Joseph Crockett (III) and Sarah Long appeared in the census of 1810 at St. George's Parish, Accomack Co., Virginia, USA;
     The 1810 census page image on Ancestry is almost illegible (attached), but they have transcribed the information. The listing is alphabetical. A Joseph CROCKETT [Jr.] and a Thomas CROCKETT, along with an unidentified "Laddock CROCKETT. The problem is that the Joseph CROCKETT in this enumeration seems to be too young.
     1755 is a reasonable DOB for a son of Joseph CROCKETT #100534 (1722-1806), but the Joseph in this census enumeration is too young to be that Joseph. This could be Joseph #100900's son, Joseph #100915. However, I believe that the fact that there are reports of Joseph CROCKETT #100900 marrying a Sarah LONG, and then their having a son named Joseph, who marries a second Sarah LONG are pretty good indications that something is WRONG here.
     If they did indeed have a son Joseph (III ) #100915, this could well be him, but that doesn't resolve the question of him haveing both a mother and a wife named Sarah LONG. GA Vaut
