"On 12 August 1634, John Winthrop reported that '[about] midnight, one Craford (who came this summer) with his brother and servant, having put much goods in a small boat in Charles River, over against Richard Brown his house, overset the boat with the weight of some hogsheads (as was supposed), so as they were all three drowned; yet one of them could swim well, and though the neighbors came running forth, instantly, upon their cry, yet none could be saved' [WJ 1:165].

All four of the men who were appointed to settle the estate of 'Mr. [blank] Craford' resided at Watertown, suggesting that this was also the residence of the decedent during his brief sojourn in New England. John Wolcott {1634, Watertown} acquired soon after his arrival a wife Winifred, who had borne by an earlier husband a daughter Rebecca Crawford. On this basis we have concluded that the short-lived immigrant Crawford had been husband of this Winifred."[1]
