| Notes |
- !Tradition states that he first appears in Salem, MA in 1634/35 amd rem
oves to
Providence with Roger Williams about 1636. However the first real
documentation of Elder John is as a grand juror in Newport, RI 8 Sep 16
43.
![Extensive research in both civil and church records of Salem, Lynn,
Rehoboth, and Swansea, MA as well as in early Providence and Newport, R
I show
absolutely no record of Elder John until 1643, even though there is fre
quent
mention of Roger Williams, Obadiah Holmes, and John Clark.]
!He is one of the six purchasers of Misquamicutt (Westerly), RI in 1661
, and
builds his homestead there on Pound Road circa 1665.
!He was perhaps the first Baptist Elder in the U.S. (according to tradi
tion),
later converting to the Seventh Day Baptist faith, holding meetings at h
is
home in Westerly, RI.
!He removed to Newport because of the dangers of the King Philip Wars i
1676,
and, while there, he died.
!He is buried in the family burial ground on the Homestead (Historical
Cemetery #15). His monument was erected by CRANDALL FAMILY ASSOCIATION 2
7 MAY
1991.
!THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOCUMEMTATION for the tradition that he is the s
on of
a Sir John CRANDALL & Elizabeth DRAKE of Monmouthshire, Wales.

!The township of "Westerleigh" is certainly very circumstantial evidenc
e,
since he was one of the founders of "Westerly", Rhode Island.
