General Notes: Husband - Silas Crispin

---

He was but nine years of age at the death of his father, and was probably taken by his mother to Burlington County, New Jersey, soon after the death of his father. He was one of the influential men of the town, and was a slave owner, besides having indentured servants, who carried on for him a tailoring business. One of his servants ran away from him in January, 1734-5, and the advertisement of Silas Crispin, of Burlington, for his capture appeared in the American Daily Mercury, of Philadelphia, for January 21, and 28, a fac-simile of which advertisement was produced in McMaster's (School) History of the United States. By his will dated August 2, 1749, probated November 17, 1749, Silas Crispin bequeathed his house and lot to his wife, Mary Crispin, for life, and after her decease, the brick part thereof to his son, Thomas Crispin, and the wooden part to his son, William Crispin. His negro girl, Dinah, he gave to his wife until the girl was twenty-four years of age, when she was to go to his daughter Sarah. His wife, Mary Crispin, and Thomas Wetherill were named as executors.
