The Cracrofts were a prosperous and long-established local family, but Thomas Cracroft was less fortunate than some. His first wife died in childbirth, and their son lived only a few months. He remarried almost immediately, but his daughter by his second wife lived only a month. He himself died in 1675, at the age of 35.
