The following article was recently in the Springfield, TN newspaper....(thanks to Jeffery Johnson, Robertson County TN mailing list owner for the alert): >From Robertson County Times (Springfield, TN) Feb 24, 1999: CROCKETT RELATIVES SOUGHT --- "Special to the Times" (name of author not given) --- "Samuel Crockett was born on Dec 04, 1759 in Cumberland County, PA. Samuel served in the Revolutionary War in the Cumberland County, PA Militia. He married Sarah Wilson on Sept 25, 1787 in that same county and apparently very quickly began their move towards Robertson County, TN. Their family Bible lists their first child Wilson Crockett as being born in Kentucky in July 1788. Upon arriving in Robertson County (TN) in 1788, Samuel Crockett built a fort, which served as a safe haven for his own and other early settlers of this county... ...Samuel and Sarah, along with some of their eleven children are buried at Mt. Sharon (Cumberland Presbyterian Church). Time and weather has damaged and broken Samuel's tombstone." "The Mt. Sharon Church Cemetery Association has been making needed repairs to tombstones however, ... Samuel's can't be fixed." Descendants are requested to make donations for a replacement tombstone for Samuel Crockett and checks should be made payable to Mt. Sharon Cemetery Fund and mailed to: James B. Bowie 2480 Bowie Road Greenbrier, TN 37075 --------- I thought some of the other desdendants would like to know.....I had been told Samuel was buried in the "Crockett Cemetery" in Robertson County, so I was pleased to see the article.....there's a little more in the article about the church. At the organization of the Mt. Sharon Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1824, Samuel Crockett was named an elder.... From one Samuel Crockett descendants to the others.....Nancy Goodman in TN
