     Jane Bonnell New Providence Presbyterian Records:

Baptisms, 1763:
"Bonnel, Jayne, a daughter of Nath^ll, June 5." Jane was born in April 1763. The Crane Tree gives birthdate as 22 Apr 1764, which is after her known baptism date. However, if the 1764 were a 1763, then that date would match the First Settlers date of Apr 1763..^2,3 She was baptized at New Providence Presbyterian, New Providence, Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 5 June 1763. Religion: Presbyterian.¹ She married Samuel Crane at Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 16 January 1782.^3,2 Jane died on 26 March 1848 at Fountain, Indiana, USA, at age 84.³

     Samuel Crane There is a puzzle here. Two entries in First Settlers appear to disagree (or perhaps there were two marriages, unremarked by Littell):

p 102: "Samuel [Crane], who married, 7th Nov. 1792, Abby Roberts."

p 48: "Jane [Bonnell], born April, 1763, married Samuel Crane, son of Joseph." [This entry points at the other, curiously.] Samuel was born at Passaic Valley, New Jersey, USA, on 25 December 1761.² He married Jane Bonnell at Essex, New Jersey, USA, on 16 January 1782.^2,3 He married Abby Roberts on 7 November 1792.⁴ Samuel died on 1 December 1821 at Preston, West Virginia, USA, at age 59.²

     She married Banjamin Coddington (Corrington) in April. Crane Tree gives 13 Apr 1782 to Benjamin Coddington.
First Settlers give 13 Nov 1782 to Benjamin Corrington..^1,2 Annar Crane I believe this comes from the Crane Tree:

Married Benjamin Coddington (10 November 1759 - 10 November 1834). "Benjamin was in the Rev War, in Capt. Ogden's Co., 1st NJ Regt; wounded at the battle of Trenton. About 1787 they moved with son William to Monongahela Co., MD, lived along Braddock Road in the Allegheny Mts. Their 16 children were born in MD." Alphretta Gunn Madison.
