CRANSTON / CRANSTOUN; ENG>USA; C. 1642 Looking for correspondents who have and/or are searching for information on this surname. I am specifically interested in connections with the Rev. James Cransto(u)n who was the chaplain or confessor to Charles I of England. I posted a note on another BB and rec'd one reply, but am looking for other sources. In return, I can provide a limited amount of info on the line of descendency of one of his sons, John Cranston, who came to the (then) colony of Rhode Island c1642, and from whom I am descended. Please respond directly to me at jcran@worldnet.att.net and I will most assuredly reply. J. Cranston Quigley, Davenport, Iowa, USA
