     James Crandall was born about 1651 probably in Newport, Rhode Island.2
     He was dissatisfied with the settlement of his father's estate, which was all left to his eldest brother John, and left home at age 21, settling on Long Island, nearly opposite Watch Hill.2 His wife was not a Seventh Day Baptist like the rest of his family, and he was therefore disowned by them.2
     He took the oath of allegiance in Westerly, Rhode Island, on 17 September 1679, and was listed as a freeman in 1681.2 He and his family later moved to Cape May Co., New Jersey.2

     Peter Crandall was born about 1655 in Westerly, Rhode Island.2 He married Mary Badcock, daughter of James Badcock and Jane Brown.2 He died in 1734.2
     He took the oath of allegiance in Westerly, Rhode Island, on 17 May 1679; was listed as a freeman in 1681; served as deputy from 1699 to 1704; and served as Justice of the Peace and Lieutenant of the militia.2 The records of the marriage between Peter Crandall and Mary Badcock, and/or between George Brown and Mary Badcock, apparently are uncertain at best. Quoting the Crandall genealogy,

     [Peter Crandall] married Mary Babcock, dau. of James Jr. and Jane () Babcock. The records of this family are not clear. The data taken from Arnold's Vit. Records of R. I. contain a mistake, but just what it is and where it is seems impossible to determine at this date. From the records it would appear that Jane ____, who first married James Babcock, Jr. later married a Brown; that as the wife of James Babcock, she was the mother of Mary who married Peter Crandall and that as the wife of Mr. Brown, she was the mother of George Brown who married Charity, the dau. of Peter and Mary (Babcock) Crandall. Howard Crandall tried during his lifetime to straighten out the tangle with the result that he wrote: By the records Mary Babcock and George Brown were half brother and sister; that Charity Crandall was the wife and also the niece of George Brown; that Peter Crandall was brother-in-law to his son-in-law George Brown; that Jane Brown was grandmother and mother-in-law of Charity (Crandall) Brown; that Jane Brown was mother-in-law of Peter Crandall, which would make Mary Babcock, wife of Peter Crandall, his sister-in-law. This would also make Charity marrying her uncle, George Brown. Mr. Crandall finally gave up the problem and no one since his time has been able to solve it.2
