Jonathan Crane (politician)

Johnathan Crane (1750 – August 1820) was a political figure in Nova Scotia. He represented King's County from 1785 to 1818 and the Township of Horton from 1818 to 1820 in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.

He was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, the son of Silas Crane, and moved to Horton (later Wolfville) with his family in 1761. In 1771, Crane married Rebecca Allison there. He was named a justice of the peace in 1783 and a judge in the inferior Court of Common Pleas for King's County in 1815. He also served as colonel in the local militia. Crane was elected to represent Cornwallis in 1820 but died at Grand-Pré before the first session.

His son William later served in the New Brunswick House of Assembly.
