He registered for the draft in WWI as a resident of Liberty, MO with the middle initial A. He is in Fishing RiverTwp., Clay County, MO in the 1900, 1910 and 1930 Census. The family is enumerated in the 1900 census Sheet 9B on line 50: Crockett, John M born Aug 1849, Sallie (wife) born Sept 1861, Mary A (daughter) born Dec 1880, Roscoe (son) born Sept 1882, Inez (daughter) born Sept 1884, Estell (son) born Aug 1886 and Jewel (son) born Apr 1890. John M was born in Missouri, his father was born in Tennessee and his mother was born in Missouri. Sallie was born in Missouri as was her father, her mother was born in Kentucky. all of the children were born in Missouri. John and Sallie have been married 20 years. She gave birth to 5 children and all are living. They are farmers. In 1930, Estell is enumerated as Eslil. Sheet 7A still in Fishing River Twp., Clay Co., MO. Line 20: Crockett, Eslil A age 43 married at age 25, wife Ercell M age 40 married at age 22, daughter Sarah Louise age 15 but written over with 16. Could be a clue to her birthday! The census was taken on April 17th. Ercell was born in Missouri, her father was born in South Carolina and her mother in Missouri. They are still farmers. Clay County Missouri is on the North Edge of Jackson County (Kansas City, MO).
