• From: Elder John Crandall of Rhode Island and His Descendants, by John Cortland Crandall (1949):
  • His house was near Burdens Pond and a part of it now stands, as one room in the homestead occupied by lineal descendants, of the ninth and tenth generations. Across from the house in the old orchard field is the original cemetery, in which twenty seven bodies are buried. There are three rows of graves containing nine bodies each.
  • These rows of graves run parallel with a swamp nearby. Elder John is buried in the row nearest the swamp in the end grave to the left as one stands facing the swamp. Next to his (John Sr) grave is that of his son John. Each of the twenty seven graves is indicated by a field stone some 14 inches in width, appearing four to eight inches above the ground set at the head while a smaller stone marks the foot of the grave. There is no inscription on any of the stones.
  • On the 6th day of October 1932 A. Julian Crandall of Ashaway, Rhode Island and Rev. Wm. S.

Biography

John Crandall II has English ancestors.
JOHN CRANDALL was the son of Elder John Crandall, his mother's name unknown. He married Elizabeth Gorton, daughter of Samuel Gorton and Elizabeth Maplet, on 18 Jun 1672 at Warwick, Rhode Island.[1]

John and Elizabeth had five children: John; Elizabeth Wilcox; Mary (bef. 1681-1763); Peter; and Samuel.

Some sources say he was a blacksmith.

In 1667 his father gifted him land in Westerly, Rhode Island, however the Connecticut colony filed a complaint that the land belonged to the town of Stonington. In 1670 he inherited his father’s “mansion” and 200 acres of land. In 1671 he became a freeman.

In a deed dated 13 May 1678, Elder John Crandall's house and 200 acres of land in Westerly were turned over by John Crandall Jr., son and heir, to his brothers Jeremiah and Eber (minors) who were "in the tuition of their mother Hannah Crandall".[1]

In 1695 he is noted living in Warwick, as he and Peter Wells had the local government vote on who had jurisdiction of their land, Kingstown or Westerly. Both he and Elizabeth died in 1704, in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.

John died between 25 Jan and 14 Aug 1704.[1] He was buried at the Old Crandall Cemetery in Westerly, Washington County, Rhode Island.
