Descendants of David "Davy" Stern Crockett Generation No. 1 1. DAVID "DAVY" STERN8 CROCKETT (JOHN A.7, DAVID "THE ELDER"6, WILLIAM D5, JOSEPH LOUIS4 DE CROCKETAGNE, DE SAUSS ANTOINE3 DE CROCKETAGENE, GABRIEL GUSTAVE2 DE CROCKETAGNE, UNKNOWN1 DECROCKETAGNE) was born 17 Aug 1786 in Green County, Tennessee, and died 06 Mar 1836 in "The Alamo" San Antonio, Texas. He married (1) MARY "POLLY" FINLEY 12 Aug 1806 in Green County, Tennessee, daughter of WILLIAM FINLEY and JEAN FINLEY. She was born 1788 in Franklin County, Tennessee, and died 1814 in Franklin, TN, USA1. He married (2) ELIZABETH MARGARET PATTON1 22 May 1816 in Lawrene County, Tennessee, daughter of ROBERT PATTON and REBECCA CATHEY. She was born 22 May 1788 in Buncombe County, North Caroline, and died 31 Jan 1860 in Hood, TX, USA1. Notes for DAVID "DAVY" STERN CROCKETT: Manners And Customs Of These Border People When these people left their homes for new ones in the wilderness, they took with them the manners and customs of the people among whom they had lived, and upon their settling down in their adopted abode made such changes in these manners and customs as their new situation, surroundings and necessities required. It often happened that the new emigrant on selecting his proposed future home, found himself very far removed from any one he called neighbor. From whence he removed, he was occasionally honored with a visit of his friends and neighbors, who could come and go without hindrance or fear of molestation. In this wilderness country he must travel with his trusted rifle, even as against wild beast that filled the forest. Later on, after the country had began to settle up, new comers were joyfully received, and the young people on hearing of the approach of the new people coming to the neighborhood, would often go a day's journey in order to meet and welcome them. The young women would make this trip barefoot, with their dresses so short they reached but little below their knees. A wedding was always a time of high glee. Usually the groom and his friends rode horseback to the house of the bride's father, where there was generally plenty of applejack, and every body would take a drink, even the ministers of that day thought it nothing a miss for them to take a toddy. At the bride's house and ceremony performed, came the dinner, after which the fiddling and the dancing, the songs and plays among the young folks of "Old Sister Phoebe," would begin: "I'll put this hat on your head to keep your head warm, I'll give you a sweet kiss, 'twill do you no harm." The neighbors soon gathered, chopped logs and erected a house for the young couple. At a log rolling and house raising there was generally a quilting, and at night a dance. It was no easy matter for the young people, who wished to get married to procure the license, for as a rule they lived a long distance from the clerk's office. For many years after the formation of Giles County, it was the habit of Captain John McClaughtery, who was both deputy clerk and deputy sheriff of that county, to go once, and occasionally twice a year down on to the waters of the Coal and Guyandotte, either to collect taxes or to serve process, and he made it a rule to fill his pocket with blank licenses, in order to accommodate the young people, who had always to put off their weddings until the Captain put in his appearance, and when he did, it was soon noised abroad, and the young men about to be married hurried to the Captain to get the necessary papers. There were no schools in that day, and but few boys learned even to read or write. Afterwards, if a school teacher came into the neighborhood and was employed to teach school, he usually boarded around among the families; that is, after settlements had progressed far enough for him to do this. Each family was largely a little independent colony of itself. The father and sons worked with mattock, axe, hoe, and sickle. A loom in every house was a necessity, and almost every woman was a weaver, and wove the linsey-woolsey made from flax cultivated by her own hands, and from the wool of sheep--when they had any. The man tanned or dressed the buck skin, the woman was the tailor and shoemaker, made the deer skin sifters to be used instead of bolting cloths. For the table ware generally wooden trenchers, platters, noggins, and bowls. The cradle of pealed hickory bark or a sugar trough, and plowshares were made of wood, chaff beds if the man had been fortunate enough to raise any small grain, otherwise leaves were substituted. Then there was the hand mill, and the hominy block with a hole burned in the top as a mortar where the pestle was worked. Some times a gritting board was used, and later a pounding mill was invented which was operated by water instead of muscle. For sugar resort was had by tapping the sugar maple trees, and boiling down the water. Salt and iron could not be had in the backwoods, and each family gathered up its furs and peltries, and later ginseng, which were carried out on horses to some coast town, and exchanged for salt and iron. Some, among them Captain James Moore of Abb's Valley, raised considerable number of horses, which they drove to the markets east of the Alleghanies. It was no common thing at that time, for a man on the New River waters to drive a two year old steer to Fincastle and exchange the same for a bushel of salt, and bring it back on a pack horse. Their horses were usually unshod. Captain William T. Moore, of Abb's Valley, told of a horse that the Indians had taken from his Grandfather, James Moore, but which had been recovered, and which he had plowed, and which lived to the age of thirty five years, and never had a shoe on its foot. After the backwoodsman had gotten to raising hogs, for at the beginning he could not do so on account of the bears destroying them, he would drive his hogs to market, selling and exchanging them for needed articles at home. The life of these people was a long and dangerous struggle, they had to fell the forests, encounter the forest fires, deep snows and freshets. Swarms of deer flies and midges rendered life a torment in warm weather. Rattlesnakes and copperheads were plentiful, and constant sources of danger and death. For an antidote for the bite of a poisonous serpent bear's oil was freely applied, and some times salt, when they had it. Wolves and bears were inveterate foes of the live stock, and the panther occasionally attacked a man. In the early settlement of the country near the mouth of Wolf Creek in what is now Giles County, the dogs of Mr. Landon Duncan drove a panther up a tree. Mr. Duncan being from home, his wife took his rifle gun and shot and killed the animal; it measured nine feet in length. Every backwoodsman was a hunter, and the forest were filled with deer, turkeys and pigeons, and out of these and the bear, buffalo and elk he made not only his meat, but largely his living. The black and grey squirrels were very numerous, sometimes destroying fields of corn, and at times in immense companies would migrate, and cross mountains and rivers. A race of men unused to war and ever present dangers, would have been helpless before such foes as these wild beasts and Indians. People coming from the old world, no matter how thrifty and adventurous, could not hold their own on the frontier. They had to seek protection from the Indians by a bold living wall of American backwoodsmen. These border men were hunters, wood choppers, farmers and soldiers. They built and manned their own forts, did their own fighting in their own way under their own commanders, when they had such, but generally every man was his own commander. There were no regular troops along the frontier, and if the Indians came into the country, each border man had to defend himself, until, there was time to arouse the country and gather help to repel the foe. Every man from his childhood was accustomed to the use of the rifle, and even a boy at twelve years was regarded old enough to have a gun, and was soon taught how to use it. He at least could make a good fort soldier. The war was never ending, for even the times of so-called peace were broken by forays and murders. A man might grow from boyhood to middle age on the border, and yet never recall a single year in which some of his neighbors were not killed by the Indians. As the settlements continued to grow they each had their various officers, who in fact exercised but little authority, as they had no way of enforcing orders, and all services rendered were merely voluntary. When a group of families moved out into the wilderness, for protection they would build for themselves a block house or stockade, a square palisade of upright logs, and looped it with port holes, with a large gate that could be strongly barred in case of necessity. This fort or stockade was generally safe from any attack the savages might make upon it, unless they could take it by surprise. This backwoodsman was generally an American by birth and parentage, and of mixed race, but the dominant strain in their blood was that of the Scotch-Irish, so called. The Irish Presbyterians were themselves already a mixed people, though mainly from Scotch ancestors, who came originally from both lowlands and highlands, for among both were Scotch Saxons and Scotch Celts. From this Scotch-Irish stock, came David Crockett, (Note: David Crockett is said to have learned the hatter's trade at Christiansburg, Virginia) John Robertson, Andrew Lewis, Andrew Jackson, Samuel Houston, the Prestons, Cummings, Johnstons, Shelbys, Campbells, Grahams, Banes, Gillespies, Georges, McDonalds, McKensey and McComas'. No great number of them came to America prior to 1730, but by which time they came by multitudes; (Note: Roosevelt's "Winning of the West.") for the most part, in two streams; the larger to Philadelphia, the lesser to Charleston, South Carolina. Those from Philadelphia soon made their way southwest into the valley of Virginia and to the Piedmont region; while those from Charleston soon pushed their way up to the mountains and with those in Virginia became the advanced posts of civilization. They were wholly a different people in manners, customs and temperament from the people of the tidewater region, in which there was a large admixture of Germans from Pennsylvania, especially so in the Virginia Valley. Some of this German population came across the Alleghanies, and settled in part, in what is now Montgomery County, and in the eastern portion of what is now Giles County, among them the Kinsers, Bargers, Highbarges, Shufflebargers, Hornbargers, Phlegars, Sibolds, Surfaces, Snidows, Straleys, Boltons, Clyburns, Noslers, Decks, Millers, Honakers, Keisters, Croys, Worleys and Woolwines. There came also some of the Scotch-Iris people into the same territory, among them the McDonalds, Blacks, McKenseys, Johnstons, Christians, Prestons, Craigs, Triggs, McGavocks, Wileys, and Whitakers. (Note: The Wileys and Whittakers came from North Carolina.) Some Hugenots also came into the territory of what is now Giles County, among them the Pearis, Hares and DeCamps; and in the same territory came some Hollanders, among them the Lybrooks (Leibrock), Mosers, Walls, Decks and Douthats. Most of these people brought with them their Bibles, which was as a usual thing the guide of their lives, and although they at first had but few, if any ministers among them, yet as a rule they were religiously inclined, many of them coming from countries where they had been taught religious principles, but those coming direct from the old world did not comprehend what religious freedom and soul liberty meant in its fullest sense and its fullest extent, until they reached the wilderness country, where every man could worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. They had no church buildings, but gathered in the groves, "God's first temples" and in dwelling houses to have worship. Captain James Moore, and also Zechariah Munsey, grandfather of the distinguished William E. Munsey, were Christian men and had worship in their families. Munsey was an early Methodist Preacher. The first preachers that came into the wilderness country, and in fact all who came up to a period long after the close of the American Revolution, were Dissenters, who found perfect freedom in the wilderness from molestation, interruption or arrest. The nearest church of England man to this wilderness country for many long, long years, was located at Fincastle, but so far as known he never ventured across the Alleghanies. Among the first if not the very first, preachers of the Gospel that ever stood on or reached the banks of the New River were the two who accompanied Lewis' Sandy expedition in 1756 and whose names were Brown and Craig. (Note: They were Presbyterian ministers from the Valley.) The first minister to permanently locate in this wilderness section, was the distinguished and learned Presbyterian, Charles Cummings, who came to a place near the present town of Abingdon in 1772. Six years thereafter came Elder Tidence Lane, a Baptist Minister who is believed to have founded the Baptist church at St. Clair's bottom in 1777 or 1778, and who organized two churches on the Holstein waters, one on Buffalo ridge six miles east of Jonesboro, and Cherokee Baptist church four miles east of Jonesboro, both now in Tennessee. In 1773 came Squire Boone from the Yadkin in North Carolina, and whether he was regularly ordained Baptist Minister or not, he at least preached the Gospel. He spent the winter of 1773-4 in Castle's woods, now in Russell County. A little later came James Abbott, a Baptist Minister from Culpeper County, to the New River section. And in 1777 came John Alderson, a Baptist Minister from the Valley of Virginia and located on Greenbrier River, a little late came a Mr. Johnston, Baptist preacher who subsequently went to the Kanawha Valley, and then on to Kentucky. Later still came Josiah Osborn, Lewis Alderson and James Ellison, all Baptist Ministers who located in the Greenbrier section. The early Baptist preachers, in southwest Virginia, were Elders Jonathan Mulkey, Andrew Baker, Edward Kelley, Barnett Reynolds, John Bundridge, ----- Colley, Jesse Senter, and -----Edwards. In the year of 1788, came the Rev. Francis Asbury, the first Methodist Bishop of America. He reinvigorated the itinerant system, and sent missionaries into wide ranges of country to preach and found new societies. And it is said of him that in 1785 he laid the foundation for the first Methodist College in America, and organized many societies throughout the country. There were practically no church buildings in the wilderness in the days of Bishop Asbury and other early preachers; now the country is dotted over with numerous church buildings of nearly all religious denominations. Landon Duncan, born in Fauquier County, Virginia, removed from thence to Stokes County, North Carolina, and from there to what is now Giles County, about the close of the 18th century, became a Baptist preacher of the order of New Lights, but in 1818 changed his views, and united with the followers of those who adopted the doctrines taught afterwards by Alexander Campbell. Mr. Duncan was an earnest, faithful preacher during the greater part of his life, which ended about 1967. For many years of his young life he was a school teacher, having among his pupils the late General John B. Floyd, and others who became prominent in their day. Mr. Duncan was for many years, the Commissioner of the Revenue for Giles County. Except in portions of Greenbrier, Monroe, Montgomery and Tazewell, Presbyterianism had but little footing for many years. Methodism seemed to be well adapted to the soil, and took root quickly, sprang up and grew vigorously. Among some of the early preachers of that denomination was Rev. George Eaken, an Irishman, and most usually called "Father Eaken;" quaint and peculiar was his style. There was held in the days of Methodism in its early beginnings in this section, near the residence of the late Colonel John S. Carr, in what is now Mercer County, a campmeeting, which Father Eaken attended year by year. Of those who came to the meeting, as regularly as the meeting was held, were people of the country, known and designated as "Todds," and so designated on account of their foxey and frolicking disposition, that is they were drinkers, fighters, gamblers, horse racers and wits generally. These Todds always got happy at campmeeting, and usually professed to have gotten religion. Father Eaken was an observant man, and having seen these same people engaged in drinking and general carousal shortly after the close of the meeting, he prepared himself for them at the next and while the meeting was well under way the Todds in a good way shouting, he suddenly arose, and cried out in a loud voice, "Would that the good Lord would take a liking to these Todds just now, for if they ever get to heaven it will be from a campmeeting." The distinguished William G. Brownlow was once in the County of Tazewell and preached at Bluestone. Among the early Methodist Ministers who were highly esteemed in this section of the country were Thomas K. Catlett and Jacob Brillhart. The Methodist had class leaders and exhorters, among the latter was one Abraham Garretson, who lived on the East River and whose custom was to go on the Sabbath into the different neighborhoods in what is now Mercer County and exhort. Garretson had a neighbor by the name of Blankenship, who though not a Christian, yet a constant attendant at his Sunday Exhortations and who always took his position near the speaker and during the service frequently said "Amen! Amen!" DON'T FORGET " THE ALAMO " The Alamo," starring Billy Bob Thornton as Davy Crockett, has been talked up as a sophisticated movie that recognizes the Mexican view of what happened back in 1836, when members of a small Republic of Texas enclave died defending an old church building they saw (wrongly) as the only shield between Texan dreams of Manifest Destiny and the ruthless fortitude of Mexican Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana. A version of "The Alamo" that acknowledged patriotism on both sides would be thought-provoking - as would a version that showed the defense of slavery as a "value" the Alamo troops were defending. This isn't what Disney has given us, though. The movie does include a bit of debunking, as when Crockett admits his inexperience in warfare, describes his disgust at an Indian massacre he participated in, and reveals that he only wears his legendary coonskin cap because he liked the look of it when he saw a costumed actor impersonating him in a stage act. It also shows a couple of slaves in the Texan group, one of whom grumbles for three seconds about how absurd it would be for him to stick around when the fighting starts. Instead of respecting the Mexican perspective, though, the film portrays Santa Ana as a cheesy, take-no-prisoners tyrant who struts like a peacock, says the lives of his soldiers are worth as much as "chickens," and treats his china set more carefully than his combat plans. Whatever truth this may have is forfeited by the movie's trite, exaggerated tone. The bulk of the picture is taken up with stagy dialogue and fighting scenes, postcard-pretty sunset shots, and bits of old-time music - including a moment when Crockett somehow drowns out Mexican drummers by lustily playing his violin a quarter of a mile away. In short, it's dull, derivative, and as lifelike as a heap of historical figurines. Few will remember this "Alamo" for long. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fall Of The Alamo by Captain R. M. Potter Date of Event: 1836 Written in 1860, Subsequently Revised by Author Captain R.M. Potter lived near the Alamo at the time it fell, and was in a good position to learn many of the details of what happened there. He wrote the first draft of this narrative for the San Antonio Herald in 1860, and later revised it, after communications with Colonel Juan Seguin, USA, who was an officer of the Alamo garrison up to within six days of the assault. Due to great interest in the subject of the Alamo, this document was circulated extensively in pamphlet form. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fall of the Alamo and the massacre of its garrison, which in 1836 opened the campaign of Santa Ana in Texas, caused a profound sensation throughout the United States, and is still remembered with deep feeling by all who take an interest in the history of that section; yet the details of the final assault have never been fully and correctly narrated, and wild exaggerations have taken their place in popular legend. The reason will be obvious when it is remembered that not a single combatant of the last struggle from within the fort survived to tell the tale, while the official reports of the enemy were neither circumstantial nor reliable. When horror is intensified by mystery, the sure product is romance. A trustworthy account of the assault could be compiled only by comparing and combining the verbal narratives of such of the assailants as could be relied on for veracity, and adding to this such lights as might be gathered from military documents of that period, from credible local information, and from any source more to be trusted than rumor. As I was a resident at Matamoros when the event occurred, and for several months after the invading army retreated thither, and afterwards resided near the scene of action, I had opportunities for obtaining the kind of information referred to better perhaps than have been possessed by any person now living outside of Mexico. . . . Before beginning the narrative, however, I must describe the Alamo and its surroundings as they existed in the spring of 1836. San Antonio, then a town of about 7,000 inhabitants, had a Mexican population, a minority of which was well affected to the cause of Texas, while the rest were inclined to make the easiest terms they could with whichever side might be for the time being dominant. The San Antonio River, which, properly speaking, is a large rivulet, divided the town from the Alamo, the former on the west side and the latter on the east. The Alamo village, a small suburb of San Antonio, was south of the fort, or Mission, as it was originally called, which bore the same name. The latter was an old fabric, built during the first settlement of the vicinity by the Spaniards; and having been originally designed as a place of safety for the colonists and their property in case of Indian hostility, with room sufficient for that purpose, it had neither the strength, compactness, nor dominant points which ought to belong to a regular fortification. The front of the Alamo Chapel bears date of 1757, but the other works must have been built earlier. As the whole area contained between two and three acres, a thousand men would have barely sufficed to man its defenses; and before a regular siege train they would soon have crumbled. Yoakum, in his history of Texas, is not only astray in his details of the assault, but mistaken about the measurement of the place. Had the works covered no more ground than he represents, the result of the assault might have been different. Thus the works were mounted with fourteen guns, which agrees with Yoakum's account of their number, though Santa Ana in his report exaggerates it to twenty-one. The number, however, has little bearing on the merits of the final defense, with which cannon had very little to do. These guns were in the hands of men unskilled in their use, and owing to the construction of the works most of them had little width of range. Of the buildings above described, the chapel and the two barracks are probably still standing. They were repaired and newly roofed during the Mexican war for the use of the United States Quartermaster's department. In the winter of 1835-6 Colonel Neill, of Texas, was in command of San Antonio, with two companies of volunteers, among whom was a remnant of New Orleans Greys, who had taken an efficient part in the siege and capture of the town about a year before. At this time the Provisional Government of Texas, which, though in revolt, had not yet declared a final separation from Mexico, had broken into a conflicting duality. The Governor and Council repudiated each other, and each claimed the obedience which was generally not given to either. Invasion was impending, and there seemed to be little more than anarchy to meet it. During this state of affairs Lieutenant-Colonel Wm. B. Travis, who had commanded the scouting service of the late campaign, and had since been commissioned with the aforesaid rank as an officer of regular cavalry, was assigned by the Governor to relieve Colonel Neill of the command of his post. The volunteers, who cared little for either of the two governments, wished to choose their own leader, and were willing to accept Travis only as second in command. They were, therefore, clamorous that Neill should issue an order for the election of a Colonel. To get over the matter without interfering with Travis' right, he prepared an order for the election of a Lieutenant-Colonel, and was about to depart, when his men, finding out what he had done, mobbed him, and threatened his life unless he should comply with their wishes. He felt constrained to yield, and on the amended order James Bowie was unanimously elected a full Colonel. He had been for several years a resident of Texas, and had taken a prominent part in the late campaign against Cos. His election occurred early in February, 1836, about two weeks before the enemy came in sight; and Travis, who had just arrived or came soon after, found Bowie in command of the garrison, and claiming by virtue of the aforesaid election the right to command him and the reinforcement he brought. They both had their headquarters at the Alamo, where their men were quartered, and there must have been a tacit understanding on both sides that conflict of authority should as far as possible be avoided. This, however, could not have continued many days but for the common bond of approaching peril. Travis brought with him a company of regular recruits, enlisted for the half regiment of cavalry which the Provisional Government had intended to raise. J. N. Seguin, a native of San Antonio who had been commissioned as the senior Captain of Travis' corps, joined him at the Alamo and brought into the garrison the skeleton of his company, consisting of nine Mexican recruits, natives, some of the town aforesaid and others of the interior of Mexico. The aforesaid company and squad of enlisted men and the two companies of volunteers under Bowie formed the garrison of the Alamo, which then numbered from a hundred and fifty-six to a hundred and sixty. Of these the volunteers comprised considerably more than half, and over two-thirds of the whole were men who had but recently arrived in the country. Seguin and his nine recruits were all that represented the Mexican population of Texas. Of that nine, seven fell in the assault, the Captain and two of his men having been sent out on duty before that crisis. David Crocket, of Tennessee, who had a few years before represented a squatter constituency in Congress, where his oratory was distinguished for hard sense and rough grammar, had joined the garrison a few weeks before, as had also J. B. Bonham, Esq., of South Carolina, who had lately come to volunteer in the cause of Texas, and was considered one of the most chivalrous and estimable of its supporters. I pair them, a rough gem and a polished jewel, because their names are among the best known of those who fell; but I am not aware that either of them had any command. The main army of operation against Texas moved from Laredo upon San Antonio in four successive detachments. This was rendered necessary by the scarcity of pasture and water on certain portions of the route. The lower division, commanded by Brigadier-General Urrea, moved from Matamoros on Goliad by a route near the coast, and a short time after the fall of the Alamo achieved the capture and massacre of Fannius command. The advance from Laredo, consisting of the dragoon regiment of Dolores and three battalions of infantry, commanded by Santa Ana in person, arrived at San Antonio on the afternoon of February 22. No regular scouting service seems to have been kept up from the post of Bowie and Travis, owing probably to division and weakness of authority, for, though the enemy was expected, his immediate approach was not known to many of the inhabitants till the advance of his dragoons was seen descending the slope west of the San Pedro. A guard was kept in town with a sentinel on the top of the church, yet the surprise of the population was so nearly complete that one or more American residents engaged in trade fled to the Alamo, leaving their stores open. The garrison, however, received more timely notice, and the guard retired in good order to the fort. The confusion at the Alamo, which for the time being was great, did not impede a prompt show of resistance. In the evening, soon after the enemy entered the town, a shot from the 18-pounder of the fort was answered by a shell from the invaders; and this was followed by a parley, of which different accounts have been given. According to Santa Ana's official report, after the shell was thrown, a white flag was sent out by the garrison with an offer to evacuate the fort if allowed to retire unmolested and in arms, to which reply was made that no terms would be admitted short of an unconditional surrender. Seguin, however, gave me a more reliable version of the affair. More About DAVID "DAVY" STERN CROCKETT: Education: David Crockett was a congressman from the state of Tennessee from 1833-1835.

There were only three survivors: John, a negro slave of Colonel William B. Travis [He was the only man to survive the Alamo] and Susanna Dickinson along with her infant child. [She was the wife of Almeron Dickinson of Tennessee, one of the defenders of the Alamo]. Partly to reinforce his goal of terrorizing colonists in Texas, Santa Anna released these survivors to inform Texans of the fate of the defenders. About 1600 Mexican soldiers died during the taking of the Alamo. MAIDEN NAME WAS PATTON (HER FIRST HUSBAND WAS A COUSIN) Elizabeth married her first cousin, James Patton, son of Elijah. Theymove d to West Tennessee, probably Gibson Co. and were living there when Jamesbecam e involved in fighting in the Creek Indian War during which he served under General Andrew Jackson. He was wounded at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814, and as he lay dying he asked his friend and fellow Indian fighter,D avid Crockett, to take his personal effects back to his wife. David honoredhis friend's dying request and in the process of returning the personalbelong ings, met Elizabeth. A short time later, David's own wife Polly died. He then thought of the pretty widow Patton, and upon inquiry, he found that sheha d moved back to her father's home in Swannonoa. He followed her there.Altho ugh Elizabeth was pleased by David Crockett's attention, she was not "bowledo ver," and it took Crockett a considerable length of time to persuade Elizabetht o marry him. Some say they were married in Swannonoa. Others say theywent b ack to Tennessee, but either way, they were living in West Tennessee shortlya fter their marriage in 1815. Elizabeth did not find David to be a steady husband/farmer who stayedat h ome to till the land and care for his family and stock. Instead, it wasmostly left to Elizabeth to run the home and garden and raise their threechildre n as best she could while David made a precarious living as a hunter, andtakin g frequent long trips as a guide and trailblazer, helping other peopletrave l or locate places to settle. In the course of this activity David Crockett was a frequent visitor to Buncombe County. In 1826, he was elected to Congress from WestTennessee . At Robert Patton's home there was an oak tree called "The Target Tree." Here Patton and son-in-law Crockett would set up targets for shootingmatches . The tree stood until the 1950's when it was struck by lightning. In 1831 Elizabeth herself returned to Swannonoa for a visit. This iswhen her father, Robert, decided to return to West Tennessee with her. In 1834 Crockett was defeated for reelection to Congress, and soonafter t hat he and his nephew William Patton went to Texas to explore the area anddec ide upon a suitable place for relocating their families. While there, the men became involved with the Texan War with Mexico and were killed on March6 , 1836 in the Battle of the Alamo. Some time later Elizabeth and their three children, carried out the move to Texas on their own. Kin Report Of Elizabeth Margaret Patton Name: George Smith Patton III 1 Sex: M Title: Gen.
