Alexander Crockett was the son of David & Elizabeth Crockett and uncle of the Davy Crockett of Alamo fame. This was recently proved through the Crockett DNA Project.
Alexander married Elizabeth Watkins "on the banks of the French Broad", according to Elizabeth's pension rcord.This was probably Jefferson Co., TN since that was the home of Elizabeth's father, David Watkins.Their children were:
David, b 1794; Margaret, b 1796; William, b 1798; Alexander, b 1801; Robert E., b1802; James, b 1807; Benjamin, b 1809; John, b 1814; Mary Ann, b 1815; Joseph, b 1816 and two more girls born sometime between 1794 and 1816.
If I remember correctly the Alexander Crockett of Hancock Co., IN was born in Scotland and does not connect to the above Alexander who lived in Owen Co., IN,
If you would like more information on the family of Alexander of Owen Co. you may contact me direct.
