I'm starting a public discussion, so we have a record of the sources and decisions made, based on the following Geni user input:

Email:

Relationships locked. He can't be the son of the baronet (as he must be if he is the son of Robert Crane and Susan Alington: the various genealogical sites which claim this insert an extra generation into the Crane pedigree).

Blomefield's History of Norfolk
https://books.google.mk/books?id=wdsvAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA270&...=...
claims he was the brother of the baronet, which makes sense.

I very much doubt whether the immigrant children to the USA are his, though, since his land in Norfolk seems to have been inherited by another branch of the Crane family.

----------

I have detached William Crane from the parents (see Revisions). We should consider attaching him to Robert Crane as a brother.

We next have to sort out what to do with the children attached to him, as it seems likely that the immigrants to America were not his children.

I don’t think Jasper was the son of William & Abigail. Did their profile names get changed?

In profile notes “His aunt was Margaret Crane who married Samuel Huntington ... “

Also:

Generation No. 1 1. RICHARD1 CRANE was born 1570 in Cheshire, England. (But with children born in Herts????

i. JOHN2 CRANE, b. Bef. Jan 25, 1594/95, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, England.
ii. MARJORIE CRANE, b. 1595, England; d. 1656, England.
iii. WILLIAM CRANE, b. Bef. Jun 04, 1598, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, England.
2. iv. JASPER CRANE, b. Bef. Jul 18, 1602, Welwyn, Hertfordshire, England; d. Oct 19, 1680, Newark, Essex Co., NJ.

He made his will on 13 Feb. 1643 and died in London, a very wealthy man, four days later. He was buried the day after his death at Chilton. He left no male heirs, but his four surviving daughters married a peer ... “

I’ve rebuilt the family of Richard Crane, of Welwyn

There are notes in that profile to try and make the Huntington / Ogden connection.

There’s a discussion attached to William Crane questioning him as parents of Jasper

The book “Memorials of the Cranes of Chilton” covers his children on Page 87:

https://books.google.com/books?id=9IU_AAAAYAAJ&vq=Ann%20godwyn&...

2 sons (unnamed) who died very young. I presume one of them was Giles. Daughters detailed.

Sir Robert was an only son.

https://books.google.com/books?id=9IU_AAAAYAAJ&vq=Ann%20godwyn&... Page 62 describes

Robert > only son Henry > only son Robert (the Bt.)

So I don’t believe this William Crane & Abigail Briant” belong to the “Cranes of Chilton”
