I don't see much on Eber Crandall (my connection to Elder John), and I stumbled across this information on the Shannock Purchase and so thought I'd share it. Two of the individuals named are Eber and Jeremiah Crandall. I assume that these are the two sons of Elder John Crandall by Hannah Gaylord.
This site has information on the purchase, as well as a map of the division of the land among the buyers.

The Shannock Purchase was the second largest land grant to the citizens of the Rhode Island colony during the division of the "vacant" Indian lands in 1709. The Narragansett and Niantic Indian Nations agreed to sell the "vacant lands" in exchange for permanent possession of land located in the present town of Charlestown. The Shannock Purchase encompassed a large part of the present town of Richmond.
