Notes for Benjamin CRANE
727Here is mention of a man named Benjamin Crane. I'm not certain which individual it is. In writing about Samuel Terrey it is said that on 4 Jan 1698 "Samuel married his second wife, Martha Boardman, widow of Benj. Crane of Wethersfield. Benjamin was drowned in 1693 and left two little children, Benjamin and Isaac. Benjamin the little son had died, but Isaac was brought up in the Terry family. ... Benjamin b. 13 Oct 1698 m. Hannah Pease (dau of Jas and Hannah Harmon Pease). ... Isaac m. Margaret Downing."
