During the Revolutionary War Joseph Crane served as a Private in Colonel Jeduthan Baldwin's Artificer Regiment.

The artificers who supported the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War were specialty units, skilled artisans and mechanics who kept military equipment in good working order so the troops could operate effectively.
They typically served under the jurisdiction of the Chief Engineer in the Quartermaster General’s Department, but were separate from other engineer regiments. In the Continental Army, George Washington established a Corps of Artificers that was often organized into specialized companies reflecting specific skills.
