Genealogies of New Jersey Families: Families A-Z, article entitled "Rebecca, the Wife of Azariah Crane II" by William Y. Pryor pp. 181 - 182

According to Find A Grave:

"Born c.1690-91, it is uncertain* whether Mrs. Crane's maiden name was Prince or Lamson/Lampson. She died "Aged 48 years", the wife of Azariah Crane (born c.1682), whom she is believed to have married in 1706, when she was in her mid-teens. It is not known whether the wedding took place in New Milford, Connecticut, or in New Jersey. The couple subsequently had children named Rebecca, Azariah, Job,Gamaliel, Ezekial, and Stephen."

"Mrs. Crane's grave is marked by a brown sandstone stele featuring a winged skull in its tympanum, a grim soul effigy which was popular during the early colonial period, but which largely gave way to soul effigies of the portrait type by the mid-1700's. It appears to be the work of a craftsman known only as the "Common Jersey Carver". Rebecca's survivors at the time of her death included her husband."

"Although Rebekah Crane's maiden name has been given as "Lamson" and "Lampson" in some sources, evidence suggests that it is more likely that she was the daughter of Job Prince, a sea captain, and the former Rebecca (nee Phippen) Baldwin, a widow at the time of her marriage to Job. (See Genealogy of New Jersey Families, Volume I, p.180-181, for discussion of maiden name controversy.)"
