Robert Crosman was an apprentice off Joseph Kingsbury, housewright, of Dedham and married, May 25, 1652 his daughter Sarah who bore him twelve children. The time of his settlement in Taunton may be approximated by a town order dated May 15, 1655.

John Crosman, one of the first settlers, is better known to us through his son Robert and his numerous descendants, than by reason of any prominence of his own. Indeed, his name is not found in the lists of 1643, 1659, or 1675. There is no record of his wife. He probably came to this country a widower, bringing his son, Robert, of whom will appear a notice later, and died early. But his name will be held in fond remembrance as the progenitor of a family which has filled a large place in the history of Taunton and laid the present and future generations under great obligations to it for the foundations of growth and prosperity upon which they are permitted to build.

Found the following on John Crossman at http://www.genexchange.org/ under Historical Accounts

My data base has a few thousand New England Quakers. A prominent one in MY family is John Crossman who had several run-ins with the local constabulary in Dedham and then Taunton in the 1650s and later. (John's son Robert -with wife Sarah Kingsbury- was the ancestor of a substantial percentage of American Cros(s)man, Croasmans etc.) It was -apparently- these run-ins that motivated John Cros(s)man to depart for the more hospitable environs of Providence, R.I. Quaker Monthly Meeting records there indicate he lived a full 100 years. Robert remained in Taunton and played a prominent role in Taunton's early history. He had the name "Drummaker of New England" (1). Since Robert supplied many arms for King Phillip's (Narragansett) war of 1675-6, it is unlikely that Robert was himself a Quaker. Furthermore, one of his sons Thomas, fought and died in Phipps(?) expedition to Canada in 1690. (2) Many of Robert's descendents -including one of my current first cousins- have been Quakers. John, the father, gave and sold some/all of his property to the Rhode Island Quakers. There were also a number of New England Quakers who settled in Penn. etal.

(1)From Antiques: Apr 1933, article by Esther Stevens Fraser which quotes Hist of Taunton ... " ...'learned the trade of a carpenter, for which he had a taste, becoming a skilled mechanic. A writer on Indian Wars in the NEHGS calls him Drum maker of New England.

(2)Was a solder of Gallop's company in the Canada expedition 1690. From Herbert A (Nichols) Crosman,Phd handwritten notes "Letter on Can[adian] Exped[ition] 1690 by Dan Carpenter NEHGS V9/354 Sept lists Thomas Crossman as there"

In April 1889, R. G. Huling published an article in the "Narragansett Historical Register," on the Planters who came to Nova Scotia in 1760-1761. These early grantees were principally (but not entirely) from Rhode Island. Huling's article, which includes his analysis of why and how the emigration occurred, was more recently re-published, without being changed from the original:

Huling, R. G. 1984. The Rhode Island Emigration to Nova Scotia. Toronto: Canadiana House. ISBN 88812-215-2. 50 pages.

The following three lists for Falmouth, Newport, and Sackville [now in New Brunswick] are compiled and alphabetized from the Appendix to Huling's article, and include names of original grantees as well as names from later compilations. The full article contains additional information about some, but not all, of these people.
