Notes:

Name:
Nov. 13, 1711, after the death of his brother, Capt. John Crane, he was appointed administrator of his father's estate. April 8, 1712, he rendered account of the estate to the Probate Court at New London, the original paper now (1880) being on file at that office, made out and signed in this own handwriting. His share of the personal property was L22 1s. 6p, and as the homestead of his father, Capt. Henry
Crane, could not be divided at this time without injury, the court ordered it to Theophilus at an appraised valuation, he to pay the remaining heirs for their portions of the estate within two years from date, April 8, 1711, with interest at six per cent per annum. by this we lear that he purchased the old homestead and we presume resided there. The town records give him the title of sergeant. He died Oct. 24, 1732, leaving a will which he executed March 29, 1731.

Theophilus married Margaret LANE on 5 Dec 1699. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
