Ephraim or Ephrim Crafts or Craft. Father of Thomas Crafts. Many of Thomas Crafts' closest associates were his extended family (by marriages as well as by birth) and therefore his cousins are relevant, which is the reason for linking to Alice and Griffin Craft. Information found online needs to be vetted by careful research. Burial unknown to this author.

According to the Craft Genealogy, there is no record of his death or that of his wife. Ephraim Crafts married Hannah Read/Reed/Reid at Chelmsford, Middlesex, Massachusetts, on May 15, 1699. Dates sourced using Family Search. [Note that this Hannah's parents aren't known — a Hannah the daughter of Daniel Read/Reed and Hannah Peck married a Mr. Taft and she died in 1704, so cannot be this Hannah Read Crafts.]:

Ephraim Crafts sold land in the year 1732/33. As per Craft Genealogy, his wife did not sign and therefore is presumed to have already died.

History:
John Craft was born in Roxbury, Mass., 10 July, 1630, being the first birth recorded in the records of the town of Roxbury. A family tradition, handed down from past generations, is to the effect that his birth took place on board ship before landing. He married in Roxbury, 7, June 1654, Rebecca, daughter of Ralph and Rebecca Wheelock of Dedham and Medfield, Mass. From Tilden's History of Medfield, we learn that Ralph Wheelock was born in Shropshire, Eng., in 1600, and his daughter Rebecca is believed to have been born there prior to his coming to this country. Ralph Wheelock settled in Dedham, Mass., in 1637. He was educated at Clare Hall, Cambridge. He was a dissenting preacher, and came from England when the tide of persecution ran highest. He went first to Watertown, and thence to Dedham at the time of its first settlement in 1637, and was active in the formation of the church there. He was a Freeman in 1639. In 1642 he was appointed a local magistrate, and Clerk of the Writs, and in 1645 was authorized to solemnize marriages in Dedham. He was the founder of Medfield, Mass., building there in 1651 or 2, his house lot being the first granted. He was a selectman in Medfield from 1651 to 1655, and was the first schoolmaster there, in 1655. He was a Deputy to the General Court several years, and was a magistrate in Medfield and Mendon. We give this brief biographical sketch of Ralph Wheelock, the father of John Craft's wife, to show the high standing which the family had in the community at that time. Rebecca, wife of John Craft became a member of the church at Roxbury, 2 July 1663. She died in Roxbury 24 Nov. 1667. He married, second wife, 30 Mch. 1669, " Mary Hudson of Lynn." She died 3 Jan. 1724. From the Roxbury Church Records we learn that on the " 4th May 1684, John Craft confessed his sins that were publik and so was admitted to take hold on the Covenant." He died in Roxbury 3 Sept. 1685, at the age of 55. From the Records of the town of Roxbury we glean the following facts : " 1657, Jan. 19 was granted a parcell of land to John Craft from his barne end and so to the river to be viewed and staked out by his naibors for his conveniancy, and thaire best predeiuse, namely, by Peleg Heath, Rob Pepper, Willyam Gery and Rob Sever."

"The same day (19 Jan. 1657) ware chosen to run the lines between Boston, Cambridge and Dedham, John Johnson, Capt. Johnson, Lieut. Craft, Peleg Heath and John Craft."

"3, 11, 1675, a small quantity of land was granted unto Shewball Sever on the west side of Stoney River core the now dwelling-house of John Craft." From these extracts we learn that he lived on the west side of Stoney River, and from the will of William Curtis we are able to fix very nearly the exact location. Referring to his home lot Wm. Curtis says in his will, (dated 11 Feb. 1669,) "tene acars of it lyeth in Roxbury by Stooney River, as it now lyeth, be the same more or less, with the aforesayd housings, orchards and yards, and these abutting upon Stooney river Easter, and upon the land of Isaac Curtis, lately of John Curtis North and upon the land of John Craft and Robert Sever West, and upon the land of Isaac Curtis lately the land of William Hopkins and the hyway leding frome gamblins end, South."

John Craft died intestate, and his widow Mary was appointed Administratrix. The Inventory of his estate was taken 9 Oct. 1685 by Wm. Gary and John Mayo, Senior...
