Doris, thanks for the info. Don't know if it applies or not. I'll have to look into it. I didn't know that these Cralles were in Lunenburg County. One correction, I believe the quote below has skipped a generation. Sarah Montford Jones daughter of Peter Jones and Jane Stokes was the wife of Richard Kenner Cralle. However, knowledge that they were in Lunenburg County is potentially helpfull.
