On the copy of the marriage license Paralee signed her name Lewis. Her maiden name is Elliott and she denotes that she is a widow. This interesting as this is the first evidence of her being previously married. It shows that they were married "at mouth yellow creek Montgomery County". The are asked their age and the age of the bridegroom is listed as "63 years Feb 27th, 1881" which would give our only reference to his true birth date. February 27, 1818. This helps to solidify his mother being Elizabeth Sullivant Crockett, first wife of James Crockett. The bride's age is listed as "38 years 10th of Apr., 1881". This would make Leftridge 25 years her senior. His occupation is listed as "Ferryman". All in all this document verify the only reference so far of their birthdays and marital status prior to this marriage. | Family: F156

Huldy's death would have been after 1857 because she died since her father's death which was in the year of 1856. But before Feb. 12, 1861 because her brother and sister state that she is dead now. Her last child (Thomas) which is in the document as unnamed was her last child and he was born 1857 (per the 1860 census). She is also listed in the 1860 census with her husband, Leftridge with her children. The 1860 census was taken on September 27, 1860, therefore she was still living in September of 1860 and this document was sworn in on February 12, 1861.
Huldy dies between September 27, 1860 (date of the 1860 Census) and February 12, 1861.

As children we knew our grandfather as Papa Crockett. He was quite tall even in his old age, towering over 6 feet. Quite a contrast to the petite wife that he chose in Madge Bridgette Wickham. He was looked upon as being a loving father but strict disciplinarian, understandably so, as he fathered six beautiful girls and only one son to help in the protection of family. He was blessed with children that adorned him and family that visited regularly up until his death. His fifth child, Martha Madge Crockett, devoted her life to his care and support as well as that of his beloved Madge. As a young father he had a quick wit and fun loving nature. He was married to Madge for over 50 years and died only three weeks prior to his lifelong mate. As in life, they shared everything, good and bad.
Per Aunt Bunny, (Martha Madge Crockett) my mother's sister, Papas mother and father died while Papa was a small child. He was 5 when his mother Malinda H. Carver Crockett died, and was 7 when his father William A. Crockett died. After the funeral a Mrs. Nolan Russell took Papa home from the Cemetery to live with her husband and their children. Papa also lived with his brother and his wife, J. William Crockett and Agnes Carver Crockett. Later on he went to live with Levy Bryant. This was during the time that he was working for the railroad. His parents are buried in unmarked graves within a Carver's Cemetery off of Highway 13. Aunt Bunny says you go to Oak Ridge Road till you get to Hwy. 13 and then you take a left and go down that road a good piece, and there is a large house and barn on the left and you go about a mile and the graveyard is up a field from that place.
Papa Crockett had a nickname for all of his children.
Audrey - UGG
Gatha - Bear
Virginia - Doodle
Neva - Neg
Martha Madge - Shoe Button, Dody, and finally BUNNY (everyone calls her by this to this day)
Jewell - Nunk ( Jewell used to say he was his mother"s little "Nunkey")
Joyce - Hootie
Per Aunt Bunny, Papa could not read or write because he was an orphan very early in live and did not have a great deal of formal education. (please see 1930 Census #17) He signed his papers with his mark which was witnessed and signed by an individual that could write.
He is also listed as being a farmer doing general farming and that he is currently employed. He is listed as not being a veteran and that both he and his wife speak English.
At the time of his death he was 81 years, 3 months, 6 days old.

Bible in possession of Mrs. John D. Sprouse, Sr. Springfield, Tennessee. Samuel Crocket Bible - Philadelphia: Printed for Mathew Carey, No. 118, Market Street October 17, 1802, Family Record - July 17th 1788
reads:
Samuel Crocket senior was born near Carlisle in the State of Pennsylvania December 4th 1759. Samuel Crockett departed this life April 21st 1841 about 9 o'clock in the morning.
The celebration book of the bicentennial titled, Home of the World's Finest, Robertson County, Tennessee, states that in 1788, Samuel Crockett, a Pennsylvanian, built a block house that became know as Crockett's Station. It protected colonist who lived along Carr's Creek to the west of present day Springfield. Some of the families who lived in or close to the fort were: Benjamin Nail, Joseph and Thomas Martin, Henry Frey, George Williams, George Murphy, Thomas Jamison, Julius Justice, James and Hardy Bryant and Thomas Holmes.
It also states that in 1795 the census found that there were enough people in the Territory South of the Oho to qualify for statehood. Thus, a Constitutional Convention was held in early 1796 in Knoxville to launch the new State, which would be called Tennessee. One of the first acts of the new state was to appropriate Tennessee County's name for its own use and to divide the county into Robertson and Montgomery counties. The enabling act, which created the new county, appointed commissioners and instructed them to establish the county government system and to raise money to build a courthouse and jail for Robertson County. The act reads: "John Donelson, William Johnson, John Young, James Norfleet and Samuel Crockett are appointed commissioners and authorized to lay off, and appoint a place, the most centrical and convenient in the county of Robertson, for the purpose of erecting a courthouse prison and stocks...which town shall be called and known by the name of Springfield."
The 1820 Census has Samuel Crocket listed as the head of household and the following numbers to the right of his name. 200101/11101/11
This would mean that there were in the Samuel Crocket household,
2 white males under 10
1 white male age 16-26
1 white male age 45 or above (I believe this is Samuel as his birth year is 1775)
1 white female under 10
1 white female age 10-16
1 white female age 16-26
1 white female age 45 or above (I believe this is Sarah - Samuel's wife as her birth year is 1775)
The last two numbers would indicate that there were two slaves in the household.

Here is a (fair) attempt to transcribe a deed found in Tennessee County (Montgomery County now) Deed Book A, 1787-1789, pages 45 & 46. I apologize for any misspellings as the deed is very hard to read.
Also, I believe I have located this property. However, I beg forgiveness if I am wrong as I am quite directionally challenged.
“lying and being in the County of Tennessee on the waters of the Cumberland River Beginning four hundred and eighty poles from where the Virginia line crosses the said River” I believe this property is in present day Stewart County, Tennessee. Four hundred and eighty poles from where the “Virginia” (now Kentucky) state line crosses the Cumberland River (Lake Barkley) which is present day “Land between the Lakes”. The waters they speak of would be present day “Crockett Bay” and the lands would be to the west of the bay.

Interview with Mrs. Lola BAGGETT Smith on 3/15/2006 via the telephone. She said that her mother Frances CROCKETT Baggett told her that her grandparent's names were William Crockett (called Bill Crockett) and Malinda CARVER Crockett.
I asked her if she had any family photos or maybe her mother's family bible. She said that her parent's house had burned before she was born and that all of the family photos and bible record was lost in the fire.
Also interviewed Martha Madge CROCKETT on 3/15/2006 and received a copy of her mother's family bible (Madge Bridget WICKHAM Crockett) which listed the father and mother of her husband Nolen Gus Crockett - His parents were William Crockett and Malinda CARVER Crockett. Aunt Bunny (Martha Madge CROCKETT) said that his father, Nolen Gus Crockett said that his father was named William Crockett
and his mother was Malinda CARVER Crockett.
Mrs. Lola BAGGETT Smith and Martha Madge CROCKETT are first cousins. Maggie Frances CROCKETT Baggett was the mother of Lola and Nolen Gus Crockett was the father of Martha Madge CROCKETT. Frances and Nolen Gus Crockett were brother and sister. | William A. Crockett

The Wilson Crockett named here would have been the son of Samuel of
Robertson Co, TN. In 1817, Wilson (born 17 July 1788), for War of 1812
service, received land on the waters of Marrowbone Creek in Davidson Co, TN.
He can be found there on the censuses of 1820 through 1850.

A. No,she didn't owe nbone by the doctor's bill, was all she owed,m just doctor's bill.

A. No. She owed the funeral and doctor's bills. I think it is $132.00, to the best I can remember, is what is against it.
Q. Did she leave a will?
A. No.
Q. Do you know how she got title to this property?
A. Well, I just can't answer that. I don't know. It was let by her husband, thorugh, I guess.
Q. Who are her heirs?
A. Well, her children are her heirs, aren't they?
Q. Yes.
A. Buford Jackson and Venie Evans and Winnie Reeves and Hadley Jackson, my husband.
Q. She had four children?
A. Yes.
Q. And those you named are her four children?
A. Yes.
Q. Buford Jackson is still living?
A. Yes.
Q. And Winnie Reeves is her daugther and she is still living?
A. Yes.
Q. And Venie Evans is her daughter and she is still living?
A. Yes.
Q. And her fourth child was Hadley Jackson, who was your husband?
A. Yes.
Q. When did he die?
A. He died about 5 years ago, something like that.
Q. How many children have you, Mrs. Jackson?
A. Four.

A. No.
Q. And what are the names of your children, and their ages?

Q. Yes.
A. He is 10. Earl Jackson, he is 8, and Omie here is just 6. (this would imply that Omie is in his mother's lap during the deposition)
Q. These four chidlren live with you?
A. Yes.
Q., Where are you living now?
A. I am workijng at Mr. Sam Broome's.
Q. In what district?
A. In the 19th district of this county?
Q. Do you believe this is about as good a time as another to sell this property that Mrs. Florence Jackson owned?
A. Yes. I think it is just as good a time just to let it go.
Q. Would it be practical to divide that property up among the heirs?
A. I don't think it would, because of the water, it is all at one end, and the buildings are all at one end, and I don't think they could divide it satisfactorialy. There ain't enough to divide among four, it is not big enough for that, and none ain't able to pay the debts.
Q. None of the children would be able to pay the debts, even if it oculd be divided?
A. No, that's the trouble, And
Q. And anyway, because of the way the property is situated in regard to the water and buildings, it wouldn't be practical to divide it?
A. No, I don't think it would.
Q. So you think the best thing to do is to go ahead and sell and pay the debts and what is left beyond that, to divide it out?
A. Yes.
Q. You understand that your children together will be entitled to one-fourth of what is left after payment of the debts and expenses?
A. Yes.
Q. And you know from conditions that won't be very much?
A. Yes, I know it can't be.
