1. He died about 1765 at the age of 70 in Maryland. The research on the Crail family has been difficult due to the lack of documentation tying James B. Crail, father of Sylvester, John, and Aaron, to a set of parents. Several on-line family trees have offered the Crail genealogy with assorted links to one or more of the brothers and adding a fourth brother, George. These trees have also contained incorrect links for Harry E. Crail [James, Aaron, James] and other inconsistencies. It would appear that there is indeed a familial link between Geoege and the three previously documented brothers. The Crails in Indianapolis during the early 20th century lived within a few blocks of each other. That being the case, the following lineage would appear to be correct. Census and other records link James Berry Crail, Sr. to these recorded ancestors. By association, Aaron, his brothers and parents are part of that lineage.
At least one report ["Descendants of John Creel": report e-mailed to author by Robert Crail, 12 January 2000] has begun with a John Creel as the immigrant ancestor of the Crail family. Creel was born about 1656 in England and married a woman named Anne before 1676. Anne died after May 1727. Creel emigrated before 1685 [whether to Scotland or the British Colonies is not stated] and died in May 1720 [will probated 18 May 1720] in Northumberland Co., Virginia.
John's son Thomas was born in Scotland in 1720, but came from Ireland. The Crail surname was credited with a Welsh origin, but could have been Scottish or Irish.
Confusion over Thomas' birthplace aside, there are too many inconsistencies for John Creel to have been the father of Thomas. There was a gap of 64 years between the births of the alledged father and son. Thomas was born in Great Britain the year John died in Virginia. John and Anne were married at least 44 years before Thomas was born. Even if Anne was, say, 15 when the couple married, she would have been at least 59 at the time of the child's birth. All of these point to a nearly impossible scenario. This information has since been dismiss by its submitter.
Thomas and Hannah [Kenner] Crail, both natives of Scotland probably arrived in the Colonies during the 1730s. It is possible that they arrived or settled in Virginia, but Maryland seems more likely. The couple had at least one son, Thomas, born about 1720 in Scotland.
St. Johns, Maryland was given as the residence of the Crails. That was most likely a township or parish in either Harford or Frederick Counties where the Crails resided.
