Ebenezer probably died at Barnstable where, according to the terms of the deed, his son Moses was to maintain him until the age of 101.

It is indicated in this will that son Roger was "beyond the seas." Date and place of birth are approximations. Roger had siblings chr at Wingrave. The parish registers of Wingrave are lost for this period, and several years are missing from the BTs. Roger was probably baptized in 1614, one of the years for which no BT has survived.

Notes:

BIRTH: Although no documentary evidence has been found that John is the son of John Crowe, Sr, it can hardly be doubted. No other Crowe/Crowell family lived in the area old enough to have had a son born in 1633. John, Sr, and John, Jr, both resided in Yarmouth, Mass. John, Jr, was not on the list of males at Yarmouth able to bear arms in 1643, so he must have been born after 1627 (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 8:194 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). After the death of his father, he is called "Sr" to distinguish him from his nephew, the son of Yelverton, who was born abt 1640 (age at death). Hence, the birth year of John can be narrowed to 1627-40. John Crowe, Sr, had children born as early as 1617 and as late as 1637. For evidence that the family came from Co. Norfolk, Eng, see John G. Hunt, "Origin of Crowell and Crowe Families," TAG, 35(1958):173 (FHL #973 D25aga).
MAR: The estate recs of John Crowe, below, identify a wife Mehitable. She is identified as a sister of John Miller of Yarmouth and other known children of Rev. John Miller in the will of widow Susannah White of Charlestown, 25 May 1681, proved 29 Mar 1687, Suffolk Co. Probate, #1537, (o.s.) 11:66-68 (FHL #584130).
DEATH: Death date is from Frederick Freemen, HISTORY OF CAPE COD, 2 vols. (Boston, 1858-62; repr, Yarmouth Port, MA, 1965), 2:199 (FHL #974.492 H2ff). Also see the settlement of estate of John Crowe of Yarmouth, 6 Mar 1688/9, inv 14 Feb 1688/9, Barnstable Co. Probate, 1:26 (FHL #904598).

Notes:

BIRTH: VITAL RECORDS OF ROXBURY, 2 vols. (Salem, MA, 1925-26), 1:245 (FHL #974.46/R2 V2r).

BIRTH: No birth rec found. Nathaniel is identified in the settlement of estate of his father Richard Warren of Plymouth, 11 Jun 1653, Plymouth Colony Deeds, 2:1:73-74 (FHL #567789). His birth year is calculated from age 37 on deposition in land dispute, 15 Oct 1661, Plymouth Colony Deeds, 2:2:56 (FHL #567789). As Richard Warren was a passenger on the "Mayflower" in 1620, there is little doubt that Nathaniel was born in Plymouth.
