Biography

First Generation

Noted Mayflower researcher Caleb Johnson located a marriage record at Stratford St. Mary, Suffolk, 9 May 1594 between Katherine Bates and John Crackstone. Given the fact the Leiden marriage record of her daughter Anne called the bride of nearby Colchester, Essex, it is assumed this is the marriage of the Mayflower passenger. There is currently no other record known for Katherine so it is unknown whether she was still living when her husband and son emigrated to New Plimouth aboard the Mayflower. Currently only two children are known for this couple: Ann and John (d. unm. shortly after the 1627 Cattle Division).

Second Generation

The Leiden records contain the marriage of Ann Crackstone of Colchester to Thomas Smith "of Bury" (poss. Bures St. Mary, Suffolk) on 22 Dec 1618. There are a number of Leiden baptisms for children of Thomas Smith, but to date it is unknown whether any of them were the children of THIS couple. Some sources
