In Kenn Stryker-Rodda's Revolutionary Census of New Jersey (1776), there is
a Moses Crane in Newark, Essex County, anda Moses Crane Senior
and a Moses Crane Jr in Hanover, Township, Morris County, NJ.
Moses Crane is listed in the 1798 ratables for Hanover as having no
improved nor unimproved land, only 3 pounds for a house and lot.
Two Moses Cranes served asprivates in the NJ State Troops and Militia.
p. 561.One was from Essex County and one was from Morris County.

War.William S. Stryker.
I am most familiar with the Morris County, Moses Cranes and I am fairly
certain that the Moses Crane who m. Joanna Miller is NOT from the
Morris County family.One Moses Crane of Morris County died 1791 and did not
have a son Moses.The children listed in his will are: Stephen, Josiah, Jonas, Rachel
who m. a Burnet, Phebe, Elizabeth, Amos, Daniel P. and Ezekiel. The other Moses
Crane died in 1804 without a will.
There are Moses Cranes in Essex county as well but none with a 1779 death date.
Moses d. 1753; Moses d. 1805. The Moses Crane who died in 1805 did not leave a will.
He is listed as from Springfield Township, Essex County. Inventory amounted to
37 pounds. Was sworn to by a John Crane.
