Helen; As I told you on the genealogy .com broad reply, Minerva is not in Solomon or his son, John Crocker's line for that time period. If she had children in the 1850 census , then she could not be the "Minnie" which is the "pet" name for the given name "Minerva" in my Henry C. and Anna Lee Crocker family. Henry C. bn. (30/01/1846) was the son of John Crocker ,(bn. 1803) Solomon's son... Now, there is an elusive brother of Solomon Crocker named JOHN (C?)CROCKER who was married to a NANCY (some think was a Wofford) her "pet" name was Nicey. These are mentioned in " SPARTANBURG COUNTY / DISTRICT SOUTH CAROLINA, Deed Abstracts Books A-T 1785 -1827 # 672. I have not followed up on this brother of Solomon any further. They just seemed to disappeared, since he was not mentioned in his father, Arthur, or mother, Maryan Crocker's Wills I assumed they had died. But, now, with this enlightenment from you, they may have had a falling out with his family and went to N. C.... There are Two people looking for a John Crocker , one born about 1810 in N. C.(Shelby Crocker Smith). Another born abt 1820-1830- around Spartanburg County S. C. (Mike Crocker) Again, I suggest you go to the Crocker Cousins site and look in their mailing list archives , your Minerva may be listed. Also, I suggest that even though you found her as "Minvera" on the census , you might find her as a "MINNIE, which is a "pet " for Minerva. If you do find her please, report it to me as to which Crocker she does belong.
