Okay...more info...I went to the local newspaper archives and found accurate info....
here's the details....John M. Crockett was born September 16, 1845, in Montgomery County Missouri and died july 29, 1926.He was raised by his grandparents to the age of 13 in Pike county.he married Isabella Kizer Dec. 12, 1876 and moved to Howard County entering the restaurant business at Franklin.They had 3 children...Hugh died at age 7, Willard and Lizzie.He also had a grandson Norton "Dad" W. Crockett.
He came to Colorado July 29, 1908.The cemetery has the name as John W. Crockett.However I still think this John Crockett is the same one found in the Vicksburg NPS website.That John was also from Missouri.I'll keep looking even though things are pretty sketchy right now.I wonder what happened to his dad that he would be raised by his grandparents.

BTW... the local American Legion is going to purchase a military gravestone for his grave next year.
