    All doubt of the exchange of these names in the one family, at an early date, is dispelled by the CROWE Gen., which furnishes abundant proof.
    The first EDWARD CROWELL, was a First Settler of Woodbridge, arriving there with his wife, MARY LOTHROP, before 1688-9, where he died, since the birth of one of their children is indicated, "on the sea." He became a land owner, there, (vide, ante, PART ONE, p. 98; and PART TWO, p. 244).
    John Crowe was first at YARMOUTH, with descendants. YELVERTON CROWE, who himself used CROWELL, as well, was there contemporaneously, and obviously a brother, from indirect rather than direct evidence. (YARMOUTH, pp. 47 and 70.)
    The latter was the source of the New Jersey family, and not John Crowe. (Vide Waters MSS., post). (Miss Ethel C. Waters, 114 Merriman St., Rochester, N. Y.)
    This YELVERTON CROWELL had a son, EDWARD CROWELL, who m. Jan. 16, 1674, Mary LOTHROP, (vide, post, p. indic.), and by her had several children. (LOTHROP GIVES most of these, with omissions, p. 19, et seq.)
    His estate, 1688-9, March 1. Letters of Administration, "Edward Crow of Woodbridge deceased," issued to his widow, Mary, (ARCH., Vol. XXI, p. 166).
