- NAME of CRANE: The identity of his [Thomas'] wife Phebe is unknown. Several publications call her daughter of Jasper Crane, a leading citizen of Branford, Conn., who removed to Newark, N.J. No evidence for this has been found in original records or in any of the books which make the claim. Other publications try to connect her with the Crane family of Wethersfield. It must be stated, however, that the present compiler has found no reason for supposing that she was a Crane at all, except that she has been called Crane in print, which is not a cogent reason for accepting the name unless the evidence for it is stated.

New Haven Co. Milford, Pr. Sec. So. #2.)]
NOTE: Donald L. Jacobus' conclusion as discussed above is probably valid. Howerer, so as to not lose the Phebe Crane infornation from the file, she will still be listed and connected in this file.
PROBATE: The will of Phebe Canfield, made 28 July 1690, named her daughters Mary, Hannah, Mehitabel, Sarah Platt, Phebe Smith, Elizabeth Baldwin, Abigail Staples; son Jeremiah Canfield; with legacies to Frandson Thomas Canfield and to Rebecca Canfield. Proved 12 Nov. 1690, and administration granted to her daughter Mary Canfield. [New Haven Probate Records, 2:25, 72, 303; New Haven County Court Records:1:183.
