John's parents are Peter and Penelope (White) Crapo.
The Crapo family is documented in the book called:
- Descendants of Peter Crapo and Penelope White, 1620-1875
He is the direct descendant of Mayflower Pilgrims William and his son Resolved White. The family has successfully proven the Willam and Resolved line via the GMDS application process from GS# 26,606 to our family number GS# 86,222 - certified on 12/30/14.
More great bio info contributed by FAG's Goose:
In 1734 he married Sarah Clark, the daughter of a neighbor. In 1739 his father Peter conveyed to him twenty acres "by the orchard of Joseph Ashley" near Peter's Sniptuit holdings. It was here perhaps that he lived. In 1743 his father deeded to him additional land. In 1744 he purchased a large tract in the "gore." The consideration was L150. He is described in this deed as a "husbandman".
In 1762 he and his brothers, Peter and Hezekiah, made a partition of the land which they received as residuary legatees under their father's will, and to John was given the land which the first Peter purchased of Ebenezer Lewis not far from the Pond. There are several other records of land transfers to and from him. He was living as late as 1779 when he conveyed most of his lands to his son John, junior, having doubtless given his other sons their shares by helping them establish the lumber business in Freetown. His son Peter, of whom more anon, was the father of Jesse Crapo.
