My one and only name for Hampshire Co. is: CROCKETT My gggg-grandfather James 'ASHER' Crockett says he was born in Hampshire Co. Sept 1760 and that he was bound out/his master was very cruel. Would love to find his parent/parents?? Was he bound out to learn a trade? because there were too many children to support?? was he an orphan or was his mother not married?? Continuing to search for the answers. Lynda Davis-Logan

Nothing new, I'm afraid... ----------------------------------------------- French, Janie Preston Collup, The Crockett family and connecting lines. Bristol, Tenn.: Press of the King Print. Co., c1928 This book lists a James Anthony "Asher" Crockett. He md. Sarah Blankenship, dau of Daniel and Sallie Clay Blankenship, in Montgomery Co. VA in 1800. It quotes from the DAR lineage book of 1912, p. 98, "Asher Crockett, 1760-1845. Soldier of Revolution. Served as Pvt. under Capt. Wallis and Kirkpatrick in Virginia line." His widow received a pension, he was b Hampshire Co., VA. DAR Descendant #91,303.

Hi Genie, Thanks for the info, but I have all of that. Some of it is even WRONG!! Asher's wife WAS Sarah Blankenship. However, she was not the d/o Daniel Blankenship. (The quotes from the DAR Patriot Index were from one of Asher's g-granddaughters in the early 1900s when she joined the DAR. The lineage has since been updated in 1976 when my mother & I joined the DAR. The service info is correct, but not the parents for Sarah Blankenship Crockett). She was the d/o Peter Blankenship, Jr & his wife Jemimah Perdue. My Blankenships and Crocketts intermarried all the way down the line. We've also never found any information that would indicate that Asher's middle name was Anthony. Someone found the name 'James Anthony Crockett' and has decided that he was our Asher and merged the lines. My mother & I talked to a cousin years ago in the early '70s when we were still looking for our connection to Asher. Truman Crockett was the g-grandson of Asher and he could remember his grandfather -Andrew Johnson Crockett - who was Asher's youngest son. Truman was the one who told us that Andrew's father was James Crockett. When we mentioned that we kept finding the name of 'ASHER' Crockett Truman got all excited and said YES that's his name "JAMES ASHER CROCKETT"!!!!!!! This one lists an Asher Crockett as alias James > Anderson Crockett. Doubt if he is the same one > as above. YES this is my gggg-grandfather James Asher Crockett who took the name of James Anderson when he re-enlisted the 2nd time to get away from his cruel master. This is kind of ironic because the website for the 'BATTLE OF COWPENS' where Asher participated in the battle now thinks he's a "minority". Thanks for looking.
