Excerpt from Will of John Crerar: Dated August 5, 1886, Admitted to Probate November 14, 1889
My father, John Crerar, a native of Scotland, died in New York City when I was an infant, leaving my mother, my brother Peter, and myself, his only heirs.
My mother remained a widow for a number of years and was then married to William Boyd. The issue of this second marriage was one son, my half brother, George William Boyd, who died unmarried in 1860. My step father died in 1864, and my mother was again left a widow with her two sons, Peter and myself. My mother died March 28th, 187 3, and my brother Peter died in 1883, a widower, leaving no children.
