NOTES on John CRAM
The first of the name in this country was John CRAM, who came from England, and in 1639 was among the early settlers at Exeter. A Combination being formed for the government of the settlers, his name appeared, spelt CRAME. In 1648 and '49, he was elected Townsman, or what wasafterwards called Selectman. When he came to Exeter, he signed his name by making his mark, but afterwards learned to write.
He left Exeter about 1650, and went to Hampton, that part now called Hampton Falls. He and his wife
Esther became members of the curnc in Hampton. He was a judicous, honest man. His death was
recorded on the town book of Hampton thus: "Died 5 of March, 1681, good old John CRAM, one just in
his generation." His wife died in 1677. His childrenwere Benjamin, Mary, Joseph, Lydia and Thomas.
We have no account ofthe children except Joseph, who was drowned in Exeter, June 24, 1648,and
Benjamin, who kep up the line of succession. (FULLONTON - 193)

but characterized by good citizenship.

This is the line I descend from.
I’ve always wanted to know more about my 11th Great Grandfather John CRAM (About 1540 – 28 May 1599). I hope this will cover all CRAM, CRAMME, CRAMBE and VonCRAM. I know there are other cousins out there that I haven’t met or been in contact with. I hope to meet them and hope that we can help each other discover other relatives. Always interested in getting new data on my family. Please contact me if you do have some. Thank you.
