**person requesting this,email included** --- History of the Colony of New Haven,Conn.,Vol.2; Edward Atwater, Meriden Conn,1902 ------- page 611-12: JASPER CRANE: a merchant from London,.who took a prominent part of the settlement of New Haven; signed the first agreement of the free planters in Mr.Newman's barn, July 1,1639. His house lot was on the public square adjoining that of Mr.Davenport, and his estate was estimated at £480. He was interested in every enterprise pertaining to the advancement and growth of the colony of New Haven, and he at once joined the company who settled at Totokett [Branford], although he may have retained his home in New Haven for some years. He represented Branford as deputy at the General court, 1653-7; from 1658-66 he served as magistrate, and was intimately associated with Govenor Leete; in 1664, he was appointed commissoner to administer the oath of alligence; one of the signers of the resolution to form a new colony at Newark; and at that time he was so highly esteemed that his name precedes that of the pastor, Mr.Pierson. He did not move at once to Newark, as he was residing in Branford in 1668, but on his arrival therer he was equally respected and was elected thier first magistrate. Jasper died at Newark, October 19,1681 and was probably the last survivor of the subscribers to the "Fundamental agreement".
