Biography

Parents

Anderson and other scholars have not identified the parents of John Crow. Anderson simple says that in 1959 John G. Hunt speculated that the families might be from Norfolk. Nothing has been proven.^[1] He is being disconnected from Adam Crow and Susan Crow until scholarly sources can be attached.

Migration

John Crow (Crowell is also used) Migrated to Charleston, Massachusetts in 1634, and then moved to Yarmouth in Plymouth Colony^{[1][2][3][4] [5]}

In 1641, Mr. John Crowe of Yarmouth was appointed, with others, to "hear and determine all causes and controversies" for Yarmouth.^[6]

John and his son Yelverton are seen on a list of men able to bear arms after "hostile designs were apprehended from the Indians.^[7]

Marriage

John married a woman named Elishua about 1614 in England.^{[1][5][8][9][10][11]}

Their children included:

1. Yelverton Crowell^[1]
2. Elizabeth (Crow) Wardwell, who married Arthur Perry, Sr. of Boston (a member of the Ancient and Honourable Artillery Company), then Arthur Wardwell^[1][8]
3. Moses Crowellwas baptized in Charleston, Massachusetts on June 26, 1637, and died young^{[1][8][10][4][5][11]}

Notes

John CROWE & FAMILY embarked May 8, 1635 on the "Hopewell" under Master John Driver from Weymouth, Norfolk, England. "Family" most likely included Elizabeth and Yelverton, and perhaps Nasare.^[13]

John and Yelverton Crowe, alias Crowel, who both were in Yarmouth, Mass., about 1640, are said, in the Banks MMS, to have come from the vicinity of Carlton Rode, next Old and New Buckenham, South Norfolk.
The wife of John Crowe was burried at New Buckenham, Norfolk, 21st day, 3rd month, 1626 (parish register). The daughter of John Crowe was baptized there 21st day, 6 month, 1626 (ibid). She was named "Nasare" or something close to it; George Gilleland, Vicar at New Buckenham, could not fully decipher this name, he stated in a letter to the contributor dated 27 Feb. 1958. See Dr. Edward YELVERTON's wife's name "Nazareth"^[14][15]

He married Unknown abt 1614 in England (John's 1st wife). Unknown, died Bef. March 21, 1625/26 in New Buckenham, Co. Norfolk, England; Complications of childbirth. John's 2nd wife Elishua had arrived on the "Elizabeth Bonaventure" which left Yarmouth, Co. Norfolk, England the 1st week of May and arrived at Boston June 15, 1633; she was listed separately on the ship's passenger manifest but was traveling with the the well-to-do Thomas CHUBBOCK/CHUBBUCK of Hardingham, Co. Norfolk, his wife Alice, & their daughters Sarah & Rebecca. ^[16]Perhaps Elishua was the sister of Thomas CHUBBOCK or other relative of him or his wife; his wife Alice or Anne came from a very large family, but had no sister named Elishua. The home that Elishua purchased in Charlestown from Edward Jennings was also adjacent to the one where the Chubbuck Family lived. Could they have looked after and help support Elishua, until John CROWE arrived two years later with the surviving children of his 1st marriage?^[17]
