Rufus Crane - Undid Disconnect

Faustine Darsey on partial hiatus I undid the Disconnect of Rufus from his parents that you did recently (on Tuesday of this week).

The sources given in the About prove his parentage.

In the Lyon genealogy on pps. 106 and 123, his death date is off by ten years, given as 1804 instead of 1814. But everything else matches:

95. IV. 40. HANNAH4 LYON [Benjamin3, Benjamin, Esq.2, Henry1] married JONAS4 CRANE [John3, Azariah2, Jasper1] born in 1718. Hannah (Lyon) Crane and her husband, Jonas Crane, died Jan. 26, 1745, and were buried together.

Son of Jonas and Hannah (Lyon) Crane: *287. I. Rufus; b. 1744; died 1804.

287. V. 95. RUFUS5 CRANE [Hannah4 (Lyon), Benjamin3, Benjamin Esq.2, Henry1] was born at Lyons Farms 1744, and died in 1804. He was precentor of music in the First Presbyterian Church at Newark at the age of nineteen. Rufus Crane was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, a private in Col. Philip Van Courtland's Second Essex Regiment. He married first Mary4 Plum [John3, John2, Samuel1], who died after 1774. He married second Charity, daughter of John and Rebecca (Baldwin) Campbell.
