The name Crowell was originally written CROWE, The surname of Samuel, who died in Boston in 1646, is written on the Suffolk Records CROWES. In 1669, in a grant of a house lot to Samuel of Yarmouth, his and Yelverton's surname is written Croell. For the last century the uniform orthography has been Crowell, though in conversation it is often pronounced Crow.^ It is an ancient name in Great Britain. In the Rolls preserved in the Tower of London of the year 1254 Gilbert Crowe, of Berkshire, is named. [6]
