Abigail CROSS

Abigail married John CRANE on 29 Oct 1712. John was born on 1689 or 1690; died on 1 Mar 1765 in Mansfield, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
Settled first in Mansfield, 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.

Ebenezer married Sarah CURTIS on 21 Jun 1744. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
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.

Hezekiah married Tamesin ELDRIDGE on 6 Jun 1749. Tamesin (daughter of Elisha ELDREDGE and Dorcas MULFORD) died on 15 Mar 1771. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
