Thank you, Becky!! -----Original Message----- From: Miller's Choice <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, Jun 25, 2010 4:35 am Subject: Re: [LDR] Winder-Venables-Crockett I don't have a proof document that Richard Crockett married Elizabeth Venables ut I think that is the case. The speculation probably arose since a son was amed Winder Crockett. When we don't have a ready record of a wife's surname, ost of us jump at the surname used as a child's given name, thinking that must e the wife's surname. In this case, it was the wife's mother's surname. The Winder family was very small and (to my knowledge) the only other Elizabeth inder was the daughter of Capt. John Winder son of Lt. Col. John d. 1698. That lizabeth Winder married Christopher Dashiell and Walter Jacobs. The only thing I could find connecting Crockett to Venables was Benjamin enables and Robert Crockett were named as next of kin on the inventory of John rockett on 15 July 1749 (40:414). Benjamin Venables was the son of Joseph and lizabeth Winder Venables and thus Elizabeth Venables' brother. Robert Crockett as the brother of the dec'd John, both being uncles of Richard Crockett d. 765. y research on these families was conducted well over a decade ago and there ight be something that has come to light since that time. I haven't looked. he above next of kin relationships were discernable; I have some nok in my own ines which I have never deciphered. he two which come immediately to mind, since I've toyed with them for a quarter entury, are: ow is Mary Waggaman nok to George Austin d. Worc. 1766? ow are John Henry and Margaret Wilson nok to Capt. John West d. Som. 1716? nd so it goes. We all just keep picking away at the clues, trying to identify ur kith and kin. ecky ary Waggaman was nee Woolford and the widow of Henry Waggaman; George's wife as Priscilla unknown. The greatest creditors were Levin and Mary Gale, so Mary asn't a creditor. Incidentally, George named a son Harris Austin, who was iven his paternal grandmother's surname. I see a relationship (but not at all hat I would call close) between [Rev] John Henry and Margaret Wilson but either to Capt. West who married Katherine Revell of Randall. ________________________________ rom: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> o: [email protected] ent: Wed, June 23, 2010 10:19:52 PM ubject: [LDR] Winder-Venables-Crockett am trying to connect John Winder (d1698) with Joseph Venables Crockett bc1765-1822). It's proven that John Winder's daughter, Elizabeth, married oseph Venables. My connection is that their daughter, Elizabeth Venables arried Richard Crockett (1708-1765). Their son, William (d1772) was the father f Joseph Venables Crockett. Joseph V. Crockett is named in Elizabeth rockett's will probated 1794 as executor and heir (grandson). There was some peculation that Richard Crockett (1708-1765) married 1st Elizabeth Winder and nd Elizabeth Venables. Has anyone researched this connection?
