had a grant of land on Beaver, now Tando's brook, in 1660. He served on the jury in 1664, drew land in the allotment of 1670, and pur- chased land of Daniel Rose in 1673, and other tracts at various times. In May, 1682, he was one of those who petitioned the general court for liberty to "erect a plantation in the Wabay- nassit country" (Windham county).

(II) Lieutenant Jonathan Crane, son of Benjamin Crane, was born December 1, 1658, died in Lebanon, Connecticut, March 12, 1735. He was one of the settlers of Windham, Con- necticut, and at the first public meeting, May 18, 1691, was chosen, with three others, to run the town lines. During that summer he built and set in operation his gristmill, which was on the site of what is now known as Brig- ham's Mills. October 6, 1691, he, with ten others, petitioned the general court to grant them a town charter, the town to be called Windham. The petition was granted May 12, 1692. At the first public meeting, June 12, 1692, he was chosen one of the "Townsmen," and at the same time was on a committee to secure a minister. He held also various minor offices. In May, 1695, he was elected ensign of a military company and commissioned by the general court in October of that year. Janu- ary, 1695. he exchanged property with Ser- geant William Backus, and received for his gristmill, a new dwelling-house in Windham, together with several acres of land, known as the "Hither Place." This property he sold again in April of the same year. January 30. 1700, he, with Rev. Samuel Whiting, pur- chased a lot of land in Windham, which they gave to the town for a "meeting-house plat or common." It was afterwards calleel "Wind- ham Green," and upon it the first meeting- house was erected. In 1698 he and Thomas Huntington had purchased, in behalf of the ioprietors of Windham, a tract of land con-
taining about ten thousand acres, lying between Windham and Norwich, and, in 1700, this tract was made over to him and Rev. Samuel Whit- ing to lay out and sell to settlers. That same year he received permission from the court at Hartford "to keep a public victualing house for the entertainment of travelers and strang- ers, and the retailing of strong drink," and, in 1703, the town agreed to have but "one ordi- nary, Lieutenant Crane to keep it." He was also in that year commissioned lieutenant by the general court. The following year, when the Indian war broke out afresh, the military company of Windham was reorganized and he was chosen lieutenant. He was exceedingly active in all church affairs, and, in 1726, was chosen, with two others, to act with the dea- cons as councillors of the church. June 26, 1726, at the first court of common pleas, he was one of the first set of jurymen empanelled in the county of Windham. He was also deputy to the general court from Windham for nine years, 1701-03-05-07-14-17-18-21-22. July 3, 1734, he is called of Lebanon. He married Deborah, born May, 1661, died 1704. daughter of Francis Griswold, who was first in Saybrook, in Windsor, in 1649, and in Nor- wich, 1660. He died June 6, 1735.

Some time before 1719 he removed to Fairfield, and that year married and re- ceived property there from his father-in-law. deed dated September 8, 1725. Later it ap- pears that he removed to Norwalk, and thence to South East, Putnam county. New York.

He married Sarah, daughter of William Belden, of Wilton, Con- necticut, who was resident of Deerfield, Mas- sachusetts, in the fall of 1696, at the time of the French and Indian raid on that town. In 1769 Mr. Crane removed from Bedford, West- chester county, New York, to Judeah, now Washington, Litchfield county, Connecticut. Soon after his wife and five children died, within two months of one another. In 1758 he was captain of a military company in West- chester county, from which men were taken for service in the French war, for the pur- pose of "ranging and scouring the frontier."

(V) John, son of Zebulon Crane, was born November 24, 1742, died at Carmel, New York, June 9, 1827. He married, March 1, 1764, Tamar, daughter of John and Hannah Car- penter, of New Castle, Westchester county, New York (see Carpenter XIII). A farm deeded to Joseph Carpenter, an ancestor of the above, in 1736, is still in possession of the Crane family. In 1769, with his wife and two small children, he removed from New Castle to a farm of two hundred and fifty acres, sitt- ated near Lake Mahopac, and there, in 1772, he built the first frame house in that part of the country. It was a public inn, where town business was transacted and town meetings 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 Putnam coun- ty, after it was established. He served. in the revolution : Private, Third Company, New York Line, March 2 to July 15, 1777; captain, Fourth Company, Seventh Regiment (Lud- dington's regiment), elected March 12, 1776. His commission, which he received from Gov- ernor Clinton, is now in the possession of his youngest grandson, Benjamin T. Crane. Dur- 7
ing the war General Charles Scott, with his staff, made his headquarters for a time at John Crane's inn, and the continental troops, in going from the headquarters, at Salem, West- chester, to West Point, often stopped there. An interesting story is told of one of his ex- ploits during the war. Receiving information that some fifty or sixty Tories, enlisted in the British army, were to be mustered into the service on a certain night by British officers, sent from New York for the purpose, he re- solved to prevent the muster, and, if possible, capture the whole party. He summoned to his aid two resolute men from the highlands, who, armed with muskets and bayonets, ac- companied him after dark to the rendezvous of the Tories, a secluded log house, having only one door and one window. On arriving at the place, he became assured that the Tories and officers had assembled and then quietly stationed his two men, one at the door and one at the window, and riding furiously about the house in a loud voice delivered orders station- ing imaginary troops about the building. The men in the house were deceived. When one attempted to look out he was met with a bayonet thrust from the guard at the door. Crane demanded the surrender of the party and declined to parley. The Tories gave in and the two guards were sent into bind the prisoners. The rage and humiliation of the helpless prisoners may be imagined when they discovered how they had been tricked. At the first town meeting of Carmel, April 7, 1795, he was chosen town clerk, and also com- missioner of highways. He was active in church work, and with his family went on horseback from their home near Mahopac to attend service in the old log church near "Tilly Foster Mines," and later aided in the erection and support of the Gilead Presbyterian Church, at Carmel.
He was an unflinching patriot, and a notable man on account of his integrity and superior business capacity in the management of public matters. In his private life he was a man of great kindness of heart, a firm friend and an indulgent parent. In person he was of medium size, of good proportion, with mild blue eyes and a great dignity of manner. His children and grandchildren were endowed with unusual attainments and of high personal character. His wife Tamar was born December 1, 1747, died at Carmel, January 1, 1823.

Joseph Carpenter settled at Warwick, where he had a corn mill. His house was on the south side of the Pau- tuxet river, at the wading place near the falls. As early as 1663 he was at Long Island, to make negotiations with the Indians for the purchase of land at Oyster Bay, but did not settle there until 1667, as he had considerable trouble in getting possession of the land, where he proposed to erect a sawmill and a fulling mill. He built a house about 1668, at what is now Glen Cove, which continued to be used as a dwelling-house until 1835. It was the first house there and the site may still be seen. His wife died about 1673, and he married (sec- ond ) Ann, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (Luther) Weeks. She was baptized, with her brothers, Samuel, John and Joseph, in the Dutch church at New York, in 1647.

As he was not of age, a portion of land was set off for him and held by the proprietors until he reach- ed legal age. He was an early settler at Hemp- stead, Long Island, and, March 17, 1657, was made townsman there.
