History of Westchester County, New York — Passage 371 (part 2)
[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] He is the pres-ident of the association at present. Thaddeus Crane resides in a pleasant, old-style farm-house, roomy and substantial, with low, sloping roof and broad verandah, built very much like all the farm houses of a century ago; situated just west of the village, on the Peekskill road. The property was formerly owned by Nathan Brown, father of Lewis and Stephen Brown. After the death of Nathan Brown it was left to Stephen and was purchased by Mr. Crane. Thaddeus Crane is the eldest son of Ger-ard Crane and grandson of the Hon. Thaddeus Crane, who was a major and lieutenant-colonel in the Revo-lution, and Member of Assembly in 1777-79 and 1788-89. Colonel Crane is buried in North Salem, where Girard, the father of Thaddeus, was born, Jan-uary 3, 1791.
