According to Whitelaw, in 1758 when Patience Crippen sold 87 acres of land to Ralph Justice, she stated that it had been sold to Justice by her husband, and Whitelaw assumed that to be Robert Crippen. However, Leah Crippen settled Robert's estate in 1757, so Patience must have been the widow of Robert's brother John Crippen, as Whitelaw says the land was undoubtedly the John Crippen part, and noted that he could not find out how Robert had come by the land..5 |
