Descendants of Moses and Isabell (Clark) Crawford of Bucks County, Pennsylvania - Allen W. Scholl. This large volume is the result of seventy years of dedicated research. It includes information on the direct line of Crawfords as well as related families. The work is an extention of the Crawford line from Thor "The Tall" son of Leofwine (ancestor of the House of Crawford) to Crawfords in America that can be connected with the descendants of Captain Thomas Crawford (1550-1605) of Jordan Hill fame. The story begins with the Moses Crawford family of Bucks County Pennsylvania. 1993, 800 pp., 2 vols., illus., maps, index, paper, $56.50 #ZS136
Edward Colborne of Ipswich, Massachusetts, 1618-1712, and Five Generations of His Descendants Kenneth L. Bosworth. This book traces five generations of the descendants of Edward Colborne, who arrived in New England in 1635 and settled first in Ipswich. This extensive work contains many original documents: birth, death, and marriage certificates, transcripts of wills, Civil War records, maps, and photographs. This book should assist many people who are interested in the Colburn lineage of Carol Rose (Colburn) Bosworth, especially those generations following Justin Colburn of Dracut, Massachusetts. Related families, include Richardson, Reed, Awrey, and Bosworth. 1994, 286 pp., 8.5x11, illus., maps, every-name index, paper, $43.00 #ZB579
The Cram Sourcebook - Michael Cram. These three volumes contain a comprehensive history of the von Cramm and Cram families in Germany, Great Britain, Canada and the United States over eight centuries and 23 generations. More than 200,000 family members are included.
Volume One traces the origins of the von Cramm family in 13th-century Germany and develops both the English and modern German branches. Twenty generations of the German line--"from their tribal origins to the present"--are here represented. The family tree of Scottish Crams who emigrated to Canada in the early 19th century is included as well. In the appendices can be found the von Cramm heraldry and family crest, notes on the von Cramm estate in Oelber, Germany (plus a photo of same), a transcript of the will of Burchard Cramm of Felling, England (1609), and Cram entries in the Bishop's transcripts of Lincolnshire Parish Registers, among other papers. 1996, 216 pp., 8.5x11, illus., append., index, paper, $35.500 #ZC605
Volume Two details the first seven generations of Crams in America, all descended from John Cram, who emigrated from England to Boston and was allotted land at Muddy River in 1637. Some Cram family members later moved to Maine; others migrated west following the Revolutionary War, into the Midwest and Plains states, and on to California. The movements of all can be followed in these pages. Appendices include a history of the Muddy River allotments and a map of John Cram's allotment; transcripts of the wills of John Cram (1665), Benjamin Cram (1707/8) and Thomas Cram (1751); a memoir of Mrs. Jane Cram (1811), and other documents. 1996, 524 pp., 8.5x11, illus., map, append., index, paper, $72.50 #ZC606
Volume Three chronicles three American generations of the Cram family in modern times, from the early 19th century to the present. Included are entries for many living family members, the result of 15 years' worth of correspondence between the author and related families. This volume contains a comprehensive bibliography of sources consulted during research for all three volumes. 1996, 159 pp., 8.5x11, index, paper, $28.00 #ZC607
A Crocker Genealogy, Volume 2 - Andrea Leonard. Following the 1995 publication of A Crocker Genealogy, a great deal of related information began coming to light. This, along with a number of recent births, has prompted the release of this second volume, which is a companion or supplement to Volume 1. To trace each addition or correction included in this volume, readers will need to refer to Volume 1. Each addition or correction is headed with the relevant page number in Volume 1, followed by a source code, followed by the Henry system identification number for the individual in question, followed by the new information.
In addition to the main line of descendants from Deacon William Crocker who traveled from England to Boston in 1634, two other lines are presented in the hope that a missing link will be found as a result of this publication. The book presents fourteen generations of descendants as well as a thorough discussion of William Crocker's background and family origins in England (considerably expanded from the discussion of the English Crockers in Volume 1). Other additions for this volume include the will of Deacon William Crocker and excerpts from the 1861-1867 diary of Charles Wilson Crocker. The everyname index contains over 3,000 names.
The author is a direct descendant of Deacon William Crocker and has spent most of her life in the town of Barnstable. For fifteen years she wrote a regular column for a local weekly newspaper, and she has contributed articles to the magazine Cape Cod Life. In addition to the two Crocker genealogies, Ms. Leonard has written Osterville, Twice Remembered and Records of the Proprietors of the Common Lands in the Town of Barnstable, Massachusetts, 1703-1795 (for the latter, check our MASSACHUSETTS listings in the Main Catalog). 1997, 244 pp., bibl., appendix, everyname index, paper, $24.00 #ZL157
Simon Crosby the Emigrant: His English Ancestry and Some of His American Descendants - Eleanor Davis Crosby. Until the publication of this book, the majority of Crosbys in America were known to be descended from Simon Crosby of Rowley, MA, who emigrated from England in 1635, but very little was known of the immigrant's family background and life prior to America. The author has now traced the family line back another five generations to 1440. The first chapter gives an account of this English ancestry up to Simon's father, Thomas, who eventually followed his son to MA and who is more fully treated in chapter two. Subsequent chapters focus on Simon (both in England and MA), other early Crosbys in MA, Crosbys in the Revolutionary War, and "present-day" Crosbys (15 generations after John Crosby in 1914). (1914) reprint, 159 pp., illus., append., indices, paper, $18.00>#ZC658
