A Time Line for the Crockett Family of Maineapril coleman

See: The Crockett Family of Maine for this information in detail.

The Crockett family we descended from lived in Maine fromabout 1770 to about 1840. They lived in Kittery, Vinal Haven, and Fox Island.

They joined the LDS Church & came west with the Saints in the mid 1840’s.They were in Nauvoo in the early 1840’s and in Utah by 1850.

The name of Crockett is said by some authorities to have been of Norman origin, while others claim that it was derived from the residence of its first bearers at a place of that name in England. This cannot be definitely determined, but it is interesting to note that the name is found on the English records in the various forms of Cruket, Crukett, Crucket, Cruckett, Crockitt, Crockit, Crockat, Crockatt, Crocket, Crockette, and Crockett, and on the ancient French records in the forms of Crockaert, Crocquet, Croquet, and others, including some of those before mentioned.

It seems most probable that the family originated in Normandy, and that some of its branches went into England at extremely early dates, while others removed from France to the British Isles as late as the seventeenth century. It is also, of course, possible that some of the families of the name in America came directly from France, but this is not probable.

Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine

The first of the family to emigrate to America was probably Thomas Crockett, who is believed to have come from England to Maine as early as 1633 and possibly before. This emigrant settled first at what is now Salmon Falls and soon afterward removed to Kittery and thence to York. It is thought probable that most of the New England families bearing this name were descended from Thomas of Maine, but the records of his immediate family and descendants are not complete.

Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine, p5

CROCKETT, a South of England surname. Crockett “6 THOMAS, ±43 in 1654, was brot over to the Piseataqua as a young man by Capt. Neale and app. in the 1633 accts. He worked as cattleman for Capt. Wiggin and for Robert Mendum and Capt. Pendleton as brewer, and for William Palmer. By 1640 he was liv. on Kit. Point, when Mr. Tho. Gorges gr. him the next point north, called Crockett's Neck, in 1643. His w. Anne, who with son Ephraim adm. his est. in 1679, m. 2d Digory Jeffrey and was liv., age 84, in 1701. In 1648 he was the Braveboat Harbor ferryman and from 1652-1654 liv. east of Capt. Raynes in York, where he took O. A. 1652 and had a 40 a. gr. 10 Jan. 1653. Returning to Kit. he was const. in 1657 and had the Pisc. ferry in 1659.

THE CROCKETT FAMILIES IN MAINEThe first person bearing this surname to appear in New England was one Thomas

Crockett, who came over in a ship called the Pied Cow, as a servant of Capt. John Mason, the owner of the Piscataqua Plantation, in 1633. According to court dispositions he was born, probably in Scotland as early as l606. He received of Ambrose Giddons, Mason's agent, 23, where he had “e weeks diet” of John Pickering at a cost of 12 shillings. He received a gift of land from Thomas Georges in 1641. Signed submission of York in 1652. His grant of land was on the east side of Spruce Creek in Kittery, since called “Crockett's Neck.” He was constable in 1657. Thomas lived at Warehouse Point in Kittery and his lands there were designed at Crockett's Neck, Crockett's Cove, and Crockett's Creeks; the two latter names to the same locality at high and low water.

North of the Neck there was an inlet known as Crockett's Brack Cove. When he died, in 1679 his widow, Ann, administered on his estate, and was married before 1682 to Diggory Jeffreys of Kittery Point. She was living in 1712. His (Crockett's) lands at Crockett's Neck were divided among his sons and sons-in-law. Here, then, we find the Scotchman who became the common progenitor of all who bear his surname in New England, seated by the seaside in "Old Kittery,” and we may assume with plausibility that he subsisted by using the hoe and fishhook from 1633 to 1679, a period of 46 years and up to his age of 73 years.

Thomas Crockett had a family of eight children of whom record has been found, and, as these stand as the heads of numerous branches planted in Maine as founders of our townships, I mention them briefly.

Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine, p5

“Thomas Crockett has been mentioned several times. He was in the employ of Amrose Gibbins in 1633-4. A number of witnesses testified that George granted him a neck of land within Spruce Creek about 1641. He lived at Warehouse Point and had land extending to the north where there of Kittery Point. [sic] The grant made to him by George was "the necks of land that lyieth on the further side of the Cricke that runs behind Mr. Gunnison's home." (Ann, the wife of Thomas, was thought by Banks possible to have been a Gunnison ELR). “It lyeth against the field of Thomas Crockett within Spruce Cricke.” He lived at Kittery Point most of the time till later than 1658 and signed the submission to Mass. in York in 1652. In 1667 he had built a house upon Crockett's Neck and was living there. This Neck was divided among his sons and sons-in-laws." His widow Ann married Rice Thomas.” (This is an error; she married Diggery Jeffreys. E.L.R.)[Ann Rice married another Thomas Crockett.}

“Depositions indicate that Thomas Withers, Thomas Spencer and Thomas Crockett came in 1630-31.”

“With Gibbins at Newichawannock was … Thomas Crockett, who is sometimes miscalled "Crockwood." Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine, p5

Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine, p5“Thomas Crockett has been mentioned several times. He was in the

employ of Ambrose Gibbins in 1633-4.”From Stackpole’s “Old Kittery & her Families” quoted inScott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine, p6

[Find This Book; Stackpole’s “Old Kittery & her Families”]

“Thomas & Ann Crockett, 300 Yrs After,”Thomas Crockett “…coming to America with Captain Neal …as a servant. …to

establish a plantation under Mason’s Grant, …where Portsmough is …at Little Harbor at the mouth of the Piscataqua about 1631 & occupied a vacant house left by David Thompson, the first settles of New Hampshire, …just west of …Kittery.”

“…and Thomas Crockett, setting up the plantation …what is now Rollinsford, N H, …built a house which was called Newichawannock House, after the river on which it was built. Here Thomas Crockett or Crockerwood as he is called in the provincial record of N H, lived for several years. …no complaints from Thomas …but that it was not all ‘beer & skittles’ is strongly brought out by by his boss Ambrose Gibbons who preparing to quit in answer to a complaint from Mason as to the lack of returns from his plantation, replies ‘You complain of your returns; you take the course to have little. A Plantation must be furnished with cattle and good hire hands, and necessities for them, and not think the great looks of men and many words will be a means to raise a plantation. Those that have been here these three years--- some of them have neither money nor clothes, a great disparagement. …For myself, my wife & four men, we have but ½ a barrel of corn, beef & pork I have had not had, but one peese this three months; nor beer this four months, I nor the servants have neither clothes nor money.”

“…to Sanders Point, had Crockett with him for a time as a carpenter for Gibbons …provential papers of N H contain in the report …his years of labor under the name of Crockwood. He is credited with six pounds for his years work in beaver skins, and has deducted three pounds, 18s, 4d for provisions.”

“…he must have been about 20 when he came to America. …after he worked at Newichawannock House his movements are shrouded in darkness until 1641 he was granted a neck of land with in Spruce Creek by George which would indicate that he had won the confidence of the principal man of the province. This land was opposite Kittery Point on which Thomas Crockett at Warehouse Point had a house at one time, …from ’Old Kittery & her neighbors’: ‘Sailing up Spruce Creek one would soon pass a cove on the east side called in the early days, Crockett’s Cove or Creek according as it was viewed at low or high tide. North of this was Crockett’s Neck where Thomas Crockett died. This



neck was divided among his sons & sons-in-law. North of the neck was an inlet called in the old records sometimes Crockett’s Black Cove & sometimes Tucker’s Cove.’”

…Thomas, about ten years after his arrival, had acquired land… Just when he married Ann, whose last name is not known, but by Banks is inferred to have been either Gunderson or Lynn, is not known. The birth of the first born, Anne, is given as 1642.” There is a reference to the York City Proceedings in 1653, to Thomas Crockett.

“We next hear from Thomas Crockett being entrusted with the running of the Brave-boat Harbor Ferry, a position of responsibility; and then in 1651 he is given a grant of land in York (or Georgeana) as it was then called, ‘next to ye seaside between the land of Godfrey & Rayner.’ …between two of the most prominent residents… showing that Thomas Crockett had made his impress upon the people at that time.”

“With the accession of Cromwell in England… taking over of this province by Massachusetts and York signed the submission in 1652. … Thomas Crockett’s …name was second on the list and later when a list was made of those signing who would not state that they were pleased over same, Thomas Crockett’s name led all the rest. In York, Thomas Crockett’s home was along the seashore—the only one among four not having a mister before his name, At that time land was given only to those who had some claim to gentility and his being placed among them is evidence of how he had risen, socially and otherwise.

There has been no definite proof, but there seems to be reason for his father & brother not daring to associate with him. He seemed much more prosperous than they at the end of the conflict.”

Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine p322“…Portland (Old Yarmouth) …was devastated by Indians, then by the

British in the Revolution – then a big fire destroyed all probate records about 1866. …There are deeds but no probate records.” “Over on the Penobscot Bay Islands the British burned about every house of a Patriot,”

1776 Revolutionary War - While I don’t know what happened to our family during the war I do know something about the conditions of the area during the war. “…Vinal Haven, an Island off the coast of Maine in Penobscot Bay” “These men were frequent victims of the ‘shaving mills’ – boats manned by Tories who robbed the loyal settlers of their crops and animals, burned their houses and, after the British occupied Castine, forced many to leave their families and work



upon the enemy fortifications. Many men served during the expeditions to the Penobscot; but before the end of the war, the enemy had so plundered and burned that the families became refugees, not returning to the island until after the peace.”

Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine1837. Wilford Woodruff's first Mission to Fox Island. He felt impressed that he wanted to

take a mission to Fox Island, off the coast of Maine, all though he was not at all familiar with the locality nor the conditions there.

"The town of Vinal Haven includes both North and South Fox Islands, in latitude 440 North Longitude, 690 10' West. The population numbered, at the time of my visit, about eighteen hundred. The inhabitants were intelligent and industrious, and hospitable to strangers. They got most of their living and wealth by fishing. The town fitted out over one hundred licensed sailing vessels, beside small crafts.

"North Fox Island is nine miles long by two miles in width, and had a population of eight hundred. They had a Post Office, one store, a Baptist Church and a meeting house, four schoolhouses, and a tide grist mill. The land is rather poor, yet there are some good farms. The products are wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, and grass. The principal timber consists of fir, spruce, hemlock, and birch. Raspberries and gooseberries grow in great abundance, and some upland cranberries are raised. The principle stock are sheep.

"South Fox Island comes as near being without form as any spot on earth I ever saw. Difficult to describe. It is about ten miles in length by five in width, and is a mass of rocks, formed into shelf hills, and valleys, and cut up into necks and points to make rooms for the coves and harbors that run into the island. The population one thousand. The inhabitants get their living entirely by fishing. There is no chance for farming upon the island. There are a few garden patches which are cultivated by great expense. Some few sheep are raised there. Many of the inhabitants fish in the vicinity of Newfoundland, and bring their fish home where they cure them on flakes and prepare them for market. They supply the market with great quantities of cod, mackerel and boxed herring. Upon this island there are two stores, three tide mills, six schoolhouses, and a small brace of the Methodist Church presided over by a priest

Wilford Woodruff attended a Baptist meeting the next day after arriving in Vinal Haven. Newton said for us to come to the pulpit, so we walked through the congregation with our valises and took a seat by the side of the minister, who was about to speak as we came to the door. He arose and delivered his discourse to the people, when he closed he asked me what my wish was. I told him we wished to speak to the people at any hour that would suit his convenience; so he gave



notice that there were two strangers present who would speak to the people at 5 o'clock that evening.

"We were quite a source of wonderment to the people as they had no idea who we were. Mr. Newton asked us home to dinner with him, and we gladly accepted the invitation. Mr. Newton and his family attended about twelve meetings we held in one of the school houses.

"During the first thirteen days of our sojourn upon the island, we preached seventeen discourses, being invited by the people to tarry with them.

"Mr. Newton made up his mind, contrary to the dictation of the spirit of God to him, to reject the testimony and came out against me. However, we commenced baptizing his flock. The first two we baptized were a sea captain, by the name of Justin Eames, and his wife. Brother Jonathan H. Hale went down into the sea on the 3rd of September, and baptized them; these were the first baptisms performed by proper authority upon any of the islands of the sea (to my knowledge) in this dispensation. On the following Sabath I baptized Justin Eames’ brother Ebenezer Eames, another sea captain, and a young lady.

Latter-Day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia“David and his family left their loved ones and their home and traveled

to Ohio to join the church members there, but they were already leaving and coming to Nauvoo; so they came on to Nauvoo, Ill. Two of the children, Debra Athenia and Barbara Young were born in Nauvoo. The family was there two years.”

“They left with the great exodus in 1846. They were in Iowa when their next child was born. They made their living by farming on shares, until the spring of 1849.”

Scott, Donna H, The Crockett Family of Maine, page 14c Note: Our Crockett family left Maine between 1841 & 1844. Persecution was rather fierce in

Maine. Relatives & friends who didn’t join the church made it quite miserable for them. A plan of the old cemetery at Vinalhaven shows several of the family members who did join the church were buried at an angle as a final insult to them for being Mormons. This was done so that the deceased could not rise up and face the risen Lord on the day of resurrection.

“As soon as the Saints arrived in the Salt Lake Valley they revived the "Nauvoo Legion" as the Salt Lake Militia. It was known by both names throughout the entire Territory of Utah. Among the members of the Legion there was called a special group, known as the minutemen, who were to be ready at any moment to



render service in protection of the settlement. They were called out, often, to prevent Indian raids and to capture criminals, or to otherwise protect the community. Alvin Crockett was a member of this group. Johnston's Army was a group sent out by the government to quell the still outraged people of Nauvoo that still were not satisfied to think they were unable to do away completely with the Mormons, whom they had slain, murdered, and burned out of that territory.”
