My Jones line was from Weakley Co., TN (neighboring county to Obion). A William JONES was my ggg grandfather (b. c1790 in VA, I believe). My gggg grandfather was also named William JONES so it's all very confusing. My Jones line was in Weakley Co. from Wilson Co., TN by 1830. As far as my CROCKETT line, my ggg grandfather was Aaron CROCKETT, brother of "Davy". I have the book CROCKETT COUSINS, by Kathryn E. Jones, and here is some of the information in that book about Rebecca Margaret CROCKETT and Cave Johnson CROCKETT. These CROCKETTs are listed in Chapter X and is noted as Robertson Co. TN CROCKETTs. Samuel CROCKETT and 2 of his brothers, John and William all came from PA to Robertson Co. in 1788. Their parents are said to have been William and Margaret CROCKETT. Margaret was b. 1734 in Ireland. Here is their son John's line. It includes both Cave and Rebecca Margaret who married William D. JONES. William and Margaret's son, John CROCKETT was b. c1768, PA; d. 1856, Humphreys Co., TN; married Rebecca JOHNSON, 26 May 1794. Rebecca died in 1816. John then married Mary PAINE. One of the children of this John CROCKETT was John M. CROCKETT, b. 3 Nov 1810, Humphreys Co., TN; d. 23 Nov 1878, Obion Co., TN. He married 4 times -- 1.) Unk. BLACK; m. 2.) Grace CROCKETT, 20 Dec 1843, Obion Co., TN; m. 3.) Louisa McALISTER, 24 Sep 1846, Obion Co., TN; m. 4.) Elizabeth A. (Unknown maiden name). The son of John M.(b. 1810) was Cave Johnson CROCKETT, b. 11 Sep 1852, Obion Co., TN. He married Elizabeth "Bidie" EVANS. They had 8 children: Cora Hill; Sallie, b. 1873; Lou; Lida McAlister; Cave J., Jr., b. 1877; David, b. 1878; Mary, b. 1882; and James Cave, b. 1888. Another son of John CROCKETT (b. 1768) was Joseph CROCKETT, b. 4 Feb 1813( father of Rebecca Margaret). He married Elizabeth Wilmoth LUMSDEN (No location of birth or marriage listed). Joseph and Elizabeth had Rebecca Margaret CROCKETT, b. 26 Oct 1842; d. 31 Mar 1902. She married William D. JONES, 14 Feb 1866, Obion Co., TN. Unfortunately, there are no children listed for Rebecca and William. Rebecca's siblings were as follows: 1. Jesse L., died young 2. Joseph 3. Elizabeth, m. H. H. BROWN, 30 May 1867, Obion Co., TN 4. John Barkley, b. c1848; d 1861 5. Mary Ann, b. 22 Nov 1850; . 29 April 1907; m. Joseph Edward MOSS, 15 Oct 1869 6. Stephen, b. c1853; d. 1870 7. Henry J., b. 1856; d. 1879 8. George P., b. 1859; d. 1860 9. Jacob J., b. 1861; d. 1870 10. Son, b. 1864; d. 1864 So Cave J. CROCKETT and Rebecca M. CROCKETT JONES were cousins. I hope some of this information will help in your research. Good luck. Brenda
