A plaque erected by Allan Warnecke as Carmel Town Historian, July 4, 1998 reads: "A family cemetery later affiliated with the Gilead Presbyterian Church, this is the gravesite of Captain John Crane. He served in the Revolutionary War in the 7th Dutchess County Regiment of the New York Militia under Colonel Henry Ludington. In 1795 he was elected the first Town Clerk of the Town of Carmel and his home and tavern were located one half mile to the west. Another Revolutionary War soldier who served with Captain Crane in the 7th Dutchess also buried here is Henry Baldwin."
