I too am a des. of the Crain family. My line follows Joel to his daughter Mildred who married Jesse Burditt, -- their daughter Martha Elizabeth m. Andrew Davidson -- my great grandmother is Martha Davidson Beam (d. of Martha Elizabeth and Andrew). I have been doing extensive research for the past eight years and have compiled extensive files also. I would be most interested in purchesing the book. I believe that my friend, Michael Mason, in Denver (also a Crain des.) mentioned that someone was writing a book last year. It would seem if a book was written and published, that the author would want to share the information and sell copies, so here I am -- a willing buyer but need price, where to send check, etc. Thanks much. I would be glad to share any information I have regarding the Crain family with you.
