Notes: John Maxwell Cron was born in Harbour Grace December 23, 1884 as the first child and son of James Maxwell Cron and Frances Ross. They had two sons and two daughters. Frances died in 1888 and James later married Emma Martin in 1896. Emma was the eldest daughter of Matthew and Jane Maria Martin. Matthew was the brother of my great grandfather Frederick Martin. Emma was a school teacher and by 1890 she was principal of the Church of England High School in Harbour Grace. James and Emma had two sons and four daughters. As mentioned in the will: Mary Stuart Cron b. October 1899 married Rupert Grimes. Alice I Cron b. 1902 married Thomas Scanlon McGrath. They had two sons, John James McGrath, who died 1991, and Brian Cron McGrath, who died 1996. Brian was at one time, president of Churchill Falls Corporation. I don't know if Lilian Maria Cron b. December 1900 married.
