High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! John Cranston (1625–1680) was a colonial physician, military leader, legislator, Deputy Governor and Governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations during the 17th century. Being sent to New England as a boy, he was put under the care of Jeremiah Clarke, who became an early President of the colony, and he eventually married Clarke's daughter, Mary. Elected a drummer in the militia of Portsmouth while a teenager, Cranston had several military positions of authority throughout his life, and during King Philip's War was the first member of the Rhode Island Militia to hold the rank of major (not, as some sources state, major-general), in charge of all of the colony's militia companies. He also became a physician and surgeon, being granted a license to practice by the General Assembly, and considered a great blessing to the colony.
