A genforum message references a John Crow b 1600/1606 England d 1686-01-16 Hartford CT, wife Elizabeth Goodwin, daughter Hester married Capt Giles Hamilin. John's father: John b. 16 Aug 1561 in Highinegar, Essex,England married Olive BIRD b. 1564 in Sisten, Essex, England died 1604-11-27. His father: John b. 1535 married GOODWIFE b 1539. John Crow came to America in 1634, so if he is Christopher's father Christopher was born in England.
