John Crandall died in 1676 and Hannah married, as her second husband, John Cottrell of Westerly.^[1] John came to own land in 1680 that belonged to Rev. John Crandall, and it is thought that it might be because his wife was a Crandall.^[3]

His first wife's name is not known. His second wife might be Hannah Gaylord Crandall. If this is so, it might explain how he came in possession of the Crandall land."
