OF CONSHOHOSTON. PA.

. Mr. III. Downs Cranor of Consho-

for the express purpose OF looking
up the history Of the Cranor family
nj this county. Mr.. Cranor is 60
ing over this work out of pure pleas
ure and the satisfaction of having as
complete history Of the Cranor fam
lily as can be gotten. He would like
for some one to tell him why all these
people emigrated from North Caro-
lima to Indiana and farther west. He
thinks there must have been a cause
for it, and if there was he would
like to know it. There were three Cra-
nors came to this country and set
tied ia different parts Of it and wheth
er these three gentlement were broth
ers or what akin if any he does not
know. The names Of the men were
Charles Cranor, Joshua Cranor and
Emanuel Cranor. In looking up fami-
ly history Mr.. H. Downs Cranor finds
a similarity of names in the different
families, and it would look as if all
were related.
If any one in this city or county
is posted on these matters, the Palla-
dunn would be glad to publish what
they know from time to time. There
are great many Cranors in and
around Wayne county, and they have
a large connection.
Mr.. Cranor spent Sunday with the
Cranors in and about Williamsburg.
