Excerpt from The Starkeys of New England and Allied Families: Compiled for Albert Crane, Esq. From Troy, one of the Sightliest of these hill towns in Cheshire County, Clarissa Lawrence Starkey, upon her marriage with Thomas Crane, was led down to the riverside city of New York for her first home making. With him, she aided in forming and perfecting their fine estate on Long Island Sound, converting Rock Acre into one of the beautiful places which lie in the quiet town Of Stamford, Connecticut. After many long years of fruitful life, during which she journeyed through the other states, upon the decease of her husband, Mrs. Crane, with her two surviving sons, caused to be planned and erected in her husband's native city of Quincy, Massachusetts, one of Richardson's artistic libraries, which is surrounded by a slope of richest greensward. As a misunderstanding was suggested in data herein recorded, we would add that since the year began on March 15, then, on March 25, until 1752, that made February the twelfth month, or the last of the year.
