Paul Crispin, son of Benjamin and Margaret (Owen) Crispin, born in Burlington county, New Jersey, USA, July 18. 1743, died in 1816. He married, September 27, 1764, Rebecca Hewlings, of a good old Burlington county family, probably a sister to Mary Hewlings, his brother Jonathan's wife. They took up their residence in Moorestown, in the same county, where Paul Crispin was the proprietor of a ferry; in connection therewith he kept a house of entertainment. He and his wife lived at Moorestown all their lives. Paul died intestate, and letters of administration were granted on his estate to his widow, Rebecca Crispin, in 1816.

Though both Paul and Rebecca were of Quaker parentage they do not seem to have held membership in the Society. The dates of birth of their children as hereafter given are from Paul Crispin's Bible now in the possession of his granddaughter, Frances Hubbs, of Frankford, Philadelphia.

Benjamin Crispin, son of Silas and Mary f Stockton-Shinn) Crispin, born September i, 1699, died December 6, 1753; he was born in Lower Dublin, Philadelphia county, but was taken to Burlington county, New Jersey, by his mother, after his father's death, and resided the greater part of his life in Northampton township, Burlington county, where he died. He married, August 21, 1722, at Springfield Meeting, Burlington county. New Jersey, Margaret, who died May A, 1753, daughter of Joshua and Martha (Shinn) Owen, of Burlington county.

As before stated Benjamin Crispin and Margaret Owen were married at Springfield Meeting: in this connection attention is called here to a rather ridiculous mistake that occurs in a book on The Crisf'in Family, published at Akron, Ohio, in igoi, by Rev. W. F. Crispin, so that Benjamin Crispin's descendants may not remain in error. The author of the book referred to states that Benjamin Crispin and Margaret Owen were married "in the old Quaker Meeting-House in Burlington, N. J.," of which he then gives a description at length, following with a full page picture of Burlington Meeting House; but exactly opposite this illustration he gives a fac-simile of their marriage certificate whereon is plainly to be seen the statement that the marriage took place in Springfield Meeting House. Benjamin Crispin died intestate and letters of administration on his estate were granted to his eldest son, Silas Crispin, January i, 1754, by Jonathan Belcher, Esq., Governor of the Province of New Jersey, Charles Read being Register. The births of the children of Benjamin and Margaret (Owen) Crispin are from a private family record in possession of their granddaughter. Ann Crispin Lippincott.
