      ; 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."⁵

; From Mike Hitch Online - Joseph Crockett:
Born: 19 May 1722, Somerset Co., MD
Marriage (1): Sarah (Sally) Tyler about 1743 in Somerset Co., MD
Died: 18 Jul 1805-29 Apr 1806, Tangier Island, Accomack Co., VA

From "Crocketts of Tangier Island, Virginia"

"In the Chesapeake Bay on the Eastern Shore of the U.S., there is a little island by the name of Tangier. It is believed that Tangier Island in Virginia was settled by a John Crockett and his 8 sons in 1686 to raise cattle. This would have been 22 years before "Davy" Crockett's grandfather was born on the voyage to America and that there were already Crockett's in America before William's parents arrived. However, there is nothing to verify the belief that John Crockett and his sons first settled Tangier Island.

What is known is that the first Crockett of record on Tangier was Joseph Crockett. Joseph Crockett was the grandson of John Tyler of nearby Smith's Island. Joseph was bound to his uncle, Thomas Tyler to be a weaver and lived on Smith's Island until about 1744. In 1763 he was made constable of "Tangier Islands" and was given an area called "South Point" by John Fish in his will of April 4, 1765. In 1778 he used his inheritance from his grandfather John Tyler to buy another 475 acres of Tangier. In 1799 Joseph's son John acquired an additional 100 acres from Anthony West. The remaining land was to be sold. Today the island population is mainly Crockett and Pruitt families and their descendants."

Joseph Crockett first shows up in the Somerset Co., MD Tax Lists in 1739 as a dependent in his uncle Thomas Tyler Sr.'s household. This helps to establish his birth year at c1724.

Joseph Crockett was the executor of John Fish's will, written Apr 4 1765 and probated Apr 30 1766 in Accomack Co., VA. John Fish left all of "South Point", the whole patent belonging to me, to Joseph Crockett. He also gave Spencer Tyler all his part of "Hog Neck". He also named Lazarus Bacor, Jacob Tyler and David Tyler. Witnesses were Butler Tyler, Arthur Parks, and Sarah Tyler (AccW-1761/67:608)

Joseph married Sarah (Sally) Tyler, daughter of John Tyler and Mary (?), about 1743 in Somerset Co., MD. (Sarah (Sally) Tyler was born about 1725 in Somerset Co., MD and died in 1802 in Tangier Island, Accomack Co., VA.)
