• Notes

  Captain Thomas CRAM JR was born on 9 Nov 1696 in Hampton Falls, Rockingham Co, New Hampshire. He died in Aug 1751. Thomas was captain of the militia in Hampton Falls. He was a Masonian Proprietor of Ware, N.H. These Lords Proprietor, or Masonians, met at Porysmouth in 1749 to draw for lots in Ware. Thomas Cram's was lot #84, (Ranges 3 and 7). He was also one of the selectmen of Hampton Falls. According to www.ironheritage.org/trail_2.htm, There is a place on Ottawa Lake Road (13 mile post zero and treaty tree) where Captain Thomas Cram placed the first marker at the survey point establishing the Wisconsin-Michigan state boundary in 1840. "As part of the settlement of the 'Toledo War' between Michigan and Ohio, most of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan was granted to Michigan for the'Toledo Strip' which was granted to Ohio. He made a treaty for passage with Chief Ca-Sha-O-Sha and the band of Ojibwa (Chippewa) near a large tamarack tree at the headwaters of the Brule River." However, 1840 is the wrong time frame for our Captain Thomas Cram. If this is the correct date, perhaps it was his son that placed the marker?
