Ile was in communion with the Mountain Society previous to 1756. Among those who entered into covenant with the Montelair Society during the pastorate of Rev.

In the description of the boundaries of Newark it says, "thence along the line of Caldwell township to a point in the First Mountain called Stephen Crane's notch."
At a convention of the committees of the several counties held at New Brunswick in response to the appeal of the " Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Essex, Province of New Jersey. to take action in regard to the late acts of Parliament, etc." 72 gentlemen took part in the deliberations. " Stephen Crane of Essex was in the chair." At this meeting Stephen Crane was appointed one of the delegates to the General Continental Congress held in the city of Philadelphia, September, 1774.

SIXTH GENERATION .- LINE OF AZARIAMI (2).
ZENAS SQUIRE CRANE, son of Aaron (Job. Azariah, Jr .. Deacon Azariah, Jasper), was born in Crane- town, October 20, 1793, on the homestead situated on the Valley Road, near the junetion of Church Street. subsequently purchased by Grant JJ. Wheeler, and now occupied by the latter's son.
" Squire " Crane, as he was known, began life as a clerk in the store of Job Dodd, in Bloomtiekl. When but eighteen years of age he was elected a constable for Bloomfield township. A year later, on the breaking out of the war of 1-12. he responded to his country's call, and, though a mere youth, shouldered his flint-Joek musket, and enlisted in a New Jersey regiment, doing service at Sandy Hook. and in the southern part of the State. defending the coast against the invading forces. On his return he entered the militia service, and on May 15. 1521, was made lieutenant, and subsequently captain. of the First Company. Second Battalion, of the Fifth Regiment, acting as such for more than eleven years. In 1826 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace by the Legislature, which office he held with great credit for fifty-four conseentive years. llis ruling> during all this time were never reversed by those of a higher court, and the decisions rendered by him were at all times sound and logical. He received an ap- pointment as Commissioner of Deeds a year later, and in 1537 he was appointed a Lay Judge of Essex County, in which capacity he served until 1553, when he was also appointed a Master of Chancery. When the building of the present court house was proposed, Judge Crane was one of the members of the Building Committee.
There was, perhaps, not another man in Essex County who was so well informed as to the general transactions in real estate, since Judge Crane was a surveyor and surveyed the lands and prepared the deeds for nearly every tran-action made in this vicinity for fifty years. He was also one of the corporate members of the Presbyterian Church, and served as a Trustee for more than twenty years. Among the archives of the public schools is a book wherein Mr. Crane has recorded the organization of the present school on May 17, 1531, to which he subscribes himself as President of the Board of Trustees, of which he was a member for many years. Few men in this vicinity ever led such a life of public usefulness. He was for a long period the President of the Rosendale Cement Co. of JJersey City ; and at one time he owned all the lands bounded by a line running from the corner of Valley Road to a point at the top of the mountain, near the lands of Mr. Pillsbury, and from thence to the Old Road, then known as the Pompton Turnpike, the lands being bounded on the east and west by Valley Road and the Caklwell Township line.
At the Presidential election in 1850, Judge Crane and " Unele" Nathaniel R. Dodd marched to the polls early in the morning, the former bearing aloft an American flag. Quite a number of voters had preceded them, but all waited until the two old veterans had deposited their ballots. The Judge was a loyal adherent to his country, a staunch supporter of the old Whig party, and subsequently an uncom- promising Republican.
lle was married to Miss Maria Searing. September 24. 1-21. in the old Bloomfield Hotel, the ser- viee being performed by the Rev. Dr. JJudd. who was at that time the pastor of the Presbyterian Church of that place. Six children were the issue of this marriage, viz .: Sarah A., wife of Thomas Jessup, who lived and died at Newburgh, N. Y., Angelena, wife of Hon. Stephen K. Williams, now living at Newark, Wayne County, N. Y., Mary Elizabeth, wife of Mr. John Andrus, now living at Hackensack. Bergen County. N. J. Theodore T .. now living at Yonkers, N. Y., and Frances J., wife of Dr. J. J. H. Love, of Montelair.
JEREMIAH. son of Stephen (Azariah (2), Deacon Azariah, Jasper) and Rhoda Crane, born April 2, 1770. The homestead of Jeremiah stood on the foundation of what is now the cottage of the Thomas Porter property, near the corner of Harrison Avenue and Union Street. His farm extended from what is now Harrison Avenue to the top of the mountain. He was a man of considerable note in his day. IIe married Elizabeth Corby. born June 22, 1774, and had eleven children, viz. : Purthana, Hannah, William, Julia. Rhoda. Israel, Linas. Iru, Mary, Eliza Ann, Martha.
