See also John Crippen page 214 Tioga County 1897 History. Same age but born in different place. See N.Y. Genealogical & Biographical Records. Vol. 88, pg. 161. June 1957 from a letter by David reviewing what genealogy he knew about his family. Says he married Sophronia in the sixtieth year of his life. That being the case, she was fifty five and not likely to have three children after that.. David lists the last three daughters with his wife Elizabeth, not with Sophronia, which is certainly more likely. Based on that, I will move them. David is specific that he had eight sons and seven daughters with Elizabeth. Earlier reference attributing the last three daughters to Sophronia is obviously wrong. David migrated to Rutland Township with his first wife, Elizabeth WORDEN, in 1814. They settled adjacent to Elizabeth's sister, Annis WORDEN, and her husband Jesse SMITH. This is in the area where the Crippen Cemetery remains in its abandoned and uncared for state.
