Relatively little has been published on
the CRANE lines that in the United States begin with Jasper CRANE
[ca 1605-1681], apparently the first of that family to arrive
in America. Ellery B. Crane's (1900) "Genealogy of the Crane
Family" is a good place to start to find details [1]. The
"Genepool"
website has a number of links to early Crane info [2].
On this webpage, I've picked up with the fifth generation from
Jasper CRANE, following this line: Jasper-1, Azariah-2, Azariah-3,
Moses-4, and Daniel Prince-5. I've put very little effort into
the first four generations, mainly restating what was in Ellery
Crane's 1900 work. Unless otherwise noted, the information for
the first four generations is from Ellery B. Crane [1]. I'd be
happy to hear of any updates and corrections. There seems to be
very little available in print or on the Web on Daniel Prince
Crane and his descendants, so I have presented what I've been
able to find out. Please
feel free to comment, question, correct, or provide additional
information.

===============================
FIRST GENERATION
1 Jasper CRANE -
For someone whose later life is well documented, and who had many
descendants, the origins of Jasper CRANE are remarkably obscure.
As far as I can tell, there is no certain information on his parentage.
His birth year has been variously given from ca 1605 [1] to 1610
[2], in England, but with no primary source for any date. There
is no certain record of his arrival in North America. His wife
at the time of his death in 1681 was named Alice [1], but her
family name is unknown. (I have seen it on internet websites as
Alice LEAVE, but with no documentation.)
Jasper may have lived in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 1630s.
On 4 June 1639 he was one of the signers of the document establishing
the New Haven Colony, in what was to become Connecticut. There
he was a merchant, surveyor, and magistrate. He left New Haven
about 1652, moving to the new settlement of Branford, Connecticut.
In 1666, dissatisfied with the religious implications of the merger
of the New Haven and Connecticut colonies, a group of Branford
citizens moved to Newark, New Jersey. Jasper CRANE was apparently
not in the first emigrants to New Jersey, but followed with others
within a year. He was involved in Newark government and business
until his death in 1681.
Children of Jasper, possibly involving more than one wife:
a. John CRANE (ca1635-1694); married 1st Elizabeth FOOTE; m. 2nd
Hannah ____
b. Hannah CRANE (ca 1639- ); m. 1st Thomas HUNTINGTON; m. 2nd
John WARD
c. Delivered CRANE (12 July 1642-)
d. Mercy (or Mary) CRANE (ca1645-26 Oct 1671); m. Jonathan BELL
e. Micah CRANE (ca1647-); did not marry
2-f. Azariah CRANE (1649-1730)
g. Jasper CRANE (2 April 1651-6 March 1712); m. Joanna SWAINE
======================
SECOND GENERATION
2. Azariah CRANE [Jasper-1]
was born in 1649 in New Haven Colony. He moved with his family
to Branford, Connecticut, about 1652, and then to Newark, New
Jersey in 1666. He lived most of his later life at Cranetown (now
Montclair), New Jersey, where he helped establish and served as
a deacon in the religious Society at the Mountain. He died at
Cranetown 5 November 1730.
He was married to Mary TREAT, daughter of Robert TREAT, later
Governor of Connecticut. Mary was born in 1849 at New Haven, and
died 12 November 1704. Ellery Crane [1] lists nine children:
a. Hannah CRANE m. John PLUM
b. Nathaniel CRANE (ca 1680-1760); m. Elizabeth GIBSON
3-c. Azariah CRANE(1682 -)
d. Robert CRANE (1684-14 July 1755); m. Phebe ___
e. Jane CRANE (1686-12 Sept 1741); m. John RICHARDS
f. Mary CRANE (1693- ); m. BALDWIN
g. John CRANE (1695-5 Sept 1776); m. 1st Abigail ____, m. 2nd
Rebecca ____
h. Richard CRANE died in infancy
i. Jasper CRANE died in infancy
============================
THIRD GENERATION
3. Azariah CRANE [Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born 1682 in New Jersey (probably Cranetown), and
lived at West Bloomfield and Cranetown. He apparently was married
twice, first to Rebecca [probably PRINCE], who was born ca 1691
and died 15 June 1739; his second wife's name is apparently unknown.
I have seen no record of his death.
His eight known children were apparently all by his first wife:
a. Rebecca CRANE (6 Sept 1707-)
b. Azariah CRANE ( -1752)
c. Job CRANE m. Abigail DODD
d. Gamaliel CRANE m. (2nd?) Susanna DODD
e. Ezekiel CRANE m. Elizabeth HOLLOWAY
f. Josiah CRANE m. Joanna _____
4-g. Moses CRANE (1731- )
h. Stephen CRANE ( -1794); m. Rhoda HOLLOWAY
=====================
FOURTH GENERATION
4. Moses CRANE [Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 23 April 1730, probably at Cranetown, New Jersey, and died 15 February 1795 at Parsippany, New Jersey. He married 1st Susannah BRANT 1 March 1750, who was born ca 1730 and died 14 August 1776. He married 2nd widow Catherine [LITTELL] ROGERS of Littleton, New Jersey, who had six children by her first marriage.
Children of Moses CRANE and Susannah BRANT:
a. Amos CRANE
b. Stephen CRANE ( -24 Jan 1834); m. 1st Polly MASCO; m. 2nd Agnes

h. Jonas CRANE
i. Phebe CRANE (22 Feb 1783- ); m. Edward COMSON
j. Elizabeth CRANE (6 Feb 1787-1829); m. Caleb WOODWORTH
=========================
FIFTH GENERATION
5. Daniel Prince CRANE [Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 1751 (baptized 29 September 1751 Hanover [New Jersey] Presbyterian Church) at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. He apparently lived at Parsippany his entire life. Information about him appears sparse. He was Parsippany assessor of rates in December 1777, and was appointed Parsippany assessor in May 1787. He was reportedly very active in local church affairs, "his name appearing frequently in the minutes" [4]. He married Phebe BURNET, daughter of Matthias BURNET, on 29 November 1774 [1]. Daniel apparently died before 1830, as I can find no record of him after June 1818 in the Morris County tax lists [5] and he does not seem to be enumerated in the 1830 federal census. There is a woman in the 70-80 age bracket in Ralph CRANE's household that could be his mother, Phebe (BURNET) CRANE [6]. I haven't found any death information on Phebe.
Children of Daniel Prince CRANE and Phebe
BURNET [7]:
6-Rachel CRANE (ca 1778-17 September 1841)
7-John CRANE (ca. 1783-15 October 1863)
8-Phoebe CRANE (11 May 1783- )
9-Ralph CRANE (ca. 31 August 1789-2 November 1857 )
==============================
SIXTH GENERATION
6. Rachel CRANE [Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1778 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey [8]. She grew up in the area and ca 1795 married Moses Mount WARD. Moses, reportedly the son of Nathaniel WARD, was born ca 1771 at Parsippany. He was a cooper, and probably a farmer. Rachel reportedly died 17 September 1841, and is buried at German Valley, Morris County, Pennsylvania. In his later years, Moses lived with his son Daniel Harvey WARD in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey [9], and reportedly died 5 October 1855.
Children of Rachel CRANE and Moses Mount
WARD:
10. Maria WARD (ca 1796- )
11. Julia Ann WARD (ca 1798- )
12. John Burchan WARD (ca 1800- )
13. Daniel Harvey WARD (ca 1803- )
14. William Atkin WARD (26 April 1806-6 August 1864)
15. Ralph Crane WARD (ca 1808- )
7. John CRANE [Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1783 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. He grew up in the area, where he was a farmer and a cooper (barrel maker) [10, 11]. He married Mary ("Polly") MINTON before 1805. Mary, the daughter of Lemuel MINTON, ca 1785 in Morris County. John died at Parsippany 15 October 1863, and is buried in the Vail Cemetery, Hanover Township, Morris County [12]. After John's death, Mary went to live with her daughter Julia (CRANE) HOVEY and family, at Honey Creek, Iowa County, Iowa [13]. She died there 4 December 1871, and is buried in the Victor Memorial Cemetery, Victor, Iowa County [14].
Children of John CRANE and Mary MINTON:
16-Lemuel Minton CRANE (ca 1805- )
17-Daniel B. CRANE (ca1806- )
18-James Harvey CRANE (29 October 1808-7 October 1878)
19-Caroline CRANE (ca 1810? -)
20-Julia CRANE (ca1819-)
21-Charles Henry CRANE (21 September 1826-25 September 1868)
8. Phoebe CRANE [Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was reportedly born 11 May 1783 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. I have found no further information [15].
9. Ralph CRANE [Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 31 August
1789 in Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey [12]. He apparently
lived his entire life in the area, where he farmed. He married
Clarissa ______ [10]. He died 2 November 1857 and is buried at
the Vail Cemetery, Hanover Township, Morris County, New Jersey
[12]. I have been unable to find Clarissa after the 1850 Federal
census.
I have found no children that I can positively attribute to Ralph
and Clarissa. The 1830 census included one male between the ages
of 5 and 9, who could be one of their children [6]. If they married
by ca 1810, they could have had others who were already out of
the household by 1830.
==========================================
SEVENTH GENERATION
10. Maria WARD [Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1796 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. She reportedly married David SALMON or SOLOMON 28 November 1818 [8, 16]. I have found no source information for that marriage, or any other information on Maria, so far.
11. Julia Ann WARD [Rachel-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was reportedly
born 6 March 1797 in Morris County, New Jersey, and married 3
January 1821 William Norcross HENNION [8]. I haven't found any
specific confirmation for this marriage, but the information is
well supported by New Jersey tax records and Federal census records.
William HENNION was reportedly born 26 August 1794 in New Jersey.
They lived in Hanover Township, Morris County, New Jersey, where
William was a wagon maker and merchant [10, 11]. William does
not appear in the 1870 Federal census, lending support to his
reported death date of 2 March 1866. In July 1870, Julia was in
the household of her son Horatio HENNION in Hanover Township [17].
Julia reportedly died 1 October 1872 [8].
Children of Julia Ann WARD and William Norcross HENNION:
22. Louisa Augusta HENNION (25 September 1823- )
23. Francis Fernando HENNION (27 January 1826- )
24. Horatio HENNION (20 August 1827- )
25. Lucilla Stanley HENNION (17 February 1830- )
26. Souzanna Maria HENNION (ca 1834- )
27. William Wallace HENNION (14 February 1835- )
28. Francis Victoria HENNION (26 August 1838- )
29. Augusta HENNION (ca 1849- )
12. John Burchan WARD [Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was reportedly born ca 1800 at Parsippany,
Morris County, New Jersey [8], where he married Sybele BURNET
[16]. I have not been able to positively find them in any Federal
censuses or other records.
13. Daniel Harvey WARD [Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1803 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. He married before 1830 Nancy ______, born in New Jersey ca 1808. They lived in Washington Township in Morris County all their married life, with Daniel making his living as a wheelwright. Nancy apparently died between August 1870 and June 1880 [20, 21]. In June 1880, Daniel was living with his son Thomas WARD in Washington Township, age 77.
Children of Daniel Harvey and Julia (___)
WARD:
30. William WARD (ca 1830- )
31. Daniel WARD (ca 1833- )
32. Jane WARD (ca 1835- )
33. Marshall WARD (ca 1840- )
34. Ellen WARD (ca 1842- )
35. Thomas Y. WARD (ca 1845- )
36. Martin WARD (ca 1848- )
14. William Atkin WARD [Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was reportedly born 26 April 1806 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey, and married Sarah (Sally) HUGHES 21 October 1830 in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Sarah, the daughter of John HUGHES, was reportedly born 14 February 1807 in Washington County [8]. I haven't found any concrete support for this information, but it matches reasonably well with the Federal census data (although, from census records, Sarah's birth date was more likely 1808-1810). From the census records [18, 19], it appears they lived in West Virginia for several years after their marriage, then moved to Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania by 1837. William was a dentist there. William and Sarah both reportedly died in 1864 [8]; the family was not immediately locatable in the 1870 census, which may support that report.
Children of William Atkin WARD and Sarah
HUGHES:
37. Amanda WARD (ca 1832- )
38. Margaret WARD (ca 1834- )
39. William W. WARD (ca 1837- )
40. Charles L. WARD (ca 1838- )
41. Mary WARD (ca 1841- )
42. Frank WARD (ca 1843- )
43. Julia M. WARD (ca 1845- )
44. Sarah J. WARD (ca 1848- )
15. Ralph Crane WARD [Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was reportedly born ca 1808 at Parsippany, Morris County,
New Jersey. He may have married Sarah POST ca 1828 [8, 16]. I
have no other information about him.
16. Lemuel Minton CRANE [John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born ca 1805 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey.
Presumably he attended schools in Morris County and worked with
his father John CRANE, farming or making barrels. By about 1830
he had moved to Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, and ca 1830
(either in Parsippany or Newark) he married Jane Maria De MILT.
Jane, whose parents are so far unknown to me, was born ca 1814,
probably in New York [22, 23]. Lemuel was a cabinet maker and,
with his brothers Daniel B. CRANE and James H. CRANE, manufactured
and sold cabinets in Newark until 1849 [24]. About 1842, the brothers
established a furniture warehouse in Mobile, Alabama, and Daniel
moved there to operate that end of the business. The formal business
establishment of L. M. & D. B. CRANE appears to have been
terminated in Newark about 1847, although Lemuel continued to
work as a cabinet maker in Newark another two years. In 1849,
he moved his family to Mobile to work with his brother Daniel
in the furniture warehouse there, but by September 1850 had moved
to Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, where he continued to work
as a cabinet maker [23, 25].
Between 1851 and 1859, Jane [De MILT] CRANE died, and Lemuel married
2nd Adrianna (____) WING before June 1860 [26]. Adrianna, whose
surname I have not yet determined, was born ca 1828 in New Jersey.
She married 1st Thomas B. WING (born ca 1824 England), who was
alive in July 1850 [23]. She may have married 2nd _____ BALDING
[27].
Both Lemuel and Adrianna were alive in Cincinnati in June 1880
[28]. I have no later information on Adrianna; at least Lemuel
was alive in 1890, when he was listed as a cabinet maker, living
on Warsaw Avenue near Ross Avenue in Cincinnati [29]. I haven't
discovered death dates or burial places for either.

17. Daniel B. CRANE [John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] [30] was born ca 1806 at Parsippany, Morris County,
New Jersey. Presumably he attended schools in Morris County and
worked with his father John CRANE, farming or making barrels.
By about 1830 he had moved to Newark, Essex County, New Jersey.
Daniel was a cabinet maker and, with his brothers Lemuel M. CRANE
and James H. CRANE, manufactured and sold cabinets in Newark [24].
About 1842, the brothers established a furniture warehouse in
Mobile, Alabama, and Daniel moved his family there to operate
that part of the business. The formal business establishment of
L. M. & D. B. CRANE appears to have been terminated in Newark
about 1847, but the business continued in Mobile, probably until
Daniel's death in 1860.
Daniel married Esther E. MILLER 25 June 1834 at Westfield, Union
County, New Jersey. Esther was born 17 November 1809 in Westfield,
New Jersey, the daughter of Ezra MILLER and Mary HIGH [93]. Daniel
died in Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama February 1860 [31]. Esther
was still alive there in 1880 [32]; presumably she died there,
as most of her children were living in Mobile until after 1900,
but I haven't found a record of her death or burial.

18. James Harvey CRANE [John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born 29 October 1808 at Parsippany, Morris County,
New Jersey. Presumably he attended schools in Morris County and
worked with his father John CRANE, farming or making barrels.
By about 1830 he had moved to Newark, Essex County, New Jersey.
James was a cabinet maker and, with his brothers Lemuel M. CRANE
and Daniel B. CRANE, manufactured and sold cabinets in Newark
[24]. About 1842, the brothers established a furniture warehouse
in Mobile, Alabama, and Daniel moved his family there to operate
that end of the business. James and Lemuel continued to operate
the business in Newark. In 1846 Lemuel was still working as a
cabinet maker, but James advertised himself as an engine manufacturer
[33].
About 1832, James Harvey CRANE married Sarah Theresa BRADFORD,
probably in Newark. Sarah, the daughter of William BRADFORD and
Elizabeth (probably) HARRISON [34], was born 2 October 1813 in
New York City, New York.
Early in 1850, James moved his family to near Morgantown, Monongalia
County, (now, West) Virginia, where he was engaged in "manufacturing"
(likely the steam engine manufacturing he had started in Newark)
[35, 36]. About 1854 the family moved again, this time to Warren,
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where James was involved in the
building of a rolling mill (for the production of sheet and bar
metal) [36]. Late in 1856 or early in 1857, they moved west to
Clark County, Missouri. James bought 1,200 acres of land 15 April
1857, intending a major farming operation. His plans did not work
out, and he was forced to sell the land back to the original owner
25 August 1860 [37]. His farming aspirations apparently continued
to go wrong, for in 1862 he was renting land from his son-in-law
Thomas SCHOONOVER, and by 1864 owed rent for the previous three
years. He agreed to a lien on all his farm property and crops
until he could pay the back rent (which he apparently had done
by 25 September 1866, when the lien was cancelled) [38].
The Cranes lived in Madison Township, Clark County, Missouri,
until ca 1874, when the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County,
California. There, James worked as an insurance agent for Fireman's
Fund, San Francisco [39]. He and Theresa were living in Oakland
with their son Charles W. CRANE, when James died 7 October 1878
[36]. Theresa died in Oakland in 1899.

19. Caroline CRANE [John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] is included in the family of John CRANE and
Mary MINTON on the basis of an entry (only her name, no details)
in the records of the First Presbyterian Church of Morristown,
New Jersey [41]. There is plenty of room between the earliest
and latest known births in this family to accommodate several
more children, but we have so far located no information on a
Caroline. One possible clue: the records of the First Presbyterian
Church of Morristown contain a record on 25 March 1809 that "a
child of John CRANE died suddenly" [55]. John CRANE, husband
of Mary MINTON, seems to have been the only John CRANE in the
church at that time, and the date of the child's death fits within
the other family records.
20. Julia CRANE [John-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was
born in 1819 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey. We have
no information on her early history. In April 1843 she married
Frederick HOVEY [42].
Fred HOVEY was born in Woodstock, Windham County, Connecticut
in 1817. I haven't yet determined his parents' names. He attended
academy in Woodstock until he was fifteen, and then attended Nicholas
Academy (Dudley, Massachusetts). He taught and attended school
until he was twenty-one. In 1839 he entered the law office of
Hayes & Chetwood, in Newark, New Jersey, as a law student.
He afterward studied one year with Lieutenant--governor Stoddard,
and also with Judge Backus. He continued teaching, and pursuing
his law studies until 1843, when he was admitted to the bar in
Brooklyn, Windham County, Connecticut. The same year he opened
his first office in Eastford, Windham County [42].
In 1846, Fred and Julia moved to Thompson, Windham County, Connecticut,
where Fred opened another law office. They remained there until
1855, where in addition to his private practice he held the office
of District Attorney two terms. Poor health caused by overwork
forced him to shut down his law offices. About 1855, the family
moved to Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, where Fred entered
into another law practice, with Merrill Barlow, a former student
of his.
In 1865, Julia and their children moved to Honey Creek, Iowa County,
Iowa, where son Charles HOVEY had purchased farm land. In the
fall of 1866, Fred followed them to Iowa and, in 1867, he opened
the first law office in Victor, Iowa County. Poor health once
again forced him to abandon his law practice [42].
Julia (CRANE) HOVEY died in 1895, and was buried in the Victor,
Iowa, cemetery. Fred lived at Honey Creek with his daughters until
some time after June 1900 [43], then moved with his daughter Mary
Adelaide HOVEY to Thorsby, Chilton County, Alabama. In 1902 he
was struck by a freight train, and died from the injuries 21 May
1902 [44]. His probate was handled in Iowa County, Iowa, but he
does not seem to be buried there.

21. Charles Henry CRANE [John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born 21 September 1826 at Parsippany, Morris County,
New Jersey. Presumably in his youth, he attended school and worked
at farming and barrel making with his father John CRANE. Our first
certain record of him was as an employee in his brothers' cabinet
shop and furniture store in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey,
in 1845. At the time, he was living with his brother James H.
CRANE [45]. In the next couple years, he may have been in school
or perhaps in training, for in 1848 he was listed in the Newark
directory as a dentist [46].
In 1849, Charles left New Jersey for the California gold rush.
I haven't determined if he went overland or by sea, He mined for
gold in Calaveras County, California, at least until October 1850
[47, 48]. From 1852 to at least November 1854, he was living in
San Francisco, practicing dentistry [49, 50]. He may have lived
in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, for awhile in the mid-1850s,
or may have just been visiting there. In any event, he was around
long enough to meet Anna Christina MOLTHROP and marry her in Portland
7 April 1858 [51]. Anna, daughter of William E. MOULTHROP and
Grace B. ___, was born March 1840 in New Haven, New Haven County,
Connecticut. Her family came to Oregon in 1851 and settled in
the Portland area. Within a year of their marriage, Charles and
Anna moved to San Francisco [52], and lived there until ca 1864
when they moved to Boise, Ada County, Idaho Territory. There,
Charles joined with his nephews William B. CRANE, Charles W. CRANE
and Lewis CRANE developing a farm and ranch that supplied meat,
fresh fruit and fresh vegetables to Boise and the surrounding
mining communities. On 25 September 1868 he was stabbed to death
while trying to stop a fight between Lewis CRANE and another farm
workers [53]. He was buried in Boise Cemetery. After his death,
Anna and their sons moved back to Portland, Oregon, where they
lived with various MOLTHROP relatives until Anna's death 29 November
1923 [54].
Charles H. CRANE and Anna C. MOLTHROP had
children:
70- Ralph CRANE (1859- )
71- Frederick Hovey CRANE (July 1860-3 December 1947)
72- George Molthrop CRANE (ca 1862- )
73-Charles Henry CRANE (ca June 1867-3 January 1869)

Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was reportedly born 25 September 1823 in
Morris County, New Jersey [6]. I have no further information on
her.
23. Francis Fernando HENNION [Julia WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5,

January 1826 in Morris County, New Jersey [6].
24. Horatio HENNION
[Julia WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born 20 August 1827 in Morris County, New Jersey
[6]. The first certain adult record I have of him is from Monongalia
County, (West) Virginia, in August 1850, where he was employed
as a foundry worker [35]. Apparently he wandered widely for the
next twenty years [57]. About 1855 he married Margaret Jane SERVICE.
Margaret, the daughter of James SERVICE and Margaret Jane WILSON,
was born in Union County, South Carolina, 3 April 1837. The marriage
likely occurred in Georgia, as Federal census records indicate
they had children born in Georgia between 1856 and 1862 [217].
The family moved from Georgia ca 1863, as another child was reportedly
born in North Carolina ca 1864. By 1866, Horatio and his family
were in Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey [218].
Like his father, Horatio was a farmer and wheelwright. He died
in Parsippany between June 1900 and April 1910. Margaret Jane
was living with some of her children at Parsippany in January
1920 [58], then moved with them to Hinsdale, Berkshire County,
Massachusetts. She died at Hinsdale 26 June 1923 [215].

County, mostly around Schooley's Mountain in Washington Township.
He was a stone cutter and monument builder, having the T. Y. Ward
Company for many years, which employed most of his sons and grandsons
[9, 21, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65].
About 1871, Thomas married Isabella _______, who was born in New
Jersey May 1846. Her father was reportedly born in New Jersey,
her mother in England [62]. Isabella died in Morris County between
20 April 1910 and 13 January 1920. Thomas apparently died between

Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born February 1832 in Newark,
Essex County, New Jersey [71]. He lived in Newark until 1849,
when his father Lemuel CRANE moved the family to Mobile, Mobile
County, Alabama, to work with his brother Daniel in the Crane
furniture warehouse there. By September 1850 the family had moved
to Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio [23, 25].
John married ca 1858 in either Cincinnati or St. Louis, Missouri,
to Ellen S. "Nellie" _____. Ellen was born in Alton,
Madison County, Illinois, November 1838. Her father was reportedly
born in England, and her mother in Switzerland [70]. I have not
been able to determine their surname. Either shortly before or
shortly after their marriage, John moved to St. Louis, St. Louis
County, Missouri, where he was a furniture dealer [68, 72]. He
and Ellen lived in St. Louis the rest of their lives, and John
stayed in the business of manufacturing and selling furniture
[69, 70, 71]. John died in February 1903, and Ellen in March 1909

that of the family of her sister Sarah H. (CRANE) JUNKERMAN [26,
28, 74, 75]. By 1910 she had moved with her sister to Thorsby,
Chilton County, Alabama [76]. She died there 20 December 1910
[92]; I haven't found her burial location.
47. Lemuel Minton CRANE Jr. [Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1839
in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. He lived in Newark until
1849, when his father Lemuel CRANE Sr. moved the family to Mobile,
Mobile County, Alabama, to work with his brother Daniel in the
Crane furniture warehouse there. By September 1850 the family
had moved to Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio [23, 25]. Lemuel
stayed in Cincinnati until 1860 [26], then moved to St. Louis,
St. Louis County, Missouri, where he worked as a clerk in his
brother John CRANE's furniture store [72]. In the Civil War, he
served as a private in Company D of the Benton Cadets [78, 79].
I have found no information on Lemuel from 1862 until June 1870,
when he is living and working as a cabinet maker in Louisville,
Pottawatomie County, Kansas [80]. He was married to Gertrude Spalding
SNELL, daughter of Orville SNELL and Hannah Leonard GREEN. Gertrude
was born in September 1849 at Athens, Bradford County, Pennsylvania
[81, 82, 83, 84]. They stayed in Kansas until at least January
1872 (a child born), but by 1876 they were in St. Louis, Missouri,
where Lemuel died 10 September 1876 [85]. I have not located his
burial place.
Within a year or so of Lemuel's death, Gertrude moved their family
to her hometown of Athens, Pennsylvania, where her mother and
most of her siblings still lived. She lived there there the rest
of her life, dying after January 1920 and before April 1930 (an
unverified Internet date is 1 November 1921) [82, 86, 87, 88,
89]. I have not located her burial location.
Lemuel M. CRANE Jr. and Gertrude Spaulding SNELL had two children:
95. Gertrude Minton CRANE (1872 - 1924)
96. John Minton CRANE (18 September 1876 - 4 January 1938)
48. Sarah Anna CRANE [Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born in July 1842 in Newark, Essex County,
New Jersey [74]. She lived in Newark until 1849, when her father
Lemuel CRANE moved the family to Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama,
to work with his brother Daniel in the Crane furniture warehouse
there. By September 1850 the family had moved to Cincinnati, Hamilton
County, Ohio [23, 25]. She lived in Cincinnati until June 1860
[26], then apparently moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where she
worked as a clerk in the furniture store of her brother John H.
CRANE [68].
About 1862, Sarah married Augustus JUNKERMAN [90], probably in
Cincinnati. JUNKERMAN was born in Germany (Prussia Westphalia)
in December 1830, and immigrated to the United States in 1848
[74]. He was probably married before his marriage to Sarah, as
there was a 21-year old son, Augustus JUNKERMAN, living with them
at the time of the 1880 census. I have not been able to locate
Augustus Sr. for certain until June 1880 in Cincinnati, when he
was a music superintendent in a local school [28]. In 1900, he
was a superintendent of schools in Cincinnati [74]. He died between
June 1900 and April 1910. I have not found a death date or burial
location.
After her husband's death, Sarah moved with her sister Maria CRANE,
to be with her one surviving son in Thorsby, Chilton County, Alabama.
She died there in September 1928 [76, 77, 91, 92]. I haven't found
her burial location.
Sarah and her husband had four children, not all of whom have
been identified:
97. JUNKERMAN child (ca 1864- )
98. Clara JUNKERMAN (ca 1866- )
99. JUNKERMAN child
100. Howard C. JUNKERMAN (2 July 1877- 24 December 1956 )
49. Julia Caroline CRANE [Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1844 in Newark, Essex County,
New Jersey. ]. She lived in Newark until 1849, when her father
Lemuel CRANE moved the family to Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama,
to work with his brother Daniel in the Crane furniture warehouse
there. By September 1850 the family had moved to Cincinnati, Hamilton
County, Ohio [23, 25]. She was living in her father's household
in Cincinnati in June 1860 [26]. I have been unable to identify
her after that date.
50. Georgianna S. CRANE [Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1847
in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. ]. She lived in Newark until
1849, when her father Lemuel CRANE moved the family to Mobile,
Mobile County, Alabama, to work with his brother Daniel in the
Crane furniture warehouse there. By September 1850 the family
had moved to Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio [23, 25]. She was
living in her father's household in Cincinnati in June 1860 [26].
I have been unable to identify her after that date.
51. J. Mentor CRANE [Daniel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1840 in Newark, Essex County,
New Jersey. About 1842, Mentor's father and uncles, who were cabinetmakers
in Newark, established a furniture warehouse in Mobile, Alabama,
and Daniel moved his family there to operate that part of the
business. Mentor was with the family in Mobile through 1860 [94,
95], then in 1861 enlisted in the Confederate Army (Gage's Artillery
Battery, Company E, 2nd Light Artillery Batallion). Gage's Battery
was active around Mobile until surrender to the Union Army in
May 1865, but I haven't yet determined if Mentor served through
the entire period [78, 99].
So far, I have no records of Mentor CRANE in the late 1860s or
early 1870s. Part of the time, he was apparently studying for
the clergy because about 1878 he became minister of the Presbyterian
Church at Shiloh, Marengo County, Alabama. That appointment lasted
until 1883 [100]. He was unmarried in 1880 [98]. So far, I have
no information on him after 1883.
52. Mary A. CRANE [Daniel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1]was born ca 1842 at Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama [94]. She lived her entire life with her siblings in the Springhill area of Mobile, never marrying [32, 95, 96, 97, 101, 102] . She was a teacher and school administrator, including serving as Assistant Principal of Miss Mary Bagley's Select Female School in the 1890s [104]. She died between January 1920 and April 1930; I haven't yet determined the date and burial location.
53. Marcius B. CRANE [Daniel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1844 at Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama [94]. He lived his entire life with his siblings in the Springhill area of Mobile, except in the early 1860s when he served in the Civil War in Gage's Artillery Battery of the Confederate Army [78, 99]. He worked as a grocery clerk early in his career [96], then was a bookkeeper for the J. R. Edwards Company, and of the Singer Sewing Machine Manufacturing Company [32, 97, 101, 104]. He never married. He died in Mobile 14 October 1914 [92]. I haven't determined his burial location.
54. Asenath CRANE [Daniel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1846 in Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama [94]. She lived her entire life with her siblings in the Springhill area of Mobile, never marrying [32, 95, 96, 97, 101]. She was a teacher in private schools [104]. Her death occurred 19 February 1918 [92]; I haven't yet determined the burial location.
55. Neander CRANE [Daniel-7,
John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1]
was born ca 1852 in Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama [95]. He lived
his life in Mobile with his siblings as long as they lived, including
after ca 1882 when he married Sarah A. "Sallie" _______
[32, 96, 97, 101, 102, 103]. Sallie was born ca 1855 in Alabama;
I have not determined her parents' names, but giving their son
the middle name of "BURNETT" may be significant [105].
Neander worked for the Singer Sewing Machine Company his entire
career, first as a salesman and later as city manager [104]. He
died in Mobile in June 1932 [92]; I haven't found his burial location.
Salle was alive in April 1930 [103]; I haven't traced her beyond
that date.
Neander and Sallie CRANE had three children:
101. William Burnett CRANE (26 October 1883- )
102. Unidentified CRANE
103. Unidentified CRANE
56. Angelina CRANE [James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born in September 1833 in
Newark, Essex County, New Jersey [106]. She moved with her family
from Newark to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850
[35, 36]; to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [36];
and late in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri.
About 1859, probably in Clark County, she married David BARNES
[108]. David was born in New York ca 1831; his father was reportedly
born in Connecticut, and his mother in Massachusetts, but I haven't
yet identified them [107].
Soon after their marriage, Angelina and David moved to Wauwautosa,
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, where they farmed and lived for the
rest of their lives [106, 109, 110]. David died between 1880 and
1900, but I haven't found a death record for him yet. Angelina
died 5 August 1902 [111].
David and Angelina (CRANE) BARNES had four children:
104. Cora BARNES (ca 1862-)
105. Julia Adelaide BARNES (ca 1864 - 8 October 1889)
106. Orleanna BARNES (ca 1873-)
107. Charles BARNES (ca 1875-)
57. William Bradford CRANE [James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 26 April 1835 in Newark, Essex County,
New Jersey. He lived with his family in Newark until late 1849
or early 1850 when they moved to near Morgantown, Monongalia County,
Virginia (now West Virginia) [112, 113]. In 1854 they moved again
to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania [113, 114].
I haven't been able to determine what schooling William had, but
assume he attended primary schools in Newark. His brother James
Elbert CRANE attended the "Morgantown Academy" [113]
(probably the Monongalia Academy, as no record exists of a "Morgantown
Academy"), and William may have attended there, also. His
later occupations show a strong understanding and interest in
hardware and the mechanics of mine operations, so he probably
worked with his father manufacturing engine parts and constructing
a steel rolling mill. In 1854 he was working for Alexander McCLURE
who owned a timber company and had a sawmill and box building
company [115, 116].
William left Pennsylvania for Missouri in late 1854 [115]. He
appears to have settled first at Canton, Lewis County, Missouri,
where he married Mary Louisa WILLIAMS ca 1857. Mary, the daughter
of Dr. James Thomas WILLIAMS and Louisa CECIL, was born in Lewis
County in 1841 [117]. William and Mary lived in Canton in 1857
and 1858, where William had a wagon and carriage shop and also
a mercantile store with Joseph W. HOKE [118, 119]. They apparently
lived for a year or less near Independence, Missouri, where William
ran a ferry across the Missouri River [120]. By July 1860 they
were living in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, where William
had a hardware and mercantile store [121, 122]. He was appointed
manager of the Pilot Knob Iron Company (Iron County, Missouri)
in November 1860, a position he held until the Civil War forced
closure of the plant in early 1862. As he was leaving Pilot Knob
with his family to visit friends and family in Canton, Missouri,
Mary became ill and died 9 February 1862. Her body was taken to
Canton, where she was buried in the Forest Grove Cemetery [123].
Being deeply in debt and with few prospects
for making money in War-depressed Missouri, William decided to
leave his infant daughter with her maternal grandparents, and
go West to the mining areas of Montana. He and his brother Lewis
CRANE took the steamer "Emilie" up the Missouri River
to Fort Benton, Montana. They visited the Montana mines briefly,
but the areas didn't look promising to them, so they traveled
on to Oregon, arriving in Salem in August 1862 [123, 124]. William
immediately found a job with the Oregon Steam Navigation Company
(OSNC), working on their steamboats on the Columbia River. In
the next eight years, he worked the mining camps of eastern Oregon,
western Idaho, and eastern Nevada, partly on assignment from the
directors of OSNC and partly on his own. With his brother Lewis
and his uncle Charles H. CRANE, he developed a farm near Boise,
Ada County, Idaho, from which they supplied the mining camps with
fruits and vegetables.
On 8 December 1870 in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, William
B. CRANE married Alice Jane McCULLY [125, 126]. Alice, twin sister
of Frances Ann McCULLY was born 21 August 1851 in New London,
Henry County, Iowa, daughter of Asa Alfred McCULLY and Hannah
Keziah WATERS. Frances soon died. In March 1852, Alice left New
London with her parents and other relatives, and crossed the plains
to Oregon, arriving in August 1852 [127]. The family lived first
in Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon, before moving to Salem, Marion
County, Oregon in late 1863 or early 1864. The family moved again
in late 1870 to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, but returned
to Salem the following year. Alice Jane presumably attended public
schools in Harrisburg and Salem, and is said to have graduated
from St. Mary's Academy in Portland, reportedly the only school
in the Northwest at that time where a girl could study music [126,
128].
At the time of his marriage to Alice Jane McCULLY, most of William
B. CRANE's time was being spent in the White Pine mining district
of eastern Nevada, where he mined, ran a lumber mill, and sold
life insurance to the miners [129].
For the next eight years following their marriage, he was on the
road almost full- time, developing mines and selling life insurance.
(As we've pieced together his schedule, it has become clear that,
in their eight and one-quarter years of marriage, he and Alice
probably lived together less than one year!) In 1871 and 1872,
much of his work was in Baker County, Oregon; Alice lived for
awhile in Portland, then with her parents in Salem, Oregon. From
1873 through 1877, he spent much of his time at Virginia City,
Storey County, Nevada; Alice lived in Oakland, Alameda County,
California, usually with CRANE relatives, while William had a
house built for them in Virginia City. They apparently moved into
the new house some time in 1874, only to see it burn to the ground
in the great Virginia City fire on 26 October 1875 [130, 131].
Alice lived part-time at Virginia City after that, but was more
frequently in Oakland or with her parents in Oregon.
By early 1878 they had a house of their own in Oakland, but William
was mostly away, superintending the Extra Mining Company, and
overseeing the development of the Bully Hill copper mine at Copper
City, Shasta County, California. He was at Copper City in February
1879 when he became ill. He returned to Oakland, then in April
decided to make a trip to Oregon to visit with Alice's family.
He died 20 April 1879 at the McCULLY home in Salem. He was buried
in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem [132].
After William CRANE's death, Alice brought her children to Oregon,
living for awhile with her family in Salem, then with her daughter,
Ethel Linnie (CRANE) DABNEY and family in Portland. On trips to
Massachusetts to visit with her son and daughter-in-law, Clarence
and Stella (HOWARD) CRANE, she met Stella's parents, Daniel and
Georgianna (WEATHERBEE) HOWARD. After Georgianna died, Allie and
Daniel married 9 April 1903. She returned to Oregon to settle
her affairs, but found her children there adamant against the
marriage. She divorced without returning to Massachusetts.
Allie continued to live with the DABNEYs, in Portland until 1926,
then in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County, California. She died
in Beverly Hills 8 December 1932. Her body was returned to Oregon,
where she was buried in the Salem Pioneer Cemetery [128].
William Bradford CRANE had two daughters with Mary Louise WILLIAMS:
108. Sue CRANE (ca 1859 -1861)
109. Mary Louise CRANE (5 August 1861 - 28 September 1949)
William Bradford CRANE and Alice Jane McCULLY
had three children:
110. Clarence CRANE (28 November 1871 - 13 April 1942)
111. Ethel Linnie CRANE (29 May 1874 - 5 May 1966)
112. William Bradford CRANE Jr. (29 June
1879 - 25 June 1967)
58. James Elbert CRANE [James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 18 March 1837 in Newark, Essex County,
New Jersey. He lived with his family in Newark, attending public
school there, until late 1849 or early 1850 when they moved to
near Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia)
[112, 113]. He attended "Morgantown Academy" (probably
Monongalia Academy) [113, 133] for a year or two, then entered
Thompson Academy in Thompson, Wyndham County, Connecticut [134].
After graduating ca 1855, he taught school in Windham County,
but then joined his parents in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania,
where he worked with his father building a rolling mill (for the
production of sheet and bar metal) [36]. Late in 1856 or early
in 1857, he moved with the family west to Clark County, Missouri,
where in 1857 his father bought 1,200 acres of land, intending
a major farming operation. James worked with him for two or three
years, but the venture failed, and James acquired 100 acres of
land of his own in nearby Lewis County, Missouri [113].
In late August or early September 1860, he married Ruth Jane GOODWIN
[135]. Ruth was born 13 October 1840 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
[136], the daughter of Dr. James E. GOODWIN and Ruth Jane NEGLEY.
Ruth lived in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, until ca 1855, when
her family moved to Clark County, Missouri [137, 138, 139].
Ruth and James farmed in Lewis County, Missouri, until the outbreak
of the Civil War. James then enlisted, serving in the Union Army
for four years. He was an Army recruiter at various locations
in Missouri (and nearby states?) [113, 140]. Ruth probably lived
part of this time with her parents in Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa,
as their first child was born in Iowa in August 1862, and Ruth
died of typhoid fever (which also killed her father) in Keokuk
25 November 1864 [136, 145]. She is buried in the Oakland Cemetery
in Keokuk, beside her father, mother and brother.
After the War, and after Ruth's death, James began work as a civil
engineer, first working on the construction of the Missouri, Iowa
& Nebraska Railroad (June 1866-June 1867). He then was assistant
engineer on the Missouri & Mississippi Railroad (June 1867-July
1872), with headquarters at Macon City, Macon County, Missouri
[113]. While employed by the Missouri & Mississippi Railroad,
he married 18 March 1869 Ariel NORRIS [141]. Ariel, or "Allie,"
the daughter of Elijah NORRIS and Martha BARNETT, was born ca
1845 in Baltimore County, Maryland, but had moved with her parents
to Clark County, Missouri, by October 1850 [142].
James and Ariel were living in Fayette, Howard County, Missouri,
in July 1870 [143], while still employed on the Missouri &
Mississippi Railroad. It is possible they moved after July 1872
when James was hired as assistant engineer of the Clarksville
& Western Railroad [113]. They may have moved again in 1873
when James became resident engineer of the Mississippi Valley
& Western Railroad, with headquarters at Hannibal, Marion
County, Missouri [113]. When that railroad failed in June 1874,
they moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where James
continued his career with the Central Pacific Railroad, working
as a clerk and bookkeeper [113, 144]. He also was elected in November
1890 as Alameda County Clerk, a post he held for two years [113].
James and Ariel presumably both died in Oakland, Ariel between
1880 and 1910, and James between 1910 and 1920. I haven't yet
found death dates or burial locations for either.
James E. CRANE and Ruth Jane GOODWIN had two children:
113. Emma CRANE (August 1862-)
114. George CRANE (14 September1864 - 12 June 1942)
James E. CRANE and Ariel NORRIS had two
children:
115. Julia Irene CRANE (1 April 1871 -10 January 1940)
116. Arthur CRANE (June 1878- )
59. Evanna CRANE
[James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born January 1841 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey.
She moved with her family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West)
Virginia, in early 1850 [35, 36]; to Warren, Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [36]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857,
to Clark County, Missouri. There, on 17 May 1860, she married
Thomas SCHOONOVER [146]. Thomas, (probably) the son of Gilbert
SCHOONOVER and Mary Jane ____, was born in (Tioga County?) New
York in May 1836 [147, 148, 149]. He probably lived in New York
until the late 1850s, when he moved to Missouri. He was a carpenter,
a career he pursued his whole adult life.
Evanna and Thomas lived near her parents at Waterloo, Clark County,
Missouri, for a year or two after their marriage, but by November
1864 had moved to Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri [145].Thomas
continued to own land at Waterloo, which he rented to his father-in-law.
The Schoonovers were still in Alexandria in August 1870 [150],
and still in Missouri (probably Alexandria) in 1874 when their
youngest child was born. By 1880, they were living in Oakland,
Alameda County, California [151], probably having moved there
at the same time (ca 1874) as Evanna's parents and siblings.
The Schoonovers were probably living part time at Copper City,
Shasta County, California, as early as 1878. (Thomas registered
to vote at Copper City in 1879 [268].) By 1881, they appear to
have been living in that area yearlong [152], and were still there
in June 1900 [149]. Thomas worked as a carpenter most of his life,
but in 1896 and 1898 he was identified as a bridge watchman [268,
269]. Thomas died 16 October 1905, probably at Mable, Shasta County,
California, or in one of the nearby communities [153]. In April
1910 a widowed Evanna SCHOONOVER was living with the family of
her daughter Fannie (SCHOONOVER) ARNOLD in Santa Rosa, Sonoma
County, California [154]. By 1920, she had moved with the Arnolds
to Berkeley, Alameda County, California [155], where she was still
living in April 1930, age 89 [156]. She died 28 January 1932.
I don't know where she was buried.
Thomas SCHOONOVER and Evanna CRANE had five children:
117. George Bradford SCHOONOVER (3 June 1861 - 16 January 1944)
118. Charles Edward SCHOONOVER (January 1865 - 12 May 1935)
119. Frances Josephine SCHOONOVER (2 November 1868-16 September
1958)
120. James William SCHOONOVER (6 September 1871 - 6 November 1957)
121. Alice E. SCHOONOVER (September 1873-)
60. Julia Ann CRANE [James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born November 1842 in Newark,
Essex County, New Jersey. She moved with her family from Newark
to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [35, 36];
to Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [36]; and late
in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. She never
married, and continued to live in her parents' household in Missouri
until ca 1874, they moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California.
She lived the rest of her life with various of her siblings in
Oakland, and died sometime after April 1910 [157]. I haven't found
a death date or burial location for her, yet.
61. Lewis C. CRANE [James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1845 in Newark, Essex
County, New Jersey. He moved with his family from Newark to Monongalia
County, (West) Virginia, in early 1850 [35, 36]; to Warren, Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [36]; and late in 1856 or early
in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. When his older brother, William
Bradford CRANE, left Missouri for Oregon in 1862, Lewis went with
him. They took the steamer "Emilie" up the Missouri
River to Fort Benton, Montana; visited the Montana mines briefly;
then traveled on to Oregon, arriving in Salem in August 1862 [123,
124].
William immediately found work in Oregon, and Lewis traveled to
San Francisco, California, where his uncle Charles H. CRANE was
living. He rejoined his brother by March 1864, in Owyhee County,
Idaho Territory, where William was involved in silver and gold
mining [158, 159]. Uncle Charles brought his family to Idaho Territory
at the same time, and he with his nephews William B. CRANE, Charles
W. CRANE and Lewis CRANE claimed and developed a farm and ranch
at Boise, Ada County, that supplied meat, fresh fruit and fresh
vegetables to Boise and the surrounding mining communities [160,
161, 162].
Some time in 1867, Lewis was thrown from a horse, suffering head
injuries that reportedly affected his behavior after that, causing
him to show "frequent signs of insanity.". This may
have been a partial cause of a fight between Lewis and another
farmhand on 25 September 1868, which resulted in Lewis fatally
stabbing his uncle Charles H. CRANE, when Charles tried to intervene.
Lewis was arrested, and held for medical examination. Witnesses
reported that he was "seemingly unconscious of the deed that
he had committed [53]. I have been unable to find any law enforcement
or court reports following the event, and suspect that Lewis was
judged insane. The only record I have found for him after the
murder was in May 1872, when his brother William reported that
Lewis had died "of consumption" in California [163].
He died unmarried, and I haven't found a death date or burial
location.
62. Frederick CRANE
[James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born ca 1847 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey.
He moved with his family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West)
Virginia, in early 1850 [35, 36]; to Warren, Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [36]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857,
to Clark County, Missouri. He was with his parents at Waterloo,
Clark County, Missouri in June 1860 [108], and August 1870 [164].
In the 1870 census, he was listed as belonging to the U. S. Cavalry,
which suggests he served during the Civil War, and stayed enlisted
afterwards. However, I haven't yet found any military records
for him.
I have found no certain records of Frederick CRANE after August
1870. However, an 1892 biographical sketch of his brother, James
Elbert CRANE, included the information that Frederick was alive
in California, and unmarried.
63. Charles Wilson CRANE [James-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 23 June
1849 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey [165]. Almost immediately,
he moved with his family from Newark to Monongalia County, (West)
Virginia, in early 1850 [35, 36]; to Warren, Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [36]; and late in 1856 or early in 1857,
to Clark County, Missouri. He was with his parents at Waterloo,
Clark County, Missouri in June 1860 [108]. About 1867, he traveled
west to Idaho Territory, joining his brother William B. CRANE
at Silver City, Owyhee County. In August 1867 he took over the
operation of his brother's general store and market in Silver
City [166]. He closed down the general store portion of the business
by August 1868 [167], but continued to live in town and sell fruits
and vegetables until some time in March 1869 [168]. Produce came
partly from the Crane farm at Boise, Idaho, and part of it was
brought by wagon from California.
By October 1870, Charles had moved to Boise and was managing the
Crane farm [169]. He continued to supply produce to the Owyhee
mining camps until at least July 1871 [170]. The Boise Valley
farm was sold in 1873 [171], and about that time Charles moved
to California. He lived in Oakland, Alameda County, and worked
in San Francisco, describing himself at various times as advertising
agent, news agent, purchasing agent, and mining secretary [172].
He worked closely with his brother William on mining activities,
and represented people and businesses as far distant from San
Francisco as Virginia City, Nevada [173].
About 1879, Charles married (in Oakland?) Sarah Elizabeth MERRITT.
"Libbie," as she was called, was born May 1849 in New
York State, of parents born in New York [151]. So far, I haven't
been able to identify her parents or specifically where she was
born. She and Charles were married only a decade when he died
of consumption 13 March 1890 in Oakland [165]. I haven't located
his burial site.
Sarah did not re-marry. She lived with their children in Oakland
until at least 1900 [151]. I have been unable to locate her from
1900 until April 1930, when she was living with her son, Raymond
E. CRANE, and his family at Applewold, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania
[174]. Raymond lived in Armstrong County until at least 1945,
so it is likely that Sarah died there and is buried there.
Charles and Sarah had three children:
122. Raymond Elmer CRANE (11 August 1881-)
123. Linnie CRANE (ca 1883- )
124. Miriam Merritt CRANE (December 1885 -)
64. Josephine CRANE [James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born May 1851 near Morgantown,
Monongalia County, West Virginia. She moved with her family to
Warren, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ca 1854 [36]; and late
in 1856 or early in 1857, to Clark County, Missouri. She continued
to live in her parents' household in Missouri until ca 1874, when
the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. There,
in 1879, she married Joseph Solomon BURPEE.
Joseph BURPEE was born in Ohio in October 1832 [180]. I haven't
determined for certain his birth location, or his parents' names.
He may have been in Michigan in 1849, when a Joseph S. BURPEE
claimed 80 acres of land there, and he reportedly was in California
ca 1849 [175]. By 1854 he was in Jacksonville, Jackson County,
Oregon [176]. He was a carpenter and cabinet maker, and had a
furniture store in Jacksonville with David LINN. About 1859, he
married Irene Jane SPICER, probably in Jacksonville.
Irene SPICER, the daughter of Isaac G. and Cornelia (VANDERCOOK?)
SPICER, was born ca 1842 in Ohio, probably in Erie County where
she was living with her family in 1850 [177, 181]. She apparently
came to Oregon Territory some time in the late 1850s with her
brothers Lester and Charles SPICER, and were living in Jacksonville
at the time of her marriage to Joseph BURPEE [182].
Joseph and Irene lived in Jacksonville until at least 1863 [176],
but by June 1870 were in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri,
where Joseph was working as a cabinet maker [178]. In 1873, they
moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where Joseph worked
as a building contractor until his retirement in 1906 [183]. Irene
died in Oakland in 1878 (9 August?) [179]. A year later (14 August
1879?), Joseph BURPEE and Josephine CRANE were married in Oakland.
Joseph died in Oakland 21 April 1916. After his death, Josephine
lived with the family of their daughter, Florence (BURPEE) MORRISH,
in Berkeley, Alameda County, California [155, 156]. She died 21
October 1931.
Joseph S. BURPEE and Irene J. SPICER reportedly had three children:
125. Lester G. BURPEE (4 September 1860 - 29 October 1915)
126. Cora J. BURPEE (29 May 1863 - 19 November 1865)
127. Charles S. BURPEE (24 December 1864 - 8 August 1867)
Joseph S. BURPEE and Josephine CRANE had two children:
128. Walter J. BURPEE (13 June 1880 - 18 December 1968)
129. Florence J. BURPEE (23 June 1883 - 2 January 1967)
65. Alice CRANE
[James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born 1 October 1854 at Warren, Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania. . Late in 1856 or early in 1857, she moved with
her family to Clark County, Missouri. She continued to live in
her parents' household in Missouri until ca 1874, when the family
moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. She married ca 1875
Cary McClelland FULTON, probably in Oakland.
Cary FULTON, the son of Samuel FULTON and Louellen McCLELLAND,
was born 16 April 1843, probably in Richland County, Ohio. He
moved with his parents to Clarksville, Greene County ca 1848,
and worked on his father's farm until 4 September 1862 [184, 185,
186]. He then enlisted as a corporal in Company A, 140th Pennsylvania
Infantry, and served in the Union Army until mustered out at Washington,
D. C. on 31 May 1865 [187]. After his military service, he returned
to the Greene County farm until some time after 1870 [188]. I
haven't been able to determine when he moved to California.
The Fultons lived in Oakland, and Cary was employed first "in
mining" [151] and later as a clerk for the Southern Pacific
Railroad [180]. He died in Oakland 21 January 1916. Alice lived
in Oakland with her daughter Eva FULTON at least until 1920 [189],
later moving in with the family of her other daughter Edith (FULTON)
DODGE in nearby Piedmont, Alameda County [190]. Alice died 12
October 1949.
Alice CRANE and Cary FULTON had two children:
130. Edith FULTON (23 September 1877 - 10 October 1961)
131. Eva Alberta FULTON (22 October 1881 - 26 June 1955)
66. Julia Fredericka HOVEY [Julia-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born in August 1845 at Eastford, Windham
County, Connecticut [191]. She moved with her family to nearby
Thompson, Windham County, in 1846, where they lived until 1855.
Julia was enrolled in the Thompson Academy in 1851 [134]. About
1855, the family moved to Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. They
were there until 1865 [42, 192]. The family moved in 1865 to a
farm at Honey Creek, Iowa County, Iowa [42], where Julia spent
all or most of the rest of her life. She died after June 1900,
probably before April 1910 and probably at Honey Creek, but apparently
she is not buried in the Victor, Iowa, cemetery with others of
her family [193].
Julia F. HOVEY never married. The only occupation recorded for
her in Federal censuses is that of music teacher [43].
67. Mary Adelaide HOVEY [Julia-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 15 February 1848 at Thompson, Wyndham
County, Connecticut. She lived in Thompson until about 1855, when
the family moved to Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. They stayed
at Cleveland until 1865 [194]. She enrolled at Vassar College
for one year [195], then in 1866 she rejoined her family in Honey
Creek, Iowa County, Iowa, where she lived until ca 1901. She lived
at Thorsby, Chilton County, Alabama, for about nine years, returning
to Honey Creek by April 1910 [194, 196]. She lived there with
the family of her brother Charles until ca 1920, then lived with
a niece in Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa. She died in Iowa City
25 November 1926, and was buried at the I.O.O.F. cemetery at Victor,
Iowa County, Iowa [194].
Mary Hovey never married, and does not seem to have had an occupation
off the farm where she lived much of her adult life.
68. Charles Crane HOVEY [Julia-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 2 October 1849 at Thompson, Wyndham
County, Connecticut [198, 199]. He lived at Thompson until about
1855, when the family moved to Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Charles purchased a farm at Honey Creek, Iowa County, Iowa, and
he, his mother, and two sisters moved there in 1865. His father
closed his law practice in Cleveland, and followed the family
to Iowa the next year [42]. He farmed at Honey Creek until 1918,
then moved to nearby Victor, Iowa County, Iowa [197, 199, 200].
Charles married Mary Alma WILSON in 1891. Mary, the daughter of
John and Emma (___) WILSON of Belle Plaine, Benton County, Iowa,
was born in Belle Plaine in January 1870 [43, 201]. She died at
Honey Creek in 1915, and is buried in the I.O.O.F. cemetery at
Victor, Iowa.
Charles died at Victor 1 February 1934, and is buried in the I.O.O.F.
cemetery there.
Charles HOVEY and Mary WILSON had three children:
132. Alma Burnham HOVEY (17 September 1892 - 24 May 1986)
133. Julia M. HOVEY (5 October 1894 - 1 February 1985)
134. Mia L. HOVEY (October 1896- )
69. William M. HOVEY [Julia-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 30 March 1851, at Thompson, Wyndham County, Connecticut [198]. He does not appear in the 1860 census, so presumably he died young.
70. Ralph CRANE
[Charles-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2,
Jasper-1] was born in 1859, in California (probably San Francisco,
where his family was living in 1860). There is no record of him
after June 1860 [202], so presumably he died young.
71. Frederick Hovey CRANE [Charles-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born July 1860
in San Francisco, San Francisco County, California. He lived there
until ca 1864 when the family moved to Boise, Ada County, Idaho
Territory. His father, Charles W. CRANE, was killed near Boise
25 September 1868 [53]. After his death, Anna (MOLTHROP) CRANE
moved her sons to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, where they
lived with various MOLTHROP relatives [203, 204].
About 1892, probably in Portland, Fred CRANE married Mary Elizabeth
FISHER. Mary, daughter of Adam FISHER and Elizabeth DONE, was
born in Multnomah County, Oregon January 1871. They settled in
Fairview, Multnomah County, Oregon, where they farmed [205, 206,
207, 208]. Fred died 3 December 1947, and Mary died 12 August
1950. They are buried in the Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery in Portland.
Fred CRANE and Mary FISHER had two children:
135. George Molthrop CRANE (16 April 1893- )
136. Frederick Hovey CRANE Jr. (6 December 1895 - 25 December
1921)
72. George Molthrop CRANE [Charles-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1) was born October 1861 in San Francisco, San
Francisco County, California. He lived there until ca 1864 when
the family moved to Boise, Ada County, Idaho Territory. His father,
Charles W. CRANE, was killed near Boise 25 September 1868 [53].
After his death, Anna (MOLTHROP) CRANE moved her sons to Portland,
Multnomah County, Oregon, where they lived with various MOLTHROP
relatives [203, 204].
George married in 1892 Grace REIDL. Grace was born in Germany
(Bavaria) ca 1878, of parents who reportedly immigrated to the
United States in 1890. The couple lived in Portland, with George
employed as a bartender [210], saloon keeper [211], machinest
[212], and janitor [213]. Grace died 9 August 1921, and George
died 20 November 1933. Both are buried in the Lone Fir Pioneer
Cemetery in Portland.
George and Grace apparently had no children.
73. Charles Henry CRANE [Charles-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca June
1867 near Boise, Ada County, Idaho. He died of consumption 3 January
1869 (209).

Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 15 May 1856
in Hall County, Georgia [216]. He lived with his family in Georgia
until ca 1863, apparently lived two or three years in North Carolina
(location undetermined, possibly Cherokee County); then by 1866
moved to Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey [218]. He was farming
with his father at Parsippany at least until June 1880 [219],
but by 26 February 1889 he was at Sulphur Springs, Edmonson County,
Kentucky, where he married Louisa Ellen RENFRO [220]. Ellen, daughter
of H. D. RENFRO and Mary E. LEWIS, was born in Barren County,
Kentucky, 26 June 1859 [216].
William and Ellen lived and farmed at Sulphur Springs. Ellen died
there 13 August 1937, and William 5 October 1938 [216].
William HENNION and Louisa Ellen RENFRO had two children:

He lived with various family members and farmed at Parsippany
until after 1920 [219, 221, 222, 223], then moved with his mother
and two sisters to Hinsdale, Berkshire County, Massachusetts [214].
I have not confirmed a death date or location for him.
Julian HENNION apparently never married (although the 1920 federal
census recorded him as married, but with no wife or children enumerated).
76. Horace Vernon HENNION [Horatio HENNION-8, Julia WARD-7,
Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was
born April 1860 in Georgia (probably Hall County). He lived with
his family in Georgia until ca 1863; apparently lived two or three
years in North Carolina (location undetermined, possibly Cherokee

Jersey [218]. Horace lived at home and farmed with his family
at Parsippany [219, 221]. He married ca 1904, Laura M. (HULBERT?),
who was born in New Jersey ca 1889 [224]. They continued to live
and farm at Parsippany until at least April 1930 [225]. I have
no information on either of them after that date.

Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was
born December 1861 in Georgia (probably Hall County). She lived
with her family in Georgia until ca 1863; apparently lived two
or three years in North Carolina (location undetermined, possibly
Cherokee County); then by 1866 moved to Parsippany, Morris County,
New Jersey [218]. She lived with her family at Parsippany until
ca 1887, when she married Edward DIXON. Edward was born in April
1862 in New Jersey; I haven't yet identified his parents. Edward
and Alice lived and farmed at Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey,
until at least April 1930 [56, 58, 226]. I don't have any information
on them after that date.
Edward DIXON and Alice HENNION had four children:
146. Edna A. DIXON (June 1889- )
147. Olivia R. DIXON (January 1890- )
148. Eric E. DIXON (October 1894- )

North Carolina (possibly Cherokee County). Within a year or two,
she moved with her family to Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey
[218]. She lived at Parsippany for most of her life, except for
a period around 1900, when she was working as a housekeeper in
Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey [227]. Some time after 1920,
she moved with her mother, brother and sister to Hinsdale, Berkshire
County, Massachusetts [214]. I have not confirmed a death date

County most of her life, with various family members. She was
a nurse at the Morris County Children's Home in 1900 [221]. Some
time after 1920, she moved with her mother, brother and sister
to Hinsdale, Berkshire County, Massachusetts [214]. I have not
confirmed a death date or location for her. The 1930 federal census
identified her as divorced, but all other censuses record her
as single.
80. Herbert HENNION
[Horatio HENNION-8, Julia WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1868 at Parsippany,
Morris County, New Jersey. He lived in Morris County most of his
life, possibly excepting some of the time between 1880 and 1930,
when I can't find any definite record of him. He married ca 1892
Mary J. ____ [229]. Herbert and Mary lived in Morristown, New
Jersey, from at least April 1910 to April 1930, where Herbert
was employed as a wagon driver or chauffeur [230, 231, 232]. I
haven't found death information on either of them.
Herbert and Mary J. HENNION reportedly had seven children [230],
but I have only identified four of them:
150. HENNION child (ca 1893- )
151. HENNION child (ca 1894- )
152. Herbert HENNION Jr. (ca 1897- )
153. Thomas HENNION (ca 1898- )
154. HENNION child (ca 1900- )
155. Reginald HENNION (ca 1902- )
156. Raymond HENNION (ca 1907- )
81. HENNION child [Horatio
HENNION-8, Julia WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] - This child is placed here on the basis
of census information that this family had two children that I
haven't yet identified [233].
82. Jennie E. HENNION [Horatio HENNION-8, Julia WARD-7, Rachel-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born November
1873 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey [221]. About 1910
she married George R. LLOYD, who was born England ca 1870, reportedly
of a Welch father and English mother. George came to the United
States in 1887 [58]. The couple was living in Hanover, Morris
County, New Jersey in January 1920 [58]. I have found no later
records of them.
George LLOYD and Jennie HENNION had one child:
157. Marjorie B. LLOYD (ca 1911- )
83. Reginald HENNION [Horatio HENNION-8, Julia WARD-7,
Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was
born ca 1878 at Parsippany, Morris County, New Jersey [219]. I
can find no later references to him, and presume he died young.
84. HENNION child [Horatio HENNION-8, Julia WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] - This child is placed here on the basis of census information that this family had two children that I haven't yet identified [233].
85. Herbert WARD
[Thomas-8, Daniel WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born August 1871 in Washington Township,
Morris County, New Jersey. He lived all or most of his adult life
(at least until 1930) in Morris County and in Washington, Warren
County, New Jersey, where he worked as a stone cutter and monument
builder.
About 1896, Herbert married Melvina _____, who was born December
1874 in New Jersey. Melvina died between 1900 and 1910, after
which Herbert and his children lived with Herbert's parents. By
January 1920, he was living with his son Reuben WARD and family
in Washington, Warren County, New Jersey [234]. He was still in
Washington in April 1930, the last record I have for him [235].
Herbert and Melvina WARD had two children:
158. Reuben WARD (May 1895- )
159. Virginia WARD (April 1900- )
86. Robert B. WARD
[Thomas-8, Daniel WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born January 1873 in Washington Township,
Morris County, New Jersey. He lived all or most of his life (at
least to 1930) in Morris County, working with his father and brothers
as a monument salesman [222, 223], and later as a truck driver
[66].
About 1899, Robert WARD married Hulda _____, who was born in Sweden
December 1872 [62]. I have found no further records of Hulda,
and by ca 1906, Robert was married to Nellie H. ______. Nellie
was born in New Jersey ca 1873. Both were alive in Washington
Township, Morris County, New Jersey, in April 1930 [66]. I have
no later information on them.
Robert and Hulda WARD apparently had no children. Robert and Nellie
WARD had two children:
160. Vincent H. WARD (ca 1908- )
161. Lucille E. WARD (ca 1911- )
87. Eldridge M. WARD [Thomas-8, Daniel WARD-7, Rachel-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca
1875 in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey. I can
find no certain records of him after 1880, although he was reported
as still living in June 1900 [21, 62].
88. Walter L. WARD [Thomas-8, Daniel WARD-7, Rachel-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born in
April 1876 in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey.
Like his father and several brothers, he lived his life in Morris
County, working as a stone cutter and monument maker. About 1896,
he married Jennie B. BEAM, daughter of George BEAM and Adeline
C. BAKER, who was born in New Jersey in November 1877 [62]. I
haven't traced either of them beyond January 1920 [223].

90. Anna E. WARD [Thomas-8, Daniel WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born October 1885
in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey. I have no information
on her after April 1910, when she was living at home, unmarried,
and employed as a dressmaker [222].
91. T. Raymond WARD [Thomas-8, Daniel WARD-7, Rachel-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born October
1886 in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey. He was
living at home in Washington Township April 1910, single, and
working as a steel molder [222]. I haven't located him after that
date.
92. Eva C. CRANE
[John -8, Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born December 1859 in St. Louis, St.
Louis County, Missouri. She lived in St. Louis, and married there
ca 1878 Archie K. BANHAM. Archie was reportedly born in Virginia
in 1855 [71]. Archie was a furniture salesman, probably working
with Eva's father, John CRANE.
I haven't been able to find any records of Eva or Archie after
1900. To that time, they had had no children.
93. CRANE child [John -8, Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1]. John and Ellen CRANE
reportedly had three children, one of whom died before 1900 [71].
This child never appeared in a federal census, so it appears likely
birth and death occurred between 1860 and 1870.
94. Sarah L. CRANE [John-8, Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born March 1866
at St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri. About 1887, she married
Jesse A. VAIL, son of Samuel S. VAIL and Eleanor ____.
Jesse was born August 1855 at Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa. He lived
there throughout his childhood, apparently coming to St. Louis
only a year or so before marrying Sarah CRANE. The couple lived
in St. Louis until after June 1900 [71], but by April 1910 were
in Beloit, Rock County, Wisconsin [236]. They apparently lived
in Evanston, Cook County, Illinois, ca 1917 [237], but by January
1920 were once again living in St. Louis, Missouri [238].
Jesse VAIL was a mechanical engineer, working in various engine
factories and machinery companies. He may have been associated
with the Vail-Rentschler Tractor Company of Hamilton, Butler County,
Ohio [237]. He died between January 1920 and April 1930, location
unknown. In April 1930, Sarah was living near her son in Evanston,
Cook County, Illinois [239]. I have no information on her death
date or location.
Jesse VAIL and Sarah CRANE had three children:
166. John Crane VAIL (1 January 1888 - 7 July 1888)
167. Eva C. VAIL (23 April 1890- )
168. Samuel Crane VAIL (26 January 1893 - June 1977)
95. Gertrude Minton CRANE [Lemuel-8, [Lemuel-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born January
1872 at Louisville, Pottawatomie County, Kansas [82]. Within a
few years of her birth, the family moved to St. Louis, St. Louis
County, Missouri, where her father Lemuel CRANE died in 1876 [85].
Within a year of Lemuel's death, Gertrude's mother moved the family
to be with her family in Athens, Bradford County, Pennsylvania
[82]. About 1906, Gertrude married Jason K. WRIGHT. Jason, the
son of Edward WRIGHT and Evelyn _____, was born April 1867 at
Athens, Bradford County, Pennsylvania [240, 241].
Jason and Gertrude lived and farmed at Smithfield, Bradford County.
Gertrude died there in 1924, and was buried in the Smithfield
Union Cemetery. Jason died in 1951, and was also buried in the
Union Cemetery.

Within a year or so of his birth, he moved with his mother and
sister to Athens, Bradford County, Pennsylvania [82]. John farmed
in Bradford County the rest of his life.
About 1912, John CRANE married Bessie LINCOLN. Bessie was born
30 September 1882 in Pennsylvania; I haven't determined her parents'
identities. John died at Athens 4 January 1938; Bessie died 27
January 1967. Both are buried in the Tioga Point Cemetery at Athens.

Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 2 July 1877 at Cincinnati,
Hamilton County, Ohio. He probably lived in Cincinnati with his
parents through his teen years, but by June 1900 he was practicing
dentistry at Eaton, Preble County, Ohio [242]. In April 1910,
he was a dentist in Thorsby, Chilton County, Alabama, living with
his widowed mother [76]. He was in Thorsby at least until April
1930, continuing his dentistry practice [77, 91]. He died 24 December
1956 is Tuscaloosa County, Alabama [92].
Howard JUNKERMAN never married.
101. William Burnett CRANE [Neander-8, Daniel-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 26 October 1883 at Mobile,
Mobile County, Alabama. He lived his entire life in the Mobile
area, practicing dentistry as his occupation. On 7 April 1911
he married Eunice E. McCLURE. Eunice, daughter of Nathaniel D.
McCLURE and Emeline _____, was born 7 December 1887 at Dunbar,
Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and had moved with her parents to
Mobile some time between 1900 and July 1910 [101, 243]. Eunice

Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1862 at Wauwautosa, Milwaukee
County, Wisconsin. She was alive at least until 1880 at Wauwautosa
[109, 110]. I can find no records of her after that date. Only
one of David and Angelina (CRANE) BARNES' children was alive in
June 1900 [106], but I don't know which one. Cora may have died
before 1900, or she may have married and not yet identifiable
to me.

children was alive in June 1900 [106], but I don't know which
one. Orleanna may have died before 1900, or she may have married
and not yet identifiable to me.
107. Charles BARNES [Angelina-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1875

one.
108. Sue CRANE
[William-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1859, likely at either Independence,
Jackson County, or St. Louis, St. Louis County. She died in 1861
at Pilot Knob, Iron County, Missouri [123].
109. Mary Louise CRANE [William-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 5 August
1861 at Pilot Knob, Iron County, Missouri. At the death of her
mother, she moved with her father almost immediately to Canton,
Lewis County, Missouri [123]. When he left for Montana in June
1862, Mary was left in the care of her maternal grandmother, Louisa
(CECIL) (WILLIAMS) STAPLES, and her mother's sister Ella (WILLIAMS)
CLUSKY [244]. Some time after 1870, she began making trips to
the West to stay with her father and step-mother, William B. and
Alice Jane (McCULLY) CRANE. While on the Pacific coast, she lived
in San Francisco and Oakland, California, and Salem, Oregon (and
perhaps at some of his other mining locations), but still spent
part of her time in Missouri until at least 1876. Apparently,
she didn't move West permanently until ca 1877.
On a visit to Salem, Marion County, Oregon ca 1875, she first
met Samuel W. CHURCH, who lived near Mary's grandfather, Asa A.
McCULLY, and whose father was a business associate of her grandfather
[245]. She married him in San Francisco, San Francisco County,
California, 27 March 1881.
Samuel W. CHURCH was born 13 February 1857 at Harrisburg, Linn
County, Oregon. He was the son of Stephen T. CHURCH and Elizabeth
LISTER. His family moved to Salem, Marion County, Oregon before
June 1870 [246, 247]. After their marriage, the couple lived in
Salem until ca 1883, when they moved to Portland, Multnomah County,
Oregon [250]. There he was a partner in a company making woven
wire mattresses, first Church & Durkee, and then Thomas K.
Abbott and Samuel W. Church [248].
Samuel CHURCH died in Portland 26 November 1901, of a rare heart
malfunction. He was buried in the Riverview Cemetery [249]. Mary
continued to live in Portland with their two daughters, finally
dying there 28 September 1949. She was buried at Riverview Cemetery,
as well [250].
Mary CRANE and Samuel CHURCH had three children:
178. CHURCH child (ca 1883- )
179. Ruth M. CHURCH (ca 1885- )
180. Genevieve L. CHURCH (5 April 1886 -1967)
110. Clarence CRANE [William-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 28 November
1871 in Salem, Marion County, Oregon [251]. He spent most of his
childhood in Salem and in Oakland, Alameda County, California,
but also lived at times in Virginia City, Storey County, Nevada;
Copper City, Shasta County, California; and possibly Baker County,
Oregon [130, 131, 132]. His father died in 1879, and by ca 1885
he had moved with his mother and siblings from Salem to Portland,
Multnomah County, Oregon. He reportedly attended grammar school
but not high school, needing to help support the family by working
in a dry goods store and a men's clothing store.
About 1895, Clarence moved to Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts,
and was accepted into the Boston University School of Medicine.
To pay his way, he sold insurance for Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company, among other jobs. He graduated with his Medical
Doctorate in 1900 [252]. On 18 June 1900 in Boston, he married
another School of Medicine graduate, Stella Spaulding HOWARD.
Stella HOWARD was born 25 August 1874 in Boston, the daughter
of Daniel HOWARD and Georgianna WEATHERBEE. She attended Boston
schools, and in 1894 graduated from the Girls' Latin School (now,
Boston Latin Academy). She attended Dana Hall School, and also
Wellesley College for one year, then enrolled in Boston University
School of Medicine, from which she graduated with her Medical
Doctorate in 1900, in the same class with Clarence CRANE [252].
After their graduation and marriage, Clarence and Stella lived
in Boston, and both practiced medicine there. About 1902, Clarence
was named superintendent of the Burrage Hospital for Crippled
Children, established on Bumpkin Island in Boston Harbor [253].
He also served as first assistant surgeon at Massachusetts Homeopathic
Hospital, was a physiology instructor at Boston University School
of Medicine, and acted as medical examiner for the Boston Mutual
Life Insurance Company [252]. Some time after 1910, the family
bought a farm at Dennisport, Barnstable County, Massachusetts.
Stella gave up active medical practice at that time and lived
with the family at the farm, while Clarence maintained his medical
practices in Boston. They later moved to the Howard family farm
at Dover (Pigan Hill, Natick area), Middlesex County, Massachusetts,
where they lived until 1930 [254, 255].
The family left Massachusetts in 1930 and moved to Fernbridge,
Humboldt County, California. There, Clarence practiced medicine
for a few years with Dr. H. W. Comfort, and served as first president
of the Humboldt County Tuberculosis Association. He had retired
from medical practice when he died in Fernbridge 13 April 1942
[256]. Stella continued to live in Fernbridge until 1948, when
she moved to nearby Ferndale, Humboldt County, California, where
she died 18 November 1968 [257]. Both Clarence and Stella are
buried at the Pioneer Cemetery at Salem, Marion County, Oregon.
Clarence CRANE and Stella HOWARD six children:
181. Calista CRANE (28 April 1902 - 16 March 1993)
182. William Bradford CRANE (28 April 1904 - 20 January 1981)

111. Ethel Linnie CRANE [William-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 29 May 1874 in Salem,
Marion County, Oregon. She spent most of her childhood in Salem
and in Oakland, Alameda County, California, but also lived at
times in Virginia City, Storey County, Nevada; Copper City, Shasta
County, California; and possibly Baker County, Oregon [130, 131,
132]. Her father died in 1879, and by ca 1885 she had moved with
her mother and siblings from Salem to Portland, Multnomah County,
Oregon. In Portland 11 September 1895, she married Percy Pope
DABNEY.
Percy, the son of William Pope DABNEY and Leila MADISON, was born
25 November 1866 at Jefferson (Spencer Township), Powhatan County,
Virginia. He attended public schools in Virginia until he was
sixteen, then was privately tutored in law by his father, county
judge for Powhatan and Cumberland counties. In 1887, he took a
summer course in law at the University of Virginia, and in 1888
was admitted to the Virginia bar. He came west to Oregon in 1890,
and was admitted to the Oregon bar in 1892 [258].
Ethel and Percy lived in Portland, Oregon, for 30 years, where
Percy continued in the legal profession. He was never in general
legal practice, but specialized in land title law, most of the
time with the firm of Wood, Montague, Matthiesson and Rankin [259].
In 1926 the family moved to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County,
California, where Percy continued in the legal profession. He
died in Beverly Hills 18 March 1935. Some time after that, Ethel
moved to Seattle, Kings County, Washington, to live with the family
of her daughter, Alice M. (DABNEY) MOORES. She died there 15 May
1966. Both were buried at the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem, Marion
County, Oregon.
Ethel CRANE and Percy DABNEY had one child:
187. Alice Madison DABNEY (29 October 1896 - 10 June 1977)
112. William Bradford CRANE Jr. [William-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 29 June 1879 at Salem,
Marion County, Oregon. His father had died two months before William
was born, and by ca 1885 he had moved with his mother and siblings
from Salem to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. He attended
public schools in Portland, then ca 1900 he went to Boston, Suffolk
County, Massachusetts, where he stayed two years. He returned
to Portland in 1902, and established W. B. Crane and Company,
suppliers of equipment for the manufacturing of carbonated beverages.
The company eventually established branch offices in Seattle,
Washington (1922), and in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California
(1926) [260].
In Portland 7 June 1905, William married Lillian LEWIS. Lillian,
the daughter of Harry Romeo LEWIS and Mary A. FELCH, was born
24 June 1882 in Oregon (probably Portland). At the time of their
marriage, she was working as a bookkeeper; I haven't learned anything
else about her early life.
About 1929, the family moved to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County,
California, where William continued with his beverage supply business.
They apparently lived there the rest of their lives, with William
dying there 25 June 1967, followed by Lillian 18 November 1968.
Both are buried at the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem, Marion County,
Oregon.
William CRANE and Lillian LEWIS had three children
188. Walton Bradford CRANE (12 March 1906 - 2 October 1986)
189. Ethel Lewis CRANE (11 November 1907 - 27 November 1965)
190. William Bradford CRANE (30 April 1915 - 9 January 1974)
113. Emma CRANE
[James-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3,
Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born August 1862 at Keokuk, Lee County,
Iowa. She likely lived for a year in Lewis County, Missouri, before
returning to Keokuk, where her mother died 25 November 1864 [136,
145]. Probably she lived with her grandmother Ruth (NEGLEY) GOODWIN
in Keokuk until her father remarried in 1869, but it's possible
she spent these years with her father's family in Clark County,
Missouri. By July 1870 she was living with her father, brother,
and stepmother Ariel (NORRIS) CRANE, in Fayette, Howard County,
Missouri [143]. They were in Missouri (but perhaps not always
in Fayette) until 1874, when the family moved to Oakland, Alameda
County, California [113].
About 1883, Emma married Edward W. THURMAN, probably in Oakland.
Edward was born in Indiana in September 1859; I haven't discovered
his parents' names [261], and I haven't identified them or Edward
in any census prior to 1900. The couple was living in San Francisco
in 1900, where Edward was employed as a machinest. In 1910, they
lived in Eden, Alameda County, California, where Edward worked
in a planing mill. By January 1920 they were back in San Francisco,
and Edward was still a woodworker in a planing mill. Both died
before 1930, Emma on 7 May 1924 and Edward 11 November (1920?).
Emma CRANE and Edward THURMAN had five children:
191. THURMAN child (ca 1884- before 1900 )
192. THURMAN child (ca 1886-before 1900 )
193. Elbert Robert THURMAN (29 March 1888 - 6 May 1982)
194. Genevieve THURMAN (1890-before 1910 )
195. Laurence George THURMAN (4 June 1892 - 8 September 1976)
114. George E. CRANE [James-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5,
Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 14 September
1864 in Lewis County, Missouri. Probably he lived with his grandmother
Ruth (NEGLEY) GOODWIN in Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa, from November
1864, when his mother died, until his father remarried in 1869
[136, 145]. However, it's possible he spent these years with his
father's family in Clark County, Missouri. By July 1870 he was
living with his father, sister, and stepmother Ariel (NORRIS)
CRANE, in Fayette, Howard County, Missouri [143]. They were in
Missouri (but perhaps not always in Fayette) until 1874, when
the family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California [113].
George graduated from Oakland High School, then worked for three
years as a clerk for the Southern Pacific Railroad. He then moved
to Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, where he sold
real estate [113]. On 16 February 1899, at Stockton, San Joaquin
County, California, he married Harriet M. KAPP. Harriet was born
in California 4 September 1876, the daughter of James F. KAPP
and Frances Alice SMITH.
The couple lived in Stockton, California, their entire married
life. George continued as a real estate agent. He died 12 June
1942, and she died 27 December 1964. I don't know where they were
buried.
George CRANE and Harriet KAPP had three children:
196. Alice Marion CRANE (28 December 1905 - 23 January 1985)
197. George E. CRANE Jr. (16 December 1908- )

115. Julia Irene CRANE [James-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4,
Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 1 April 1871 in Missouri
(probably Howard or Marion county). She moved with her family
ca 1874 to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where she spent
her childhood years. Her education included attending Field's
Academy [113]. About 1891, she married (location undetermined)
Fisher C. WORLEY, the son of Henry H. WORLEY and Amelia CALMESE
(?). He was born January 1868 in Colusa County, California.
After their marriage, they farmed at Arbuckle, Colusa County,
California until at least June 1900 [262]. They were farming at
Woodland, Yolo County, California in April 1910 [263], and at
Silveyville, Solano County, California, in February 1920 [264].
Fisher died 11 March 1926 (location undetermined), and in April
1930 Julia was living in San Francisco, California, with the family
of her daughter, Wanda (WORLEY) MAHAN [265]. She died in San Francisco
10 January 1940.

Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born June 1878
in Oakland, Alameda County, California, where he attended public
schools [113]. I have found little information about him. In June
1900, he was working as a farm laborer for his brother, Fisher
WORLEY, at Arbuckle, Colusa County, California [262]. About 1929
in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, he married Violet _____. Violet
was born ca 1907 in Indiana. It was the first marriage for both.
In Chicago in 1930, Arthur was working as an auto mechanic [266].
Arthur and Violet (___) CRANE had one known child:
202. Frederick CRANE (March 1930- )

Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 3 June 1861 Alexandria,
Clark County, Missouri. He lived in Clark County until ca 1874,
when his family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California.
They lived in Oakland until some time after 1880 [151], then they
moved to Copper City, Shasta County, California. On 11 October
1888 in Shasta County, George married Margaret Lavina ELLIOTT.
Margaret was born in Illinois 8 February 1865; I have not identified
her parents [267].
George and Margaret lived in the mountains of Shasta County in
various communities (Copper City, Kennett, Mable, Antler, Middlefork)
until after January 1920 [149, 270, 271]. George was employed
as a mill wright in a lumber mill. By April 1930, they were living
at Squaw Valley, Siskiyou County, with George employed in a lumber
mill [272]. I have no specific information on their movements
after 1930, but Margaret reportedly died in Sacramento County,
California, 15 December 1942, and George died in Kings County,
California, 16 January 1944 [273].
George SCHOONOVER and Margaret ELLIOTT had three children:
203. Howard Elliott SCHOONOVER (29 August 1890 - 15 November 1948)
204. Helen A. SCHOONOVER (13 October 1895 - 11 October 1962)
205. Eva M. SCHOONOVER (28 August 1907 - )
118. Charles Edward SCHOONOVER [Evanna-8, James-7, John-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was
born January 1865 in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. He lived
in Clark County until ca 1874, when his family moved to Oakland,
Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until some time
after 1880 [151], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta County,
California. Charles lived at Mabel, Shasta County, from at least
1892 to 1896, where he was a stockman [268, 268]. In 1900 he was
with his parents at Kennett, Shasta County, where he was described
as a telegraph operator, probably for the railroad [149].
About 1902 Charles married Mame ________, at an undermined location.
Mame was reportedly born in Illinois ca 1866. This was apparently
her second marriage [274]. I haven't been able to locate the couple
from their marriage until January 1920, when they were living
at Colfax, Placer County, California, where Charles worked as
a telegraph operator for the railroad [275]. They were still in
Colfax in April 1930 [274]. Charles died 12 May 1935 [273]. I
haven't found any additional information on Mame.
I've found no indication that Charles and Mame had any children,
or that she had children from a previous marriage.
119. Frances Josephine SCHOONOVER [Evanna-8, James-7, John-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was
born 2 November 1868 in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. "Fannie"
lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when her family moved to
Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until
some time after 1880 [151], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta
County, California. She was living in one of the small communities
in the Shasta County mountains (Copper City, Kennett, or Mable)
when on 8 January 1891 she married Frank ARNOLD.
Frank was born May 1862 in California [180], but I have found
no definite information about his origins. Likely, he was the
Frank ARNOLD who in 1880 was employed as a printer in Scotts Valley,
Siskiyou County, California [276].
In June 1880 Fannie and Frank were living in Oakland, Alameda
County, California, where Frank was employed as a railroad postal
clerk [180]. By April 1910, they had moved to Santa Rosa, Sonoma
County, California, where Frank was the local mail manager for
the railroad [154]. In October 1920 they were in Berkeley, Alameda
County, California, with Frank still working with the railroad
as mail clerk [155]. Frank died some time between October 1920
and April 1930, when Fannie was recorded as a widow living in
Berkeley [156]. She died in Alameda County, California (probably
Berkeley) 16 September 1958 [273].
Frances SCHOONOVER and Frank ARNOLD had two children:
206. Geraldine M. ARNOLD (November 1892-
207. Muriel M. ARNOLD (11 October 1898 - 7 December 1979)
120. James William SCHOONOVER [Evanna-8, James-7, John-6,
Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was
born 6 September 1871 in Alexandria, Clark County, Missouri. "Will"
lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when his family moved to
Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until
some time after 1880 [151], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta
County, California. Will was in Shasta County at various locations
at least until 1912: Redding 1892-1894; Kennett 1894-1896; Taylor
1898; Big Bend-Burney Valley 1900; Winthrop 1904; Shasta River
Arm 1910; Redding 1912. He worked as a clerk or bookkeeper during
those years [149, 268, 269, 277].
On 20 October 1900 Will married Nellie B. GARRECHT. Nellie, the
daughter of Lorenz GARRECHT and Amalie PREHN, was born in Shasta
County ca 1881. As noted already, the lived in Shasta County at
various locations until at least 1912. By January 1920 they were
living at Alameda, Alameda County, California [278].
Nellie reportedly died 19 December 1925, location so far undetermined
[273]. I have an incomplete record of Will after that date. He
was living in Redding in 1936 [279]. He later moved to Humboldt
County, California, where he died 6 November 1957 [273].
Will SCHOONOVER and Nellie GARRECHT reportedly had two children:
208. SCHOONOVER child (born and died between 1901 and 1910)

She lived in Clark County until ca 1874, when her family moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California. They lived in Oakland until some time after 1880 [151], then they moved to Copper City, Shasta County, California. She was living in the Shasta County mountains with her parents, unmarried, at least as late as June 1900 [149]. I have found no records of her after that date.
