    October, 1696, he was appointed one of the Overseers of the estate of Robert Wade. Appointed by the Assistants a Lieutenant October 1703. Was chosen Deputy to the General Court of Windham 1701, 1703, 1705, 1707 to 1714, 1717, 1718, 1721 and 1722.

    At the first public meeting of the settlers of Windham, Conn., held May 18, 1691, Jonathan Crane was one of the four persons directed to run the town lines, which work had been accomplished by May 28, at which time another meeting was held, and he with Joshua Ripley and Jonathan Ginnings were chosed to make division of the meadows at four shillings per day for their services. During the summer he built and set in operation his grist-mill, which was on the site of what is now known as Brigham's Mill.
