Christopher was first at Hartford, then after a few years (by 1668) removed to Windsor, CT; freeman in 1658. Christopher was at Windsor 1668 when he was allowed by the town to have Edward Bartlett "sojourn with him until he had taken off the crop he had sown"; had a farm at Greenfield, in Windsor; left Windsor and was residing (1683) at Hartford; his wife, also left about 1680, leaving behind her 3 young children in a suffering state; the Connecticut ordinance, 11 Dec 1680, that Samuel and Thos. Burr should take inventory of estate, pay debts, and take charge of the children, which had been done by 1684 - Hinman.

A genforum message references a John Crow b 1600/1606 England d 1686-01-16 Hartford CT, wife Elizabeth Goodwin, daughter Hester married Capt Giles Hamilin. John's father: John b. 16 Aug 1561 in Highinegar, Essex,England married Olive BIRD b. 1564 in Sisten, Essex, England died 1604-11-27. His father: John b. 1535 married GOODWIFE b 1539. John Crow came to America in 1634, so if he is Christopher's father Christopher was born in England. One source says Elizabeth Goodwin is his second wife, and not the mother of his children born in England.
