    1. Re: Robinson Crocker of St Stephen NB
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wNC.2ACE/1078.2.1 Message Board Post: Dear Marcie Crocker, The information you provided on the Crockers of St Stephen is much appreciated. May I ask if you are originally from St Stephen or the Miramichi area. I believe that there were at one time three different Crocker families on the Miramichi. The first to arrive were the two Crocker brothers from St Stephen David and Rowlan Crocker around 1814 and they essentially settled and raised families in in the area of Derby such that it became known as Crocker settlement. Detailed accounts of the Crockers of Crocker Settlement can be found in the books Dictionary of Miramichi Biographies and Irish Lumberman Kings. The second family of Crockers to appear on the Miramichi was the family of John and Margaret Crocker who as per the 1851 census emmigrated from Scotland in 1835. Children of family #28 John & Margaret Crocker in the 1851 census for Newcastle include Andrew age 26, Mary age 20, Ellen age 18, David age 28 and William age 19. Strangely all members of this family disappear before the subsequent 1861 census. The third line of Crocker to arrive on the Miramichi was my wife Helen’s gg grandfather Andrew Crocker who came to the area from Nova Scotia shortly after 1851 and married Jane Morell daughter of Hugh Morell first postmaster of Newcastle. The death certificate for Andrew Crocker indicated that he was born in Pictou NS. I have been unable to determine if he was from the Crocker clan that inhabitated the Stewiacke area. Some time ago I came across the following information in the archives room at the Newcastle Public library which I believe was compiled by the Miramichi Historical Society and filed under General Information Volume #24. I tried to determine the source where the information came from but could not find anything at the library. It is obvious that the information was compiled after 1970 perhaps by a researcher, someone from the historical society or by a descendant of Andrew Ross Crocker. If this information is correct it would certainly add a bit of an Irish twist to the Crocker equation. CROCKER EMIGRATED Edward Crocker emigrated from County Limerick Ireland to America in 1747. Settled in New York. Thomas Crocker came to NS in 1784 and settled in Upper Stewiacke. John a son of Thomas Crocker married Margaret Dickie. Andrew Crocker, son of John and Margaret born at Pictou in 1813 came to the Miramichi , settled in Newcastle and married Jane Morell in 1854. Andrew’s brother David Crocker and his mother Margaret (Dickie) Crocker are recorded as living in Newcastle in the 1861 census. Children of Andrew and Jane (Morell) Crocker include: Robert born 1861, Died 1893 unmarried; William born 1862 went to Lincoln Maine; John born 1854 lived in Nelson; Richard went to western Canada; Andrew Ross born Nov 17,1871 died Feb 4,1970 married Annie Jane Russell daughter of George & Mary Hambrook Russell; Sarah born 1867 married George Mowry USA As both the St Stephen/ Derby Crockers and my wife’s Crocker ancestry had roots in the New England area I was wondering if there might be some connection between the two lines. I will try to compile the information I have gathered on the Derby Crockers and send it along your way. Much of it is hand written notes etc. I am told that there were a large number of Crockers who inhabitated the St Stephen area. Timothy b 1792 and married three times must have had a large family as the other two Crocker brothers David and Rowland remained in the Miramichi area. The early map of St Stephen in the Cgarlotte county web site shows a Crocker hill.

Surnames: Daggett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wNC.2ACE/775.2 Message Board Post: I, too, am looking for information that is very similar to what you are looking for. Thomas Daggett is supposed to be my son's g-g-g-grandfather. Which my father-in-law said he remembers meeting. I have the same info you do about being - born in New Brunswick 1843, - a farmer in Wesley, Me when he - joined Union Army Aug 17 1861, mustered in 22Sep61 - private Co. H, 9th Infantry for 3 yrs - promoted to corporal - reenlisted in Veterans Volunteers on 1Jan1864 - honorably discharged 13Jul1865 - physical description : 18, single, blue eyes, sandy blond hair, stood 5ft 11 1/2 in The above info was provided to me by Maine St Archives card index on Maine Civil War regiments. (I could supply you the email address if you would like) Family info has him marrying Rebecca Marie Daggett (not sister) 5 Dec1866. Thomas Daggett (Supposed to have been born in Robbinston, Me) resulted. L.H. Daggett supposedly died of wounds around 1870. There is a road marker for 9th Infantry at the junction where Rte 9 and 192 (ME) intersect, which has his name listed. I, too, have been perplexed by additional info I've seen on various web pages about this "other"L.H. Daggett born 8 years earlier, yet married R.M.D. also. Had planned on going to Calais Library this weekend and see what I could dig up out of old micro-fiche. I am so glad you posted! (My son is doing a report in school and so I've been assisting dredgeing things up...) If you have any other info, please send . I will keep you updated if you want. R/SCorey

Robinson Crocker, b. 3 Dec 1757, Falmouth, Mass., was a son of Timothy Crocker and Susanna Robinson. He was supposedly buried at the Kirk McColl Church in St. Stephen, NB on 18 Nov 1824. He married Jane Marple on 10 Nov 1791. She was born 13 Feb 1765, and was also buried at the Kirk McColl Church on 4 Jun 1817. The burial info.

William Parker Libby Robinson Crocker is listed in "The Loyalists of New Brunswick" by Esther Clark Wright written in 1955 as getting his first Loyalist grant in St. Andrews, Charlotte Co., NB, but nothing further is mentioned. Jane Marple is probably a daughter of Northrup Marple, also a Loyalist from New York. He served as a guide during the Revolution. He received his first grant in Charlotte Co., NB, and later resided in Kingston, Kings Co., NB. Robinson's father Timothy Crocker was b. 23 Aug 1728, Barnstable, Barnstable Co., Mass. He was the son of Deacon John Crocker and Mary Hinckley. He died 17 Oct 1800 in Falmouth, Mass. Susannah Robinson was b. Nov 1738, the daughter of Roland Robinson and his wife Thankful. She died 22 Jan 1809 in Falmouth, Mass. I'm related to Robinson Crocker through Rowland's son Rowland.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wNC.2ACE/1076 Message Board Post: I am writing on behalf of ­ Jeanette Smith - who is looking for her long-lost mother and sister. Her mother’s name is Helena Florence Smith, daughter of Mrs. F. K. Smith. Her sister’s name is Maureen Smith. Helena Florence Smith worked in the army canteen at Camp Aldershot during WWII. She met and fell in love with Romeo “Butch” Lauzon who was a Canadian soldier. Helena got pregnant and had Jeanette on Jan 30/46 in Surrey South-Western sub district of Guildford Rural West County, U.K. Last known address in 1946-47 for Helena, Maureen and Jeanette: 12 Wyke Ave., Ash, Surrey, U.K. On Aug 2/47, when Helena was 20 yrs old and her daughters were aged approx 3 years old (Maureen) and 18 months, (Jeanette), they sailed from Southampton on the S.S. Aquitania to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and then on to Cornwall, Ontario where Romeo lived. Here, due to circumstances that Jeanette knows nothing about, her mother left her with her birth father ­ Romeo Lauzon and his parents ­ Isidore and Clara. They stayed about 2 weeks and then Helena and Maureen went back to the UK and Jeanette never heard anything again. Her father’s family would not talk about it and now they can’t as they have passed on. Jeanette is quite anxious to find her mother and her sister. If you know of Helena or Maureen, then I really would appreciate hearing from you.My e-mail address is: g.vout@3web.net. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
