Interim Material [16 June 2008]

From Doug Franz

Mary (or Polly) who married John Hall about 1805. She was a daughter of a John Crank whose will was written in Feb. 1803 and probated in Apr. 1803 in Russell Co. In the will (see the Russell Co. webpage) he names his wife and children. Wife Elizabeth survives him, and the children are William, Abraham, and Robert ("my three youngest sons", not yet of age) and the older children are named as John, James, Dorothy Kelley, Elizabeth Bundy, and Polly. Although not proven, John Crank of the will is likely the same man who served in the Russell Co. militia in 1774, and may also be the man who served in the French and Indian war. I haven't seen this proven yet either. In my family tree, I estimate John Crank's birthdate as about 1740, based on the birthdates of the children and the militia service. I know nothing about John Crank's parents. I think that the James Crank mentioned in the will is the man who married Ellender Taylor ("Nelly") and moved to Knox Co., KY. I have a copy of a deed from Russell Co. dated 1804 by which James and wife Nelly sell 50 acres of land in Russell Co. which they had purchased in 1801. A James Crank is listed in the Knox Co. census in 1810. Does your George connect to James?
