CRANDALL (Attleboro family). The family
bearing this name in Attleboro, so lately
represented by George N. Crandall, who died
at his home in that city, Aug. 17, 1902, at
the advanced age of eighty-two years, nine
months, is twenty days,
a branch of the
Charlestown, R. I., family of the name, the
birthplace of the deceased.
The Charlestown Crandalls and those of
Westerly, of which town Charlestown at one
time formed a part, sprang from the Newport
family, the progenitor of which, John
Crandall, is said to have come to Boston in
1634 or 1635, but being persecuted on account
of his Baptist principles, removed to Providence
and later to Newport. He was early
associated with the Baptists at the latter place,
subsequently becoming the first elder of that
denomination at Westerly. In 1660 he became
associated with others in the purchase
of the Misquamicutt tract of land on the Pawcatuck
river, now known as Westerly. With
other founders of Westerly Mr. Crandall settled
on the Misquamicutt land before 1665.
He was commissioner for a numlier of years,
served as deputy from both Newport and
Westerly, and in other capacities which evidence
that he was a man of importance.
Through the seven sons of Elder Crandall—
Jacob, James, Peter, Joseph, Samuel, Jeremiah
and Eber— the name became a common
one and the family numerous in Rhode Island.
The late George N. Crandall, alluded to in
the foregoing, was a son of George N. and
Thankful (Greene) Crandall, and as well
sprang from early Rhode Island families on
his mother's side, she being a direct descendant
of John Greene, of Kings Towne, R. I.,
who came to Narragansett about 1639, living
in the family of Richard Smith. From this
John Greene, the Christian name of whose
