Hello Martin County List,
Thanks to all of you who already sent me information regarding my posting yesterday. So
many replies that I decided to just post a thanks to all of you. Many are asking who
I'm interested in that are in the Crane property cemeteries. I have a daughter who is
married to an ABEL. This ABEL family line has connections to these families.
1. LYON
2. CRANE
3. CLEMENTS
4. GRIMSTEAD
5. FLOOD
I'm sure some of these Family lines have members now in one or more of the Crane
cemeteries. I'm quite sure a William Thomas CRANE who was born 2/10/1828 & died
7/27/1882 was married to Elizabeth FLOOD born 6/21/1837 & died 4/11/1895 are both in
the West Union Cemetery on Crane. I would suspect this might be the CRANE Family who
maybe owned the land that is now CRANE Navel Base.
Looks like I have made contact with a great group of people on the Martin County list.
Thanks again for all the help.
I have been doing family research for the past 18 years & I'm just getting started
on this group of family lines, now that I have a connection with them. I already have some
data on file for some of these families so if you are researching any of these names let
me know. I'll be glad to help if I can.
