant, calling the place Cranetown. Some of his descend-
ants located four miles southward of Newark, at a place called
Elizabeth Town. Among those who settled here was Stephen
Crane, who there is good reason to believe was an elder son of
Jasper, born in England about 1630.

From these points members of the family pressed their way
further westward, crossing the Passaic River, settling Morris
County. They were all remarkable for frugality, honesty and
piety, and were mostly Presbyterians. It has heen said by one,
not a member of the family, " no more respectable people, no
better citizens, are found in our communities than those who bear
Crane blood in them."

Oct. 30, 1666, at a meeting in Branford, Conn., the prelimi-
nary agreement outlining the conduct of the proposed new
settlement upon the '• Passiack River in the Province of New
Jersey " was signed by many Branford people, among them
Jasper Crane senior and his sons John and Delivered.* These
three names appear among the first proprietors of the town of
Newark, and at the town meeting held Feb. 6, 1667, Mr. Jasper
Crane, John and Deliverance * appear to have been present.
Thenceforth for more than a century the name of Crane occupied
a conspicuous place in the annals of the town, and scarcely a
town meeting was held during a period of one hundred years that
there was not a Crane chosen to fill some town office, and it was
not unusual to elect to public positions several of the name at one
meeting. But March 13, 1759, the family seemed to have reached
the zenith of its popularity, for at that meeting by vote of the
town eight different offices were filled by Cranes. As it appears,
however, that John Crane was chosen collector and John Crane
to serve on a committee to settle a line in the parsonage land, it
may have required but seven Cranes to fill the eight posi-
tions ; so that the election held this day exceeded but a trifle that
held March 12, 1754, when six Cranes were elected to fill seven
public positions. Their names were: John, for collector;
Timothy and Ezekiel, surveyors of highways ; Elijah and William,
overseers of the poor; John, clerk of strays; Noah, on com-
mittee to settle the line between the towns of Newark and Eliza-
beth towu.

brothers Delivered and Jasper were among the first to remove to
the settlement of Newark, N. J., in the spring of 1666. The first
town meeting was held in Newark. May 21, 1666. He died in
1694, aged 59. He was first elected to public office there as
fence viewer. Jan. 2, 1670-1, and he soon became prominent
in public affairs. He had a seat in the first meeting-house in
Newark. Was among the deputies to the General Assembly of
New Jersey, 1671-5. In 1674, he was chosen by vote of the
town to warn the people, at his end of the town, of town
meetings. He was chosen grand juryman for 1677, and select-
man in 1683. His house lot plated on the map of Newark,
published in 1806, places it on Broad Street, northerly from
Trinity Episcopal Church and the upper Common, and ex-
tending to the Passaic River. He was to have the '-silver
bole," and at his death, the bowl evidently went to his brother
Azariah, although it may have passed through the hands of
Delivered. A warrant was issued under date. April 27, 1694, to
him for seventy-three acres of land, in eight parcels, the fifth by

daughter ot Capt. Robert Treat. She was born 1649, died Nov
lJi, 1-04, aged 55 ; he died Nov. 5, 1730, in his 83d year. In
the overturn of the government by the Dutch, etc., he was
betrusted with the concerns of his father-in-law, Mr. Robert
Ireat, who was Governor of Connecticut during the Charter Oak
affair Azariah appears to have outlived all the original settlers
and left his silver bowl to be used forever in the"lst Presby-
terian Church in Newark, where he was a deacon from 1690 until
his death. He held many offices of public trust in the town : in
1690, on committee of safety; in 1691, chosen to care for the
poor of the town; in 1692, to treat with Rev. John Pruden to
become the minister; Jan. 1693-4. deputy to Provincial Assemblv
also deputy in 1695; selectman in 1676, 1683 and 1694; also as
constable, grand juryman, pound-keeper; to look after the
young people of the town, to lay out highwavs, view children's
estates, overseer of the poor, etc.

As early as 1715, he was living on his home place at the
Mountain, and it is almost certain that he located there manv
years prior to that date, for we find in the early town records
the following : - By warrant, April 27, 1694, there was laid out
by John Oardner a tract of land at the foot of the Mountain,
having Azariah Crane on the northeast, and Jasper Crane on
the southwest."

June 9, 1679, warrants were issued to him for 136 acres in
nine parcels, the sixth was fifty acres on branches of the Eliza-
beth River, April 27, 1694, 100 acres in three parcels. April
19, 1698, the town voted that a committee of five should view
whether Azariah Crane should be given land out of the Com-
mon for a tanyarcl at the front of John Plum's home lot ; on
committee in 1706, to treat with Rev. Samuel Whittlesey, to
settle in work of the ministry. They must have had some "little
trouble in securing the right man, for March 21, 1708, he was
on a committee to instruct Mr. Pearson, who was going to
New England, to endeavor to procure a minister. He" secured

Nathaniel Bowers, who remained with the people there until his
death, Aug 30, 1716, and again Mr. Crane was on committee to
secure a new minister.

There was apparently some hitch in the arrangement for the
tannery before referred to, for Azariah soon after that date
removed to a place near the mountain, and formed a settlement
known as Cranetown (Montclair), six miles from Newark.
Jan. 13, 1719, there was organized a Church called "The Society
at the Mountain," now Orange, two miles west of Newark, and
during that year land was purchased for a meeting-house plot of
Thomas Gardner, and soon a small church edifice was erected.
Azariah Crane became a prominent actor in the society, and for
many years was a deacon there, living to the age of seventy-
four years.

His sons, Nathaniel, Noah, Azariah and William, also in their
turn, took leading positions in this society, aiding materially with
funds in building the church edifice. William succeeded his
father Azariah as deacon in that Church. Oct., 1785, this
mountain "Society at the Mountain" was first called "Orange
Dale," and two "years later the "Dale" was omitted, and
thenceforth known as Orange.

In June, 1798, Joseph Crane, son of Noah, was deacon of
this Church. He was then a resident of Cranetown, and after-
wards became elder in the Church at Bloomfield. Of the elders
in that Church by the name of Crane, we may name Lewis, who
died in 1777, aged 59 ; Noah in office, 1776, died June 8, 1800,
aged 81 ; Joseph, mentioned above, in office, 1794-98, died Oct.

he purchased the property of Robert Lyman, who had returned
to England. He was a member of the Assembly in 1704, in
Cornbury's time, and also a magistrate.

He with his brothers John and Deliverance, owned seats in the

and the boundary controversy between Newarkand Elizabeth-
town, etc. He received two warrants for land, one, April 27,
1694, and the other, April 10, 1696, aggregating 120 acres,
located on branches of the Elizabethtown River.

Jasper Crane has a house lot located on the map of Newark,
published in 1806, at the corner of High and Market Streets ;
whether this was meant for senior or junior does not appear.

It is quite certain that he located in that part of Newark
called Cranetown, afterwards West Bloomfield, now Montclair.
Soon after the year 1681, at which time the town of Newark
ordered the laying out of a highway as far as the mountain,
which act no doubt was for the accommodation of settlers in
that portion of the town, and where in the year, 1694, the town
records give him a location, and it is said that his descendants,
and those of his brother Azariah, occupied nearly, if not quite,
all the westerly side of the town. He died March 6, 1712. aged
62. His tombstone stood in the Presbyterian churchyard on
Broad Street, Newark. According to his will he had the follow-
ing children :

Bloomfield on the place which was afterwards occupied by Cyrus
Pierson as late as 1851. The spring near which he lived is
located near the railway depot in Montclair, N. J. He was
chosen to record strays March, 1744. He died in 1760, aged
about 80 years. The will (1760) names the children.

About the year 1716 the people in and about Cranetown formed
what for some years was known as the " Mountain Society " and
later became the " Second Church of Newark," now the "First
Presbyterian Church of Orange." He. in 1753, was one of the
subscribers to build the second meeting-house. His son Nathan-
iel, Jr., was also a subscriber with the following Cranes: Caleb,
William. Job, Gamaliel, Noah, Stephen, Jedediah, Louis, Elihu
and Ezekiel. Their subscriptions amounting to 56-16-6. Dec.
7, 1796, a resolution was passed by the congregation and trustees
assuming the title of "The Presbyterian Church of Bloomfield,"
and the following Cranes contributed to hire a minister for six
months : Oliver, Stephen, William, Job, Simeon, Widow Susanna,
Phineas, Noah, Noah, Jr., Joseph, Israel, Aaron, Nathaniel,
Benjamin, Eleakim, Widow Jane and Iddok (probably meant for

mountain plantation to his well beloved son-in-law Zachariah Bald-
win. He settled at West Bloomfield, N. J., near his brother Na-
thaniel. Elias B. Crane lived on the place in 1851. She died June
15, 1739, aged 48, and he married again. He with his brother
Nathaniel were the promoters of (Cranetown) Montclair, locating
their home places near the spring which was a few years ago, and
possibly at present time may be seen near the railroad depot at
Montclair, N. J. In 1753 Azariah conveyed to his son Azariah
a tract of land extending to the top of the mountain. He was a
subscriber to the fund for erecting a parsonage at Montclair, and
also the meeting-house. He was not without his honors at the
hands of his fellow-townsmen; as early as Nov. 2, 1703, he was
chosen one of the pounders. Children :

76. Robert Crane3 [22], (Azariah,2 Jasper1), married

Pbebe . She died May 13, 1759. He died July 14, 1755,

aged 71. His will named children as given below. He is said to
have lived in a stone house in Newark, N. J. It seems quite
certain that having been named for his grandfather Robert Treat
he inherited a part of the land in Newark once the property of
this grandfather, located on Market Street, between Broad and
Mulberry Streets, and back of the old meeting-house through to
Washington Street. In 1806 the Presbyterian Church stood on
what was once a portion of this estate. Mr. Isaac Watts Crane
says Mulberry Street was formerly called Baldwin's Lane. He
also writes that on this above-mentioned tract of land, meaning
the Robert Treat estate, he could recall among those who had
occupied it '-John Crane, Isaac, Timothy, Obadiah, & Azariah."
They were doubtless all of them descendants of Deacon Azariah
Crane, father of this Robert. March 11, 1718, he was chosen
pounder, and surveyor of highways in 1736 and 1737, and fence
viewer in 17-10. Children :

He resided in that part of Newark called for many years Crane-
town, then West Bloomfleld, now Mont Clair, N. J., and was a
subscriber for the purpose of hiring a minister to preach the Gos-
pel there. He was overseer of the poor from 1753 to 1756 inclu-
sive, and of highways from 1760 to 1764; freeholder, 1767. He
may have inherited property here from his father, and possibly
succeeded to the home estate ; of that, however, we are not cer-
tain, but the notable Crane mansion occupied by him or his family
during the period of the war of the Revolution, still standing at
the junction of Valley road and Clairmont avenue, was his home,
and occupied about three weeks by Gen. Washington as his head-
quarters, Gen. Lafayette being with him. The time of occupa-
tion doubtless being from the latter week in October to about the
middle of November, 1780. While those two great generals
were making Mr. Crane's house their home, he with four if not
five of his sons were performing soldiers' duties in the army of
which they were the commanders. It is related by Rev. Oliver

CRAXE GENEALOGY.

Crane, D.D.. LL.D.. that on the arrival of Gen. Washington at
the house, Mercy Crane then in charge, and causing supper to be
prepared, discovered she had no tea to serve, and becoming
quite disturbed about it offered an apology to the General for
the lack of what might seem to him an important feature of his
repast. '• Never mind, my good lady," replied His Excellency.
•• please have a crust of bread toasted and use it for tea. that is
good enough for me." ilrs. Crane's anxiety was thus dispelled,
and supper was served. Night came on. and the capacity of the
house for beds was overtaxed, the lower back room selected by
the two generals for their use, had been used for the dining-room,
the deficiency of beds then was thereupon made known to the

is there not? " The straw was soon brought in and spread in one
corner of the room, and the two famous generals retired to rest,
wrapped in their army blankets, on that bundle of straw.

Zadoc. b. 1758; m.; no children; d. 1841. Gen. Washing-
ton had an old gray horse which was almost as well known
as its rider. Zadoc Crane, one of the Revolutionary
Fathers, took care of the old gray when Washington was
at Cranetown. in New Jersey. While Zadoc took care of
the horse, the family entertained Washington, and waited
upon him with a finely Japanned server. This server,
though the Japanning is all worn off, was brought to the
Fair to exhibit in Bric-a-brac, by Mrs. Emma Fasshaber,
whose father was Zadoc Crane's uncle. Those were times
famous for having tried men's souls, and it was absolutely
necessary to exercise the greatest care and vigilance. The
oats fed to Washington's horse were kept concealed under
a stack of hay. and every time Zadoc got a mess from
under it he replaced the hay nicely, and after feeding, he
carefully picked up every scattered straw for fear the
British might nose the oats and •' cahoage" them.

During the time Washington was occupying "Cranetown
Gap," as he styled it, the alarm came that the British were
about to make an attempt on the American lines in their
somewhat insecure position, and desiring to be in readi-
ness to meet such a movement should it he made, and not
feeling at this critical moment that he had a man to spare
from the ranks, he called for volunteers outside of those
in the service to act as couriers to warn the minute-men
living beyond the so called " first and second mountains,"
covering the region between the Passaic River and the
second mountain, including Horseneck, Pine Brook, Swine-
field, etc. Zadoc. a son of William, who had been lame
from boyhood, offered to assume the ditficult and perilous
undertaking. Although lame, one leg being shorter than

the other, was well able to ride on horseback, and soon
appeared mounted on his own spirited horse, and armed
with a heavy cutlass, this being his only weapon; just as
the sun was disappearing behind the mountains, under
special orders from the General, he set out on his impor-
tant errand. It was a ride for the night, calling at every
house and routing them from their slumbers. As the
gray of the morning began to show itself, he was march-
ing his men toward the Crane mansion, and just at day-
break drew up his squad in front of the doorstep, on
which stood Gen. Washington for the purpose of inspect-
ing them. " Well done, my man," was the salute of His
Excellency. " Now come in and take a horn of whiskey,
for you must need it."

March 3, 1755, he was chosen one of the assessors for the town
of Newark. He died July 2, 1796, aged 73. During the Revo-
lutionary war he lived in Newark, was taken prisoner by the
British, and had his feet frozen from exposure. He lived in a
stone house, with quite a large lot of land surrounding it, situated

on Street, in Newark, N. J. His youngest daughter Abigail

inherited the estate, and resided there for many years, refusing
to part with the land, although urged to do so by persons needing
it for the site of stores and for other business purposes. In 1836
she was residing there ; but a few years later she was persuaded
to relinquish the place and secure a home in another portion of
the city. It is said she had previously refused $10,000 in money
and a lot with a much better house upon it in exchange for her
home. But now she was far advanced in years and by force of
circumstances obliged to yield to the onward march of improve-
ments. She died about 1844, soon after leaving her old home.
This stone house had over the door the figures 1760. Mr.
Edwin Crane thinks that may have been the date of its con-
struction. Children :

Phebe. From the headstone at his grave we learn that he died
Dec. 15. 1785, in the 67th year of his age, and that he was
known as Captain Josiah Crane ; also that his wife's name
was Jerusha; that she died Oct. 10, 1777, in the 55th year of her
age. The writer has not been able to learn whether Captain
Josiah lived at Connecticut Farms or not, although his son
Josiah did ; therefore it is uncertain which one of these two
Josiahs is referred to in the town records, March 8, 1768, where
it reads: "Josiah Crane, at the Farms, chosen one of the over-
seers of highways." At this time there were no less than four
Josiah Cranes, of suitable age to serve in public office ; hence
the difficulty of proper designation. Children :

Burnet writes that most of the Cranes in the line of Joseph,
lived during the last century, between Newark and South
Orange, N. J., in and about Springfield, and at North Farms,
now Middleville. March 8, 1757, was chosen one of the over-
seers of highways. She was left a widow, and married Paul
Day, and her will, dated 1785, names the following children:

FIFTH GENERATION.

400. Stephen Crane5 [132], (Edmund.4 John,3 John,3 Jas-
per1). Quite recently we have been furnished data which, to the
best of our judgment, after careful investigation, belongs here.
And being unable to perfect the line before the arrangement of
other families was made, the full line is entered at this point.
The above Stephen Crane was a cooper by trade, and lived in
Elizabeth, N. J. Subsequently he removed to Goshen, N. Y.
Married , and the following, with record of his descend-
ants, has been furnished by Rev. Floyd N. Crane, of Goshen,
son of John Sears Crane :

In a bond of indemnity by Nathaniel Ball, of Newark, N. J.,
to Stephen Crane, dated April '22, 1761, Josiah Crane was a
witness.

In a deed of 59 acres to Stephen Crane by Elkanah Fuller,
Stephen C. is said to be '• of late from East New Jersey."

In an old bond of my grandfather, John Crane, to his brother,
Stephen. Jr., the time of payment is thus worded: "the same to
be paid sis months after the death of Stephen Crane, the father
of the said Stephen Crane, Junr."

In a deed made "May 20, 1757, in the 30th yr of his Majes-
ties Reign King George the Second of Great Brittain, Between
Josiah Woodruff of Borough of Elizabeth in the County of Essex
& Eastern Division of the Province of N. J. & Stephen Crane
of the Borough aforesaid." Consideration, "110 pounds at 8
shillings the ounce & all one certain Messuage & in the Borough

FIFTH GENERATION. 329

daughter of Dr. Benjamin Hathaway, of Morristown, N. J.,
bom Oct. 6, 1746; she died April 19, 1792.

Mrs. D. H. Law, a descendant who has given much time to
investigation, writes that he entered into covenant in the Pres-
byterian Church of Morristown, Nov. 4, 1764; that he served as
lieutenant in Captain Halsey's Company, Eastern Battalion.
Morris Co., N. .1. Militia, during August and September. 1776,
and as captain from September until the close of the Revolu-
tionary war. In the spring of 1784. he removed to Goshen,
N. Y., with his three sons, and purchased three hundred acres
of land in Orange Co.. giving each of them a farm there.
Some of his descendants still (1897) reside on a portion of
that original tract of land. By trade he was a hatter, and
before removing to New York State, kept a store in Morristown,
N. J. He was a large man, weighing about 250 pounds. Is
said to have married three times, one wife being a Kitchell, of
Rockaway Neck, N.-J-, but all his children were by his first
wife. He died July 14. 1822, aged 77. He was a man of good
repute, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of all who knew
him. His last wife survived him. Children :

owned and operated the Hoboken ferry, at which time he resided
in New Jersey, opposite New York city. He was a schoolmate
of Martin Van Buren and DeWitt Clinton. Was also a surveyor,
and became one of the first settlers of Mentz. Cayuga Co., N.

330 CRANE GENEALOGY.

437. As the brothers whose names are given below were cousins
of the above Shadrack Crane, we give here what we have been
able to obtain concerning their descendants. The name of their
father seems not to have been made clear. Whether it was
Stephen or John (uncles to Shadrack) we do not know, although
that would seem probable, or it may have been Aaron. Alexan-
der Dallas Crane gave the latter as his grandfather's name, and at
the same time said his own father Stephen was cousin to Shadraeh
Crane, who married Hannah Palmer. A daughter of Martin L.
Crane writes : " Aaron was half brother to Stephen. I think. I
never heard his name mentioned in connection with the Cranes
but once or twice, and then I asked my father who Aaron was ;
he said to me he was ' an odd sheep ' and they never paid any
attention to him. That is all I know of the said Aaron."

439. Hon. Alexander Dallas Crane [3]; was b. in Mentz or Mon-
tezuma, N. Y.. the son of a farmer. Learned the trade of a
blacksmith. In the year 1827 he removed to Michigan,
arriving there Nov. 24. stopping at Ann Arbor. Three years
later he located at Dexter, continuing to work at his trade until
1832, when he began the study of law. Was soon elected
constable ; and subsequently was deputy sheriff and collector
of taxes, continuing in the latter position ten years. He tried
merchandising for a year and a half, when, in 1343. he was
admitted to the bar. and learned to practice in the legal pro-
fession. In 1 84 9 President Fillmore appointed him post-
master at Dexter: also served as justice of the peace. At
the close of the year 1853 he resigned the postmastership to
accept the office of prosecuting attorney of Washtenaw Co.,
1854 to 1»65. Four times in succession he was called upon
to preside over the circuit court as its judge, and in 1873 he
was appointed judge of the fourth judicial district of Michi-
gan, embracing the counties of Jackson, Ingham and Washte-
naw, which seat he tilled with credit and honor for three
years. At the close of his judgeship he formed a copartner-
ship with A. .1. Sawyer at Ann Arbor. Little later he returned
to Dexter, where he continued his law practice, adding the
insurance business, and continuing it until failing health com-
pelled the relinquishment of all care. Mr. Crane was ap-
pointed colonel of the 7th Regt., 4th Brigade, 2d division of
Michigan State Militia, bv Governor S. T. Mason. March 30.

FIFTH GENERATION. 331

1832. April 29, 1842, he was appointed brigadier-general by

101 men, and entered the service of the United States, May
29, 18SI, as captain of Co. K, 4th Regt., Michigan Infantry.
Ill health from exposure and service soon compelled him to
resign, much to his regret. Feb. 6, 1830, Mr. Crane married
