-Unsure of Mary Myrick's parentage. Some sources give Samuel Myrick and Experience Briggs as the parents, but then others say this Mary was born 1729 which is too late.
-Benjamin Crane's parents died when he was still a boy, so he was given custody of to Elklannah Babbit and Daniel Axtell: "Text: Appt. of Daniel Axtill & Elkanah Bobbitt, both of Digh., as guards. of Tabatha, Benjamin, Seth &
Mary Crane, chldn. of BENJAMIN CRANE of Digh., dtd. 20 Apr. 1724/5 [5:64/5]. " . Benjamin,JR in turn, would die before his own only son was born.
