; Antoine De Sauss Perronette De /CROCKETAGNE/ Crockett Family of Tennessee by French and Armstrong.

By tradition he was one of the handsomest men in southern France. He drew the personal attention of the King, Louis, by his fine personal appearance and love of duty. The King was eager to retain him in his service and to place him second in command of the household guards. He was given this commission in 1664 when he was 21. It was there that he met, among many of the nobility, the beautiful Louise de Sais in 1669. He then resigned his commission as second in command of the King's household guards, in order to establish a home of his own. It was through the influence of the Maury family who he was working as a commercial agent in the wine and salt trade of Southern France that he was converted to the Protestant faith. It was ordered in 1672 that all heretices, Huguenots, leave the south of France within twenty days. Antoine, with his wife and infant son, Gabrriel, fled across the English Channel and remained in England for a short time but shortly fled to Ireland. To escape there French identity they changed their name to Crockett.² GKJ-8.

      ; Notes for Andrew Crockett:
Tennessee Cousins by Ray

Among the revolutionary soldiers who sleep beneath the solid of
Willaimson Co, is Andrew Crockett, who is buried in what is know as
the Crockett Cemetery. According to Mrs. Acklen's Tombsonte Records
the following inscription is at his and his wife's graves: In memory of
Andrew Crockett, died May 29, 1821, in the 76th year of his age. In
memmory of Mrs. Sally consort of Andrew Crockett, died June 28,
1821, in the 71st year of her age.

The will of Andrew Crockett was admitted to probate in Williamson Co.,
Tennessee, at the July term in 1821 shortly after his death and the demise
of his wife, who was Sarah Elliott. W.B. 1819-1830 p. 241. Other
inscriptions in the Crockett cemtery will be of interest. Samuel Crockett,
born Nov. 1, 1772; died January 31, 1827 Joanna Crockett, wife of
Samuel Crockett, born Nov. 15, 1792; died Sept. 17, 1812.

Andrew Crockett, born Nov.15, 1795; died Sept 12, 1858; born in
Wythe Co., Va Catherine Bell Crockett, born Feb.21, 1798 in Davidson
Co., Tennessee; died Feb.14, 1890. In memory of Andrew Crockett,
son of Samuel and Joanna Crockett, born in Wythe Co., Va. Nov 15,
1795; moved to Williamson Co., Tennessee, in 1799; died 1852. The
above Andrew Crockett was married to Catherine Bell on April 2, 1818.


The Andrew Crockett, Sr. of the above inscriptions, who married Sarah
Elliott, was the son of a Samuel Crockett and his wife Esther Thompson,
and it adds much interest to this sketch of Andrew Crockett, when it is
shown that his mother - Ester Thompson - was the siter of that certain
Robert Thompson who on a fateful day in May 1771 in company with
Rev. David Caldwell went to the headquarters of Govenor Tryon, before
the battle of the Alamance had started in a fruitless effort to prevent
further hostilities between the gathered forces on both sides of the bloody
struggle, then about to begin, with the sad results that, as he started to
leave with his reverend companion, was shot down in cold blood by the
Royal leader. This Robert Thompson, a brother of Esther Thompson and
the uncle of Andrew Crockett, thus became the first man whose blood
was spilled in defense of the American colonies.³ GKJ-7. James de Crocketagene was also known as James Crockett.¹

     Robert Watkins Crockett was born on 18 July 1678 at Kenmore Parish, Bantry Cork, Ireland.^1,2 He married Rachel Watkins in 1702 at Ireland.³

Robert Watkins Crockett died on 16 November 1746 at age 68.⁴

      ; From NOTABLE SOUTHERN FAMILIES - Volume V; The Crockett Family andConnecting lines. Compiled by Janie Preston Collup French and ZellaArmstrong-1928. CHAPTERII EMIGRANT I, SAMUEL CROCKETT A son of James Crockett (son of Antoine) and Martha Montgomery (dau.of Thomas Montgomery), of Ireland, born about 1690 or 1694. Heemigrated to America about 1715 at the age of twenty -one. Traditionsays he was on the same ship with the Rev. John Thompson (see sketchof his life elsewhere) and family and that he played with his littledaughter, Esther, then about five years old, and fell in love with hersweet, childish ways and told the father he was going to wait for hislittle daughter to 'grow up,' if he might. The Reverend John Thompsonlaughingly gave his consent, never dreaming the young man would wait. Whether this be true, or only a tradition, it makes a prettybackground and the descendants of Esther still cling to the tradition.Tradition further stated that his name was John or John William, butall court records havebeen searched for -a will of a John Crockett,who had a wife Esther, and who died at the time Esther's husband died,but none can be found. However, the Augusta County records contain a will of a SamuelCrockett, dated Dec. 11, 1749, and probated May 22, 1750, which speaksof 'wife Esther' and children known to be the children of this coupleand lands known to be theirs- all of which seems to break down the'tradition' and es-tablish the facts. Esther Thompson evidentlymarried Samuel Crockett, of the ship episode, since it is a known factthat her first husband was about twenty years older than she. He diedthe last of December,1749, or early in the year 1750 and was 'an oldman.' It is also a known fact that Esther was forty-three orforty-four years of age when he died and that in 1753 she married herneighbor, William Sayers, a young man about twenty years younger thanshe. Other proofs that her husband was named Samuel instead of John are:Her daughter Ann Agnes married John Mont-gomery, and in JohnMontgomery's will he appoints Robert, John and Samuel Crockett, 'sonsof Samuel Crockett,' as his executors. In Chalkley's Abstracts of Augusta County, we find in Vol. III, pp.235-237, a settlement of the estate of Col. James Patton in which Wm.Sayersis acting for the children 'of Samuel Crockett.' That was in1757 and, Esther having married William Sayers about 1753, it is onlynatural that he should be incharge of an account of his stepchildrenunder age. We hope that the descendants of Esther Thompson Crockett will notobject to burying the name 'John' for herhusband,andwillnow'carryon'thenewfoundnameof'Samuel.' I say new and yet it isnot with all the descendants. That tradition seemed largely confinedto the Crocketts of Wythe and Tazewell Counties. Other descendantsfrom different parts ofthe country have sent in their records as fromEsther and Samuel Crockett, a son of James and Martha Montgomery. Having thus disposed of the name we now go on. Esther Thompson wasborn about 1710 and married about 1732 or 1734. Her father was inMaryland and Pennsylvania during the early part of his ministry inAmerica and no doubt young Samuel also went to Pennsylvania as most ofthe Crockcrts, as well as other emigrants, seemed to have settledthere before going to Virginia. Their first child, Samuel Jr., was born in Prince Edward County, Va.,in 1735. After that they moved to what is now Wythe County, a d livedv5Lhere Mr. .1. Williamson McGavock now lives, between Max @@YE;s-'an-a'-@@the'-ville, Va. He bought this place from Col. James Patton and refers to sa-rn@@, inhis will. It joined that of the William Sayers estate and after shemarried William, she moved over to his place, which has been owned bysome of her descendants since that time. The present owner is Mr. J.Williamson McGavock. Miss Mary Sue 0glesby, another descendant, has the old Sayers Bible,owned by Esther after she married William Sayers.
