Born between 1606 & 1615 in England. Married Elizabeth Goodwin between 1628 & 1645. Died 16 Jan 1685/6 in Hartford, Connecticut.
John Crow was born about 1606. He arrived by 1639. He probably married first in England; the name of his first wife has not been discovered. She was the mother of his four or five oldest children, who were also probably born in England.
John Crow is only mentioned in "The Great Migration." (He is not the subject; that is a different John Crow.). Under William Andrews, mention is made of John Crow in the Hartford inventory for William Andrews, ""one acre and one rood of "Indian Ground lying in the South Meadow which he had of John Crow" (annotated "March 7th 1647," presumably indicating the date of purchase..." He is also named under William Goodwin as the husband of William's daughter, Elizabeth. It is unknown which children were born in England to his first wife--it has been written that his "four or five oldest children" were born to his first wife, and that he married Elizabeth between 1640 and 1644.
He married second Elizabeth, the only known child of Elder William Goodwin, of Hartford, Connecticut. He [Goodwin] came to America in 1634; and was one of those who went through the Wilderness with Rev. Thomas Hooker, 1638; and settled Hartford. His name is on the monument in the Hartford cemetery, erected in memory of the first settlers there. John was a wealthy man, associated in business with his father-in-law, Elder Goodwin, Hartford; and was one of the founders and settlers of Hadley, Mass., 1659.
John returned to Hartford, 1678, and died Jan. 18, 1686. His sons were dissipated and squandered their property. His daughters married some of the ablest men in the Colony. At least two children were from a first unknown wife: Hester and John.
John married Elizabeth between 1640 and 1644. All the children's birth dates are estimates, usually determined by marriage dates. There are no records for the births of his children; they are named in his will. Christopher Crow isn't listed in histories as a child of John Crow; he died before John and is most likely his son. Relatively little vital information is available for this family.
His children:
Hester, born 1628, England; married Giles Hamlin.
John, merchant, Fairfield, Connecticut; died 1667, unmarried.
Samuel,
Nathaniel, of Hartford; died July 2, 1695.
Daniel, of Hartford; died Aug 12, 1695.
Sarah, born Mar 1, 1646/7; married Daniel White, of Hatfield, Mass.
Hannah, born July 13, 1649; married Thomas Dickinson, of Wethersfield, Ct.
Elizabeth, born about 1650; married William Warren and Phineas Wilson, the latter a wealthy merchant from Dublin, Ireland. She kept up the business after his death and became an extensive banker. (Some debate on the authenticity of the claim of second marriage, see LHHW-J5H.)
Mehitable, born about 1652; married Col. Samuel Partridge, of Hatfield, Mass.
Mary, born 1654; married Noah Coleman and Peter Montague, of Hadley, Mass.
Ruth, born 1656; married William Gaylord and John Haley, both of Hadley.
