    Will of John Crane of Elizabeth Town, dated 7 Feb 1722, proved 16 Feb 1722-3, names eldest son John Crane, second son Joseph, third son Matthias, youngest son Samuel; wife Esther; daughters Hannah, Abigail, Esther, Sarah, Rebeccah and Deborah Crane. Executors: wife Esther, friend Jonathan Dickinson, brother Jeremiah Crane.
    [Hmmm, in Source:Lee, Francis Bazley. Genealogical and Memorial History of the State of New Jersey, p. 26, the abstract of the will adds a son Benjamin and doesn't mention a daughter Hannah. Source:Adams, Sherman W. History of Ancient Wethersfield, Connecticut, p. 2:828, includes both Benjamin and Hannah, "acc. to his will". The last appears to be the correct answer (see here)?]
