Crockett/Ellis and/or Crockett/Thompson

I'd like to thank J.D. Crockett for checking his hardcopy records for me regarding my query about possible Crockett/Ellis and Crockett/Thompson marriages.He was able to confirm that Jane Crockett (daughter of Samuel Crockett and Esther Thompson)married Joseph Thompson prior to her marriage to Henry Davis.They had a daughter Esther Thompson, who married James Ellis.Catherine Ellis was one of their daughters.
Now I want to try to clarify some dates.Can anyone on the list tell me when Jane Crockett married her other spouse, Henry Davis? The birthdate estimated for Esther Thompson in JD's source seems early (1765) since Esther didn't start having her eight children until 1800 (age 35) and her mother would have only been 14 when Esther was born.
Does anyone know who Joseph Thompson might be related to? His estimated birthdate was given as 1735. No death date or marriage date was given for him.I do not know which county they may have lived in, and I don't know if they had any other children.
Thanks for any help,
Melinda
