A double family living adjoining farms, they probably continued dwelling on the JOHN CROASDALE plantation until AgnessCROASDALE married Joseph WARNER and son Thomas Croasdale married in 1731. Then Thomas bought out his sister's dower and mother's widow-rights from his father John's estate, amounting to 203 acres " in land, ways, woods, watercourses, messuage,plantation, premises," etc. ( The property was sold later, 1733,for dept.)
