The History and Genealogy Pages

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 DeGORMO
5-c. Daniel Prince CRANE (ca1751-)
d. Ezekiel CRANE ( -12 Dec 1803); m. (2nd?) Abby _____
e. Rachel CRANE (baptized 9 November 1755); died as an infant [3]
f. Rachel CRANE (baptized 30 January 1757- ); m. Ralph BURNET

Children of Moses CRANE and Catherine (LITTELL) ROGERS:
g. Josiah CRANE ( -ca. 1824); m. 1st Rachel ____; m. 2nd Philomelia ( ) PARKS
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 (DeMOTT) HENNION after 1826 [10, 299]. Clarissa was born ca 25 July 1897 in New Jersey, the daughter of Henry DeMOTT and Elizabeth MANDEVILLE [302]. She married Abraham HENNION 4 November 1815 [301], and had at least three children: Caroline HENNION born ca 1816, married Seely LISK; Elizabeth HENNION born ca 1818, married Peter COOK [299]; and Henry HENNION born 4 December 1822, married Elizabeth SHARP. Abraham HENNION died 14 April 1826, age 34, and was buried in the Montville Reformed Church Cemetery [300]
Ralph CRANE died 2 November 1857 and is buried at the Vail Cemetery, Hanover Township, Morris County, New Jersey [12]. Clarissa died 1 November 1861, and was buried with her parents and first husband at the Montville Reformed Church Cemetery [300].
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, probably Clarissa's son Henry HENNION, who would have been about 7 years old [6].


==========================================
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, 303]. 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.

Children of Lemuel Minton CRANE and Jane Maria De MILT:
45- John H. CRANE (February 1832- )
46-Maria Louise CRANE (ca 1834- )
47-Lemuel Minton CRANE (ca 1839-10 September 1876)
48-Sarah H. CRANE (ca 1842- )
49-Julia Caroline CRANE (ca 1844- )
50-Georgianna S. CRANE (ca 1847- )

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.

Children of Daniel B. CRANE and Esther E. MILLER:
51-J. Mentor CRANE (ca 1840-)
52-Mary A. CRANE (ca 1842-)
53-Marcius B.CRANE (ca 1844-14 October 1914)
54-Asenath CRANE (ca 1846-19 February 1918)
55-Neander CRANE (ca 1852-June 1932)

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.

Children of Julia CRANE and Frederick HOVEY:
66-Julia Fredericka HOVEY (August 1845- )
67-Mary Adelaide HOVEY (15 February 1848-25 November 1926)
68. Charles Crane HOVEY (2 October 1849-1 February 1934)
69-William M. HOVEY (30 March 1851- )

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)

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].

29. Augusta HENNION [Julia WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1849 in Morris County, New Jersey. So far, I haven't been able to find any records of her after July 1860 [10, 11].

30. William WARD [Daniel WARD-7, Rachel-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born ca 1830 in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey. In September 1850 he was working with his father as a wheelwright [9]. I've been unable to trace him for certain after that date.

He lived his entire life in Morris 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 January 1920 and April 1930 [63, 64, 66].

He lived with his parents at Schooley Mountain, Washington Township, until at least August 1870, working with his father as a wheelwright [9, 20, 61]. I have no certain records of him after that date, but he may be the Martin P. WARD who in June 1880 was working as a machinest in Orange, Essex County, New Jersey [67].

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 [73].
John and Ellen CRANE had three children:
92. Eva C. CRANE (December 1859- )
93. Unidentified CRANE (ca 1861? - )
94. Sarah L. CRANE (March 1866- )

By September 1850 the family had moved to Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio [23, 25]. Maria never married, and lived in Cincinnati until some time after 1900 in either her father's household or 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).

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].

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- )

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.

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].

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.

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

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?).

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.

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].

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].

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.

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].

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.

122. Raymond Elmer CRANE [Charles-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 11 August 1881 in Oakland, Alameda County, California. He spent his early years in Oakland, living with his family until after June 1900 [180]. In February 1904 in Oakland, he and his cousin, Oscar Jerome BACKUS, founded Eljer Inc., originally to produce flush valves for toilets and later to produce toilets and other toilet fixtures [280].
About 1906, Raymond married Ellen A. FEARN. Ellen, daughter of John and Sarah J. (___) FEARN, was born in California in December 1880 [281]. The family moved a number of times, presumably in response to the development of Eljer, Inc. For example, in 1907 Eljer opened a plant in Cameron, Marshall County, West Virginia [280]. Raymond and Ellen were in Oakland in November 1909 (a son born), but by April 1910 were living in Cameron, West Virginia [282]. They were back in Oakland, California, for at least part of the time February 1911 to April 1915 (sons born 1911, 1913, and 1915). They were living in Cook County, Illinois, in September 1918, but Raymond identified his employer as Eljer in West Virginia (military draft registration). They were in New Trier, Cook County, Illinois January 1920 [283], but by April 1930 had moved to Kittanning, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania [174]. Probably not coincidentally, Eljar had closed down their West Virginia operations in 1929, consolidating their operations at Ford City, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, in a plant they had been using for part of their manufacturing since 1918 [280].
The last definite report I have on either Raymond or Ellen is from 27 April 1942, when Raymond registered for the World War II draft (even though he was 60 years old!). At that time, both were alive, and still residing in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. It has been reported that Raymond died in 1953 [284], but I haven't found details yet.
Raymond CRANE and Ellen FEARN had four children:
210. Raymond Radford CRANE (6 November 1909 - before 1911)
211. Raymond Radford CRANE (10 February 1911 - May 1981)
212. David CRANE (ca 1913 - )

She lived with her family in Oakland until ca 1905, when she married Roy Hugh CRAIG. Roy, the son of Hugh and Inez A. (GILCHRIST) CRAIG, was born in Alameda County, California, 23 October 1879.
The couple lived in Piedmont, Alameda County, California, for several years, then moved to Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon by April 1910 [211]. Within a year, they had moved to Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, where in 1912 they divorced [285]. Roy CRAIG was granted custody of their one child, and he later remarried. I have found no records of Miriam after October 1912.
Miriam CRANE and Roy CRAIG had one child:
214. Gordon Hugh CRAIG (ca 1906- )

125. Lester G. BURPEE [Joseph BURPEE and Irene SPICER] was born 4 September 1860 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon. He lived there with his family until the late 1860s, then they moved to Springfield, Greene County, Missouri [178]. 29 October 1915). By 1873, they had moved to Oakland, Alameda County, California, where Lester attended public schools until 1879. He worked as private secretary to E. C. Sessions, president of the Oakland Bank of Savings, for two years, then bought a fruit ranch in Solano County, California, but sold it in 1883 and returned to Oakland [183].
In January 1882, probably in Oakland, Lester married Mary Isabelle ADAMS. Mary, daughter of Andrew J. and Elizabeth (___) ADAMS, was born in Marion County, Oregon, ca November 1859 [286]. She lived with her family in Oregon until the late 1860s, when they moved to Santa Barbara County, California [287]. By June 1880, they were living in Plano, Tulare County, California [288]. Presumably they moved to Alameda County by 1882, but I have no record of that.
The couple lived in Oakland all their married life, Lester service in a number of clerical and administrative positions, finally becoming vice-president of the First National Bank in 1906 [289]. Lester reportedly died 26 October 1915; I have no information on Mary after 1910.

215. Earl Lester BURPEE (January 1883- )
216. Joseph Stanley BURPEE (June 1884- )

126. Cora J. BURPEE [Joseph BURPEE and Irene SPICER] was reportedly born 29 May 1863 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon, and died there 19 November 1865. I have found no documented evidence of this, so far.

127. Charles S. BURPEE [Joseph BURPEE and Irene SPICER] was reportedly born 24 December 1864 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon, and 8 August 1867 (probably in Jacksonville, although the family was living in Greene County, Missouri, by June 1870 [178]). I have found no documented evidence of this person, so far.

128. Walter Joseph BURPEE [Josephine-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 13 June 1880 in Oakland, Alameda County, California. He lived his entire life in Oakland and nearby Berkeley and Piedmont, Alameda County, California. He was an attorney, including working in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office [155, 157, 180].
Between January 1920 and May 1925, he married Florence Helen GROVER. Helen, daughter of William A. GROVER and Marietta OSBORN, was born 24 July 1882 at Folsom, Sacramento County, California [290]. The family was in Oakland as early as June 1900 [1800]. In January 1920, Helen was living with her sister in Berkeley, and working as a clerk in a dry goods store [155].
Helen died in Alameda County (probably Piedmont) 3 March 1968; Walter died later the same year, 18 December 1968). They did not have any children.

129. Florence J. BURPEE [Josephine-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 23 June 1883 in Oakland, Alameda County, California.

MORRISH and Eliza RICHARDS, was born 9 February 1883 in Sierra City, Sierra County, California. The family had moved to Oakland some time between ca 1887 and 1900 [180].
Florence and William lived their early married life in Oakland and nearby Berkeley, California, where William served in various clerical and financial positions before becoming president of the Bank of America. By 1953, they had moved to Orinda, Contra Costa County, California, where William died 26 April 1955 and Florence died 2 January 1967.

130. Edith FULTON [Alice-8, James-7, John-6, Daniel-5, Moses-4, Azariah-3, Azariah-2, Jasper-1] was born 23 September 1877 at Oakland, Alameda County, California. She was living there with her family ca 1907 when she married Clarence Wythe DODGE. Clarence, son of Edward E. DODGE and Mary WYTHE, was born 5 October 1873 at Auburn, Placer County, California. By June 1880 the family had moved to Sutter Creek, Amador County, California [291), and by June 1900 were at Yuba City, Sutter County, California [292]. In the 1900 census, he was also recorded at his grandparents' residence (Joseph H. WYTHE) in Oakland [180], and staying with them may be how he met Edith FULTON.
Clarence DODGE was a physician throughout their married life. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Taft, Kern County, California, and were there at least into 1911 (child born there). They were in Los Angeles, California for several years (children born 1915 and 1917), then returned to Oakland by January 1920 [189], probably to have the family close to relatives while Clarence was in military service overseas at Miesenheim, Germany [293).
By April 1930, the Dodges were living in Piedmont, Alameda County, California. Clarence died there 11 January 1959, and Edith 10 October 1961 [273].

There he attended school and worked as a reporter for local newspapers (Morning Times, and San Francisco Bulletin) while studying law [294]. He had passed the bar and entered private legal practice in Oakland by 1910 [157]. He became a bankruptcy referee in September 1926 [294].
Eva died in Oakland 26 June 1955, and Burton died there 2 May 1960. They did not have any children.

7. In a 1932 handwritten family history summary of the DABNEY-CRANE connection, Percy Pope Dabney included an unnamed fifth child of Daniel Prince CRANE and Phebe BURNET. I had found no clue to this child, until in 6 October 2005, when I received the following information from Barbara Parker: "I was told a story many years ago by Henry Pilch, now deceased, an historian for early eastern Morris Co families. Matthias Burnet (1723-1783) left by will a child slave named Cesar to his daughter Phebe Crane. I believe that Matthias' will specified that the child was to be freed when he came of age. When researching Phebe & Daniel Crane, Henry Pilch discovered that they had an unknown extra "son." (I think he said that this presumed "son" was mentioned in Daniel's will, or perhaps was treated as a son in a land transaction following Daniel's death.) His research showed that this "son" was black and he presumed him to have been Cesar. He was apparently raised by Phebe alongside her own children and shared in Daniel's estate as though he was a son. Matthias had several slaves over the years, most of which he seems to have freed early. Cesar was likely a child of his slave Betty, whom he left to his widow."

53. The following is from the "Owyhee Avalanche" (Silver City, Idaho Territory): 3 October 1868 -- "Homicide.-- The Boise City papers inform us of a melancholy occurrence, resulting in the death of Dr. Charles H. Crane, at his ranch near the city. On Friday morning, Sept. 25th, a young man, named Lewis Crane, who is a nephew of the Doctor, and a hired man, had a quarrel while at work canning tomatoes. Dr. Crane was endeavoring to quiet the disturbance, when his nephew stabbed him in the side with a large butcher knife. He died before medical help could reach him. Deceased was a most estimable gentleman and good citizen. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his tragic end.
It seems that Lewis Crane was thrown from a horse about a year ago, since which time he has shown frequent signs of insanity. He was arrested and lodged in jail to await examination. When the warrant was read to him his actions clearly demonstrated that he was insane at the time of committing the fatal deed. In speaking of the affair, he said that 'there might have been a man killed, but that is nothing,' and that he would not hurt his uncle for anything in the world. He is a brother of W. B. and C. W. Crane of Silver. They received the sad intelligence, and, overcome with grief, started for Boise City the same evening."

Other accounts of the incident were published in the "Idaho Tri-weekly Statesman" (Boise, Idaho) 26 September 1868, page 2, column 2; and in the "Semi-Weekly Democrat" (Boise, Idaho) 26 September 1868, page 3, column 1.

57. So far, I have been unable to locate Horatio HENNION in any censuses between August 1850 in West Virginia and July 1870, when he and his family were enumerated in the Federal census for Hanover Township, Morris County, New Jersey. A Kentucky death record of his son William N. HENNION, which gives William's birthplace as Hall County, Georgia 1856, is the only relatively authoritative source document I have found that identifies a specific place the family lived. Information on Horatio's wife, Margaret Jane SERVICE, and on the birthplaces and birthdates of their children has been extrapolated from federal censuses and from (mostly unsourced) family trees on the World Wide Web, but seems to hold together well, pending confirmation from primary or secondary sources.

84. Lemuel CRANE Jr.'s and Gertrude SNELL's movements between 1860 and 1870 raise some interesting questions. Lemuel is accounted for in eastern Missouri until 1862, but I can find no record of how or when he arrived in Kansas by 1870. Similarly, Gertrude was in northeastern Pennsylvania in 1860, and almost all of her immediate family were still in Pennsylvania in 1870, when Gertrude was married to Lemuel in Kansas. I haven't found a confirmed record of their marriage, but a Kansas wedding in May 1870 (given on several Internet sites) fits well with their ages, the 1870 census, and the birth of their first child in 1872. Gertrude must have been in Kansas with some relative or family friends, but I can' determine who they were. After Lemuel died, Gertrude moved immediately back to her hometown in Pennsylvania, suggesting she had no strong ties in Kansas.

85. St. Louis County, Missouri, Probate Court (1876), Probate papers for Lemuel CRANE Jr. Case Number 12422 (Microfilm Reel C35574). Lemuel died 10 September 1876, intestate. On 18 Oct 1876 Gertrude CRANE, Lemuel's widow, relinquished her rights to administration of Lemuel's estate, to John H. CRANE (Lemuel's brother). According to John H. Crane's affidavit, Lemuel's heirs consisted on the widow Gertrude Crane, a daughter Gertrude Crane, and "an infant not yet named." [See below: Gertrude identifies her children as Gertrude and John. John was born in September 1876, possibly after his father's death.]
An inventory of Lemuel's estate filed 31 Oct 1876 indicated he had no real estate, had a $1000 life insurance policy with New York Life Insurance Co., and personal belongings.
On 31 Jan 1877 his widow Gertrude petitioned the Court as follows:
"The undersigned Gertrude Snell Crane widow of the late L. M. Crane Jr. deceased respectfully represents: that at the time of the death of said deceased there were no grain, meat, vegetables, groceries or other provisions on hand, and provided for the sustenance of the family thereof; and that she has two children viz Gertrude & John Minton Crane members of her family who are altogether supported by her. Wherefore she prays that your honorable court make an allowance to her in lieu of provisions not on hand as aforesaid as provided by law out of the assets of the estate of said deceased. And she believe that the sum of four hundred dollars would be a valuable allowance."
[NOTE: The $400 was allowed, but apparently not until Jan 1878!]

90. There is some question about Mr. JUNKERMAN's first name. In the 1880 census, he and his son are clearly recorded as "Augustus." The son Augustus is a dental student. In the 1890-91 Cincinnati directory, and the 1905 Ohio Physician and Dentist Directory, there is in Cincinnati a G. S. JUNKERMAN, dentist. In the 1900 Cincinnati census, the father's initials appear to be "G. S." or "G. F." At that time, the son was apparently deceased, but in 1920 in Cincinnati there was a Gustavus S. JUNKERMAN (of the correct age to be the son) who was teaching in a medical institution. His mother was reportedly born in Germany. I haven't been able to find any of these Junkermans in the 1850, 1860 or 1870 censuses.
There is also the possibility that Sarah CRANE was JUNKERMAN's second wife. "Augustus" JUNKERMAN Jr. was reportedly born ca 1859, two or three years before Sarah's reported marriage date. The 1900 census records her as having four children, only one of whom (Howard C. JUNKERMAN) was still living. If Augustus Jr. and Gustavus S. were the same person, being a child of a previous marriage would account for him still being alive in 1920, and could also account for him claiming a German-born mother (although the latter problem could just be a recording or reporting error on the census form).

115. Letter from Alex McCLURE of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, December 1854, introducing William B. CRANE, to the firm of Squier & Reed. McClure stated that Crane had worked for them "for some months past," he was from a respectable family, and "very industrious." Squier & Reed were iron merchants in St. Louis, Missouri.

116. Family lore is that William B. Crane attended school with Clarence KING. later chief of the U. S. Geological Survey, and studied geology and mining at that time. Crane and King were friends and business associates in later years in Idaho and Nevada, and were of a similar age (Crane born 1835, King born in 1842). However, King's education occurred in Massachusetts and Connecticut 1852-1860 [T. Wilkins (1988), Clarence King, a Biography. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press], when Crane was well documented as having been in Pennsylvania and Missouri.

126. There are two versions of how Alice Jane McCULLLY met William Bradford CRANE. William B. Crane, their grandson, wrote in a 1981 manuscript (unpublished, property of Alice [CRANE] VERRET) that they met at the Oregon State Fair in Salem, when William admired her cooking. Ruth M. (CHURCH) ROBERTSON, a granddaughter of William and his first wife Mary WILLIAMS, wrote in 1978 (unpublished manuscript; copy at Oregon Historical Society, Portland) that they met in Portland at Alice Jane's graduation from St. Mary's Academy. Considering the dates and locations, either story is possible. However, recent correspondence with St. Mary's Academy casts doubt on the story of Alice graduating there; in fact, no record can be found of her attendance, although it seems certain she attended for at least a short time.

127. The story of the McCully wagon train trip is told in: S. R. Wilbur and S. H. Wilbur (2000), The McCully Train: Iowa to Oregon 1852. Gresham, Oregon: SYMBIOS. 198 pages.

133. James E. Crane's biographical sketch in Reference #113 refers to "Morgantown Academy." However, Justin McHenry, of the Morgantown (West Virginia) Public Library wrote in 2005: "From what I can gather, there was no school in existence called the Morgantown Academy. There was the Monongalia Academy, which was a boys institute The Virginia Legislature incorporated the Monongalia Academy in 1814 There were two departments,, the Classical and Mathematical Dept., which taught Latin, Greek, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, surveying, conic sections, natural philosophy, and history; and the other dept. was the English Department which embraced all the branches usually taught in an English course "

134. James E. CRANE was probably sent to school at Thompson Academy in Thompson, Wyndham County, Connecticut, because his aunt Julia [CRANE] HOVEY and family lived in Thompson, and his cousin Frederica HOVEY was attending the Academy during the same time period.
From an October 1851 Thompson Academy brochure: "This is a new Institution, opened in May last, in the village of Thompson, Ct. The Academy building is commodious, pleasantly located in the centre of the village, and supplied with the most approved school furniture. New Apparatus, for the illustration of Natural Sciences, has lately been purchased.
"In establishing the school, the purpose has been to provide special facilities for the prosecution of study, both in the common and higher branches of education. It will continue to be the united aim of the Trustees and Teachers to provide ample means for the moral and intellectual training of those who are placed under their care."
In October 1851 the Academy enrollment was 33 boys and 43 girls. The courses taught (with tuition noted): Languages $5.50; English Branches $4.50; Elementary English Branches $3.50; Drawing in Pencil $2.00; Drawing in Crayon $3.00; Instructions on the Piano, 24 lessons $8.00

135. Reference #113 gives the marriage year of James E. CRANE and Ruth Jane GOODWIN as 1858, but Ruth was single and living with her parents on 18 August 1860, and was shown married to James in September 1860 (federal censuses).

161. There are many advertisements and news item in the "Owyhee Avalanche" (Silver City, Idaho Territory) in the 1860s and early 1870s related to the CRANE farm. For example, on 27 June 1868, this note appeared: "The First Fruits.-- On Thursday W. B. Crane received an installment of gooseberries, the first of the season, from his ranch near Boise City. Mr. Crane has expended a large amount of money on his ranch, but in return has the satisfaction of knowing that it is now one of the most beautiful and valuable in the Territory. The arrangement for irrigation is complete, water being conducted by means of ditches and hose to every portion of the cultivated grounds. There is a splendid young orchard of various kinds of fruit, among which are different varieties of apples, cherries, plums, etc. In two years hence the annual apple product is estimated at over five thousand boxes, which, of course, will be increased as the trees become older. There is also quite an extensive vinyard of the choicest grapes, besides gooseberries, strawberries, currants, etc., etc. Who says that Idaho can't raise her own luxuries?"

162. Letter of 14 November 1864 from James Harvey Crane to Mrs. R. A. Nutman: "We received a letter from my son Lewis in Idaho saying they are well. He had worked 7 months and saved $700 in gold in that time, was now going into a store. William (William B. CRANE) had sold some quartz that he had for 310 head of fat cattle. Had rented a store and was selling $2000 worth of meat a month."

163. Letter of 13 May 1872 from William B. Crane to his daughter Mary Louise Crane: "Your uncle Lewis my brother is dead. Tell Grand Ma he died in California. He had not been well for a good while - and they wrote me that he died of consumption."

The following advertisement for C. W. Crane ran every week from 3 August 1867 to 7 March 1868. It was identical to the old W. B. Crane ad except for the heading "C. W. CRANE" and a new date: Silver City, I. T., August 1, 1867.

175.The following information is included on "World Family Trees" at Ancestry.com. These "trees" are mostly done anonymously, with little or no supporting references, and are rife with errors (much like the Mormon ancestral files). I put this information here tentatively (with parenthetical notes/questions) until I can find some confirmation.
Joseph Solomon BURPEE b. 14 Oct 1830 Huron County, Ohio (NOTE: all Federal censuses put his birth date in 1831 or 1832); died 21 April 1916 Oakland, California; ca 1848 went to California, then to Oregon by 1853; furniture store in Jacksonville, Oregon; father Pearson BURPEE b. 14 Jan 1790 Chittenden, Rutland Co., VT; mother Cynthia BARTLETT b. 6 May 1804 New York; married 1st on 9 June 1859 Irene Josephine (NOTE: she is identified on Oregon deeds as "Jane," not Josephine) SPICER born Sandusky, Ohio, died 9 August 1878; married 2nd Josephine CRANE 14 August 1879.

182. In the June 1860 census of Jacksonville, Oregon, Irene (SPICER) BURPEE, Lester SPICER, and Charles SPICER are all recorded. Their parents are still living in Erie County, Ohio, in August 1860. As Irene was only 18 years old in June 1860, it seems unlikely that she left her parents before, say, 1858. Her marriage to Joseph BURPEE so soon after arrival in Jacksonville may be coincidental, but Joseph reportedly came from the same area of Ohio as the Spicers, and it is possible that she was coming west to meet him.

184. The federal censuses are about evenly split in identifying Cary FULTON's birthplace as Pennsylvania or Ohio. Pennsylvania has seemed logical, since Cary's family occupied the same farm in Greene County, Pennsylvania, from at least 1850, when he was seven years old. A passage from S. P. Bates' 1888 "History of Greene County, Pennsylvania" (Chicago: Nelson, Rishforth & Co., pages 784-785) clarifies: "Samuel Fulton [Cary's father] was born January 10, 1818 on the farm where he and his family reside in Morgan Township (A)fter his second marriage [in 1838] (he) moved to Richland County, Ohio. Remaining there about nine years, he returned to Morgan Township"

193. Julia F. HOVEY was alive at the time of the 22 June 1900 Federal census, living with her father and sister at Honey Creek, Iowa. She was not recorded in the 17 April 1910 Honey Creek enumerations, and I haven't located her anywhere else. Her sister's obituary in November 1926 stated that Julia had died previously.

194. Anonymous (1926), Obituary: Mary Adelaide Hovey. "Record" (Victor, Iowa), 2 December 1926, page 1.

195. Mary Hovey's obituary (item 194, above) stated that she attended Vassar College during its first year of operation. That would have been in 1861, when Mary was only 13 years old. The obituary goes on to state that she moved from Vassar to Iowa in 1866, putting her year in school as 1865 or 1866, which seems more likely than her being in the inaugural class.

217. Margaret Jane SERVICE is named on several Internet family trees as the wife of Horatio HENNION. I can't find any specific documentation of this, but the September 1850 federal census for Union County, South Carolina, has a Margaret SERVICE, age 13, in the home of Margaret SERVICE, 49, born Ireland. Union County probate indices show a James SERVICE, who died in 1848, and a James SERVICE household in Union County 1840, with a daughter under 5 years of age. This fits with the information on Margaret J. HENNION given in later censuses: born ca 1837 in South Carolina, of Irish parents.

228. I found a World Wide Web record (without documentation) that Margaret Florence HENNION died 30 January 1935 at Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts.

229. Some World Wide Web sites list the wife of Herbert HENNION as Mary Jane FLYNN. I can find no confirmation of that, but in the 1880 census of Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey, there was a Mary J. FLYNN, age 13, daughter of Thomas and Mary (___) FLYNN, who emigrated from Ireland ca 1865. This matches closely with information given on Mary J. HENNION in later censuses.

233. The 1900 Federal census reported that Margaret Jane (SERVICE) HENNION gave birth to eleven children, three of which had died before June 1900. I have identified nine of the eleven. Other names suggested on various World Wide Web sites are: Ruby HENNION (ca 1873), Thomas Service HENNION (26 April 1875), and Pearl Louisa HENNION (1 April 1881). So far, I haven't found documentation for any of these.

251. Family tradition is that Clarence CRANE was named after Clarence KING, first director of the U. S. Geological Survey. Clarence's father, William Bradford CRANE, knew King as early as October 1867, when King visited Silver City, Idaho (stagecoach arrival records), and in November 1867 they were working together on a copper mine venture (letter from King to W. B. Crane 25 November 1867), so family tradition may be accurate.

252. W. H. King, editor (1904), History of Homeopathy and its institutions in America. New York: Lewis Publishing Company. A biographical sketch of Clarence CRANE appears in Volume IV, page 175. Biographical information on Stella (HOWARD) CRANE is also in Volume IV, page 191.

253. The founding of the Burrage Hospital for Crippled Children was announced in the "New York Times" 2 August 1901: "Home for Crippled Children.

261. The 1900 federal census for San Francisco, California, provided Edward THURMAN's birth month and year. Censuses in 1900, 1910 (Eden, Alameda County, California) and 1920 agree that his father was born in Virginia and his mother in Kentucky.

267. According to the federal censuses in 1900, 1920 and 1930, Margaret (ELLIOTT) SCHOONOVER's father was born in Pennsylvania, and her mother in Ohio. I haven't found any families in earlier censuses that match that description.

268. Shasta County, California, voter registrations for various years 1879 to 1912 posted on the Shasta County GenWeb website. Thomas SCHOONOVER first appeared in 1879, then in 1894 and 1896. The 1894 and 1896 voter lists noted that (as an identifying characteristic) he was missing his right hand. The 1896 list gave his occupation as bridge watchman.

269. The California Register for 1898 (part of an Ancestry.com database) describes Thomas SCHOONOVER as a resident of Mable, Shasta County, occupation bridge watchman.

270. U. S. Federal Census 1920 - Kennett, Shasta County, California

271. I have been unable to locate any of the George B. SCHOONOVER family in the 1910 censuses, and in 1920 Margaret SCHOONOVER is listed as head of household and George could not be located. The 1912 Shasta County voter registrations show George registered at Antler in Delta Precinct and Margaret in Redding, California. (Perhaps Margaret was living in town because of their school age children.). George and Margaret were living together at the time of the 1930 census.

281. I haven't been able to positively trace the parents of Ellen (FEARN) CRANE prior to the June 1900 federal census, when they were living in Oakland, Alameda County, California. Both John FEARN and his wife Sarah were reportedly born in England, as was their son John FEARN, all emigrating to the United States in 1874. In the 1880 census of Hedgeville, Berkeley County, West Virginia, there is a family consisting of three people with the same names and ages as given in the 1900 census for Ellen's family. However, the elder John FEARN (spelled FERIN in the census) was reportedly born in Holland, not England. Also, he was described as a cabinet maker in 1880, but Ellen's father and brother were reportedly physicians in 1900.

289. From "Past and Present of Alameda County, California" (1914, S. J. Clarke Publishing Company), page 56: "In 1883, he {Lester BURPEE) returned to Oakland and here secured a position as clerk in the office of the deputy city marshal, while at the end of a year he became deputy in the office of the city treasurer, discharging the duties of the latter position for six months. Subsequently he was employed as bookkeeper in several mercantile houses until 1886, in which year he entered the First National Bank as bookkeeper, afterward serving as exchange clerk, receiving teller and cashier in that institution. In 1906 he was elected vice President and in that position has since remained an important factor in the control and management of the bank, being also a director. He likewise acts as vice president and director of the First Trust & Savings Bank, which is affiliated with the First National Bank. His rise in financial circles is further attested by the fact that he is now serving as vice president of the Oakland Clearing House, while formerly he was a director of the People's Water Company and the New Oakland Hotel."
