Stephen Crane foi um político americano de Elizabethtown que foi delegado ao Congresso Continental de 1774 a 1776 e assinou a Associação Continental. Ele também serviu no Congresso Provincial de Nova Jersey, na Assembleia Geral de Nova Jersey e no Conselho Legislativo de Nova Jersey. Stephen não compareceu ao próximo Congresso em Filadélfia pois precisava cuidar de divisões em seu próprio estado entre East Jersey e West Jersey. Ele se sentia profundamente sobre os impostos que a Grã-Bretanha havia imposto às Colônias e havia feito seu protesto em sua jornada para a Inglaterra com Matthias Hatfield.
