Notes	"Joseph, Jr., son of Joseph and Mary Crane, was born in 1757, and married Deliverance MIlls. They lived in Milton, Mass., after their marriage until their first child, Jesse, was several months of age, when they removed to Washington, N.H., which must have been late in 1782 or early 1783. They settled on the south-east slope of Lovell's mountain, near the spot where John Vose settled. After a fewyears he removed his family to a house which stood on the mountain road to Washington Center, about a half mile east of the Vose place, and short distance east of the house which was long the home ofJoel Severance. Here they lived until the infirmities of age compelled them to give up their home and make their home with their children. Joseph Crane died in Washington, June 30, 1841. His wife died Aug. 17, 1845. Some years prior to her death she sustained a severe fracture to her thigh, which made her a cripple the remainder of her life." In our copy of "Pierce Gage and his descendants" there is an old note that says Joseph Crane was born 1757. The names of their children Jesse Cran Born May 6th 1782 Joseph Crane Born July 17 1784 Samuel Crane Born May 6th 1786 Lydia Crane Born June 8th 1787 William Crane Born Solomon Crane Born March 26 1793 James Crane Born Hiba Crane Born Nov 19th 1798 Joseph Crane Died June 30th 1841 Aged 84 Deliverance Crane Died Aug 17th 1845 Aged 88 Joseph Crane, Jr., was born August 4, 1757, in Milton, Massachusetts, where he was reared and acquired his education. He married Deliverance Mills, a native of the same village with himself. About 1782, when about twenty-five years of age, he removed to Washington, New Hampshire, where he passed the remainder of his life, and where he died June 30, 1841, at the advanced age of eighty-four years. His widow survived him, and died August 17, 1845. They were the genuine pioneer type, of strong character, persistent industry, and living lives marked with all the domestic virtues. In religon they were Baptists. Among their children was Ziba, born in Wasty- ington, New Hampshire, November 19, 1796. He was reared on the family homestead and began his education in the neighborhood schools. He then learned blacksmithing, and followed his trade until he was forty-eight years of age, when he bought a farm upon which he made his home. He was a Baptist, and took an active part in church affairs, at different times occupying various official positions. He married Roxanna Proctor, who was born in Windsor, Vermont, March 12, 1801, and who died Apiil 27, 1844, aged fifty- three years, after bearing him four children, of whom are now living three—Roxanna, widow of Henry Smith; Willard; and David G. Crane. The father of these children later married for his second wife Eunice Boutelle, who is now living in NewHampshire. He exceeded his father in longevity, living until October 21, 1885, and dying at the age of eighty-nine years.
