A brief description from Wikipedia:

Hawley Harvey Crippen...was an American homeopath, ear and eye specialist and medicine dispenser. He was hanged in Pentonville Prison for the murder of his wife Cora Henrietta Crippen, and was the first criminal to be captured with the aid of wireless telegraphy.

See a Crippen Ahnentafel here.  It includes Mary Richmond who married John Crippen.  Mary was #83 in the Joshua Bailey Richmond's Richmond Family book.

83.  Mary Richmond 4, (John 3, John 2, John 1) was born in Taunton, Massachusetts.

Mary and John were the parents of Ezra Crippen (1745-1813) who married Tabitha Crippen.

Ezra had a son, Bradley Crippen (1783-1855), who married Esther* Hard, daughter of Philo and Concurrence (Hawley) Hard.  They moved to Coldwater, Branch County, Michigan.  Son, Philo Crippen (1809-1890), also lived in Coldwater.
