      ; From Tangier Island History:
     In the summer of 1608 John Smith started out on an exploration trip of the Chesapeake Bay. He traveled from Cape Charles and went up the bay to the Potomac River and went up as far as present day Washington D. C. and back down to Jamestown. It was actually two trips for at one point he was very badly hurt by a stingray and had to return to Jamestown to be treated. It was during these two voyages, while looking for fresh water that he came across a group of islands in the middle of the bay. He named them the "Russell Isles," for a Doctor Russell who was then on board ship with him.
     This group is today what is known as Smiths, Tangier and Watts Islands. Tangier Island is about 6 miles below the Maryland-Virginia State line and at one point all the islands below the state line were known as the "Tangier Islands" in Virginia’s records. These, among others, included Shanks, Old Walnut Island, Piney Island, Queen’s Ridge, Horse Hummock, South Point, and Hog Neck. The latter three being attached to the lower part of Smith’s Island in Maryland. The "s" was probably lost sometime after 1880 when erosion took its toll on these islands and the inhabitants moved to Crisfield MD, Onancock Va or Tangier Island itself. At that time what we now know as Tangier Island consisted of six ridges or long narrow areas of land rising slightly above the marsh of which three are inhabited today. Main Ridge is today the center of town. The old church was in the same location as the present one on the northern end of this ridge and the land south of it was called "The Field." At one time it was planted with corn. Canton is the ridge just to the east of Main Ridge and is connected by a bridge. It was on this ridge the first settlement was made and for a while was more populated that Main Ridge. It is generally believed that the homes of the early fishermen were here while the other ridges were used for farming. West Ridge is about a mile long. In recent times a sea wall was erected and it has a small airport or airpark on it.
     Oyster Creek Ridge or what remains of this has long been abandoned. Joshua Thomas’ son, John ran the first store on the island here. Canaan or "The Up’ards" is about a mile and a half above the others and although at one time it was connected to Main Ridge by a roadway it became unreachable by land around 1923 and has not been inhabited since 1928. East Point Ridge was a very small ridge to the northeast of Canton. It was abandoned in approximately 1905, shortly after the houses on it burned.
     In 1670 Ambrose White received a patent for 400 acres called an Island in the Chesapeake Bay. the next year White assigned his patent to Charles and John West. In 1673 William Walton was granted 400 acres on the western island which was formerly patented by White. There is a similar entry in the patent book three years later but Scarburgh and West were the recipients instead of Walton and in 1678 a formal patent was issued to both of them. Charles Scarburgh left his interest to his wife Elizabeth in 1702 and John West’s interest went to his eldest son a year later. In 1713 two patents were granted to Elizabeth Scarburgh and Anthony West for Tangier Islands. One was for 900 acres which included the original 400 acres and 500 acres more found within its bounds. The other grant was for 170 acres of new land south of Tangier called "Sandy Beach Island" which was probably the hook shaped part that is now attached to the main of the island. This was the first time Tangier Islands was named in the records. Although Elizabeth Scarburgh left her interest to her daughters, some how the title went to her oldest son, Bennett. It then passed to Henry Scarburgh and then to a Charles Scarburgh. In 1762 Charles Scarburgh confirmed an undeeded sale of his half to Colonel Thomas Hall. The next year Hall sold this to William Andrews as 475 acres.
     Tradition states that Tangier was first settled by a John Crockett and his eight sons in 1686, who had come to the island to tend cattle, but nothing has been found to verify this. The first Crockett of record on Tangier was Joseph, the son of Sampson and the grandson of John Tyler of Smith’s Island MD. It was this Joseph who bought 475 acres of the Andrews land in 1778. It does not seem likely that Joseph tended cattle at all for he was left a inheritance by his grandfather John Tyler, was bound to his uncle Thomas Tyler to be a weaver and learn his numbers, lived on Smith’s Island MD with his uncle until about 1744, was made constable of "Tangier Islands" in 1763 and was given all of "South Point" by John Fish in his will of 4 April 1765. It was not likely that a man of some means would be tending cattle. By 1799 the West part of the patent had descended down to a John West who in this year left his interest to his son Anthony, who was to complete an unrecorded deed for 100 acres to Joseph’s son John and the remainder was to be sold. Joshua Thomas, who was raised on Smith’s Island, living with his cousin David Tyler there and had married Rachel Evans, the daughter of Richard, bought 75 acres of it.
     The 1800 census of Accomack County showed that there were 79 people on the "Tangier Islands," most of which were Crocketts or descendants of Crocketts. Farming was their chief occupation. By 1880 the population was 589 and by 1900 there were 1064 inhabitants. The population increased slowly between 1800 and 1850, and then rapidly until 1900.
     In 1805 an event happened that had a great impact on the life on Tangier, the Chesapeake Bay and Joshua Thomas in general. The number of Methodist follower had been growing since the close of the Revolutionary War and Joshua Thomas was hired to carry some people to a Methodist camp meeting on Pungoteague Creek. While there, he heard Lorenzo Dow, a very powerful preacher speak and he along with others were converted. On arriving home he arranged for a meeting to be called. And, so, the Methodist Church was established on Tangier. The small Methodist society, led by Thomas until he moved to Deal’s Island MD met in homes until 1835 when the first church was built. A list of members in 1825 includes: Henry Crockett and Sally Crockett, Priscilla Crockett, a widow, Zachariah and Polly Crockett, Daniel and Esther Dise, Rhoda Parks, Babel and Nancy Paul, George and Leah Pruitt, John and Elizabeth Thomas, and John and Anna Thomas. The church grew and prospered and in 1856 the first Sunday school was established by Henry Crockett and Kathryn Sturgis; children and adults attended."⁶ EDV-6.

Focus on Joseph Crockett

Sampson Crockett and Alsey Tyler of John Sr. had the following children:

Joseph Crockett was born in Somerset Co, MD on 19 May 1722 (Miller, Judicials 1733-1736, p. 86). The mother of Joseph was either Alsey [Else] Tyler or an unnamed daughter of John Tyler.

In John Tyler Sr.'s will on 30 March 1733 in Somerset Co, MD, Joseph was named as an heir. It was proved 22 March 1733/34 (Somerset Wills, EB9:158).

An abstract of his will reads:

To grandson Tyler Crockett my bed and furniture, to grandson Joseph Crockett, the next bed and furniture, to grandson Butler Tyler the next bed and furniture, to son Thomas Tyler the last bed and furniture. To grandsons Tyler and Joseph Crockett, also my son Thomas Tyler all the rest of my whole unmoveables to be equally divided between them." Witt: John Evins, Charles Davis and John Hurst [Husk].

A share of John Tyler Sr.'s estate went to Joseph on 29 March 1735 in Somerset Co, MD (Miller Descendants of John Tyler 3). The inventory of his estate was taken on 28 March 1734 by appraisers Joseph Gough and John Hurst; the creditors and nest of kin were James Griffith and Joseph Crockett. It was filed by executor Thomas Tyler on 15 May 1834. Thomas Tyler made payments to Arthur Parks for 2 days spent in proving the will and John Hurst and Joseph Gough for appraising the estate.

In August of 1734 Joseph along with his brother Tyler were bound to his uncle Thomas Tyler to learn the trade of of a weaver. (Batchelder 81). NOTE: Thomas Tyler owned land on both Smith's Island in Maryland and Tangier Islands in Virginia (the land attached to Smith's Island below the Boundary line between the two colonies.)

Joseph Crockett was listed in the household of his uncle Thomas Tyler in 1744 in Little Annamessex Hundred (Miller Tax Lists 1727, etc., 1744:4). The Tax List reads "Thomas Tyler, Joseph Crockett."

He married Sally Tyler circa 1744. It went unrecorded. Sally was born on Smith's Island MD in 1725 (Tombstones). Mark C. Lewis, in his files deposited at the Eastern Shore Public Library Acconack VA he states that Joseph Crockett married an unknown Tyler. Kirk Marriner records her name as Sally. (Marriner 13). Because of the birth year on the tombstone she is placed here as a daughter of John Tyler the younger. Sally was the daughter of John Tyler the younger and Mary his wife.

Sally died in 1802. She was buried on Canton Ridge, Tangier VA (Tombstones). The stone reads, "Crockett born 1725, died 1802 aged 77 years."

Focus on Joseph Crockett

Sampson Crockett and Alsey Tyler of John Sr. had the following children:

Joseph Crockett was born in Somerset Co, MD on 19 May 1722 (Miller, Judicials 1733-1736, p. 86). The mother of Joseph was either Alsey [Else] Tyler or an unnamed daughter of John Tyler.

In John Tyler Sr.'s will on 30 March 1733 in Somerset Co, MD, Joseph was named as an heir. It was proved 22 March 1733/34 (Somerset Wills, EB9:158).

An abstract of his will reads:

To my son Thomas Tyler all my whole plantation with all the land that belongs to it and marsh. To sons Adben Tyler, Richard Tyler John Tyler and daughter Else 12 pence each. To grandson Tyler Crockett my bed and furniture, to grandson Joseph Crockett, the next bed and furniture, to grandson Butler Tyler the next bed and furniture, to son Thomas Tyler the last bed and furniture. To grandsons Tyler and Joseph Crockett, also my son Thomas Tyler all the rest of my whole unmoveables to be equally divided between them." Witt: John Evins, Charles Davis and John Hurst [Husk].

A share of John Tyler Sr.'s estate went to Joseph on 29 March 1735 in Somerset Co, MD (Miller Descendants of John Tyler 3). The inventory of his estate was taken on 28 March 1734 by appraisers Joseph Gough and John Hurst; the creditors and nest of kin were James Griffith and Joseph Crockett. It was filed by executor Thomas Tyler on 15 May 1834. Thomas Tyler made payments to Arthur Parks for 2 days spent in proving the will and John Hurst and Joseph Gough for appraising the estate.

In August of 1734 Joseph along with his brother Tyler were bound to his uncle Thomas Tyler to learn the trade of of a weaver. (Batchelder 81). NOTE: Thomas Tyler owned land on both Smith's Island in Maryland and Tangier Islands in Virginia (the land attached to Smith's Island below the Boundary line between the two colonies.)

Joseph Crockett was listed in the household of his uncle Thomas Tyler in 1744 in Little Annamessex Hundred (Miller Tax Lists 1727, etc., 1744:4). The Tax List reads "Thomas Tyler, Joseph Crockett."

He married Sally Tyler circa 1744. It went unrecorded. Sally was born on Smith's Island MD in 1725 (Tombstones). Mark C. Lewis, in his files deposited at the Eastern Shore Public Library Acconack VA he states that Joseph Crockett married an unknown Tyler. Kirk Marriner records her name as Sally. (Marriner 13). Because of the birth year on the tombstone she is placed here as a daughter of John Tyler the younger. Sally was the daughter of John Tyler the younger and Mary his wife.

Sally died in 1802. She was buried on Canton Ridge, Tangier VA (Tombstones). The stone reads, "Crockett born 1725, died 1802 aged 77 years."

Circa 1745 Joseph and Sally had Molly Crockett. Circa 1747 Joseph and Sally had Thomas Crockett. Circa 1749 Joseph and Sally had Leah Crockett. Circa 1755 Joseph and Sally had Joseph Crockett.

Joseph and Sally's daughter Molly married Richard Evans circa 1760. He was the son of John Evans and Arrabella Turnall. Richard wrote his will on 3 April 1800. It was fully proved on 28 June 1824. (Accomack Wills 1824-1825 p. 20)
The Transcription of his will reads:

Joseph and Sally's daughter Leah married Stephen Hopkins in 1770. They evedentually moved to Onancock VA. On 12 July 1815 Stephen wrote his will. (Miles 274.)
