You were probably on the right road. The Crandall homestead is located on Pound Road. It is still occupied and owned by a direct Crandall descendant,Irving Crandall, but he usually has his end of the road blocked off so people cannot go down there. When we (that is members of the Crandall family Association) need to go to the cemetery we have to get hold of him so he will move the barrels from the road.
Irving and his wife Arlene apparently have some sort of agreement with the Narragansetts regarding the property and the Indians pay the taxes on it but I really do not know more than that.
If you want to go see the homestead the best way to go is probably to attend the next Crandall reunion as we usually go out to the cemetery there as part of our day. You would not be able to go inside the house but at least you will be able to say you were there!
