I am looking for Crain/Cranes in Orange Co, Vermont. I am looking for the parents/siblings of Ezekiel Crain, b. abt 1798. Censuses show him as being born in Vermont. He settled in Steuben Co., Indiana in the mid-1830's, after having been in Canada.. History books in Steuben Co. record him as being from Orange Co., VT. I believe him to be the son of Abel Crane born in 1771 in Massachusetts, but am open to other possibilities. Are there other persons researching Crains in Vermont in the later 1700's or early 1800's?
