given as son of Robert Watkins Crockett is recorded in Augusta Co. VA as
follows - (An abstract)
WILL BOOK no. 1, page 24 Signed Nov. 16, 1746. Probated Feb. 6, 1747
Executors named Wife Margaret and ROBERT DAVIS.
Witnesses: Thomas Gillham, James McCorkle, Robert Bratton.
Bondsmen for estate: Margaret Crockett, Robert Davis, James McCorkle,
Robert Bratton.
People named in will:
1. Wife - Margaret, to be executor.
2. son - John Crockett of Bath Co VA}
3. son - Archibald Crockett, un-readable)}
to the two sons - "I bequeath my land in the Cowpasture joining land of
James Meassie?"
4. Daughter - Jane Crockett
5. Son - Samuel Crockett, to have my tract of land on Jackson
River.
6. Son - Robert Crockett
7. Son - James Crockett
8. Son - Alexander Crockett - to have a mare and a cow, (certain other
live stock.)
9. "And if my wife have a child I will and bequeath it, a gray mare."
"As to the rest of my goods, place the management and distribution of it to my loving wife Margaret CROCKETT and Robert DAVIS whom I likewise constitute and make my only and sole executors."
The above shows that he was expecting another child, which was evidently
born and named Andrew CROCKETT. Andrew is later shown as a minor child and
John RAMSEY becomes his guardian.
A much later statement in the files of Augusta County records is as follows:
"Andrew CROCKETT, of Sullivan County, Tennessee, sold his interest in the
Crockett land in the Calfpasture in Rockbridge Co Va. in 1791."
----------------------------
Andrew CROCKETT, Sr. of Sullivan Co. Tenn. left his will recorded in that
county, in Will Book 1, page 196. Signed July 26, 1830.
Named wife - Christina, "Children of my last wife - Eliza CROCKETT, Minerva CROCKETT and Pleasant Andrew Jackson CROCKETT" To my son James CROCKETT and his son Leander CROCKETT. "Balance of my property in equal portions to all my children by my first wife." To my daughter - Jennet CROCKETT. To my step daughter - Sally M. CROCKETT.
(JCP Note: Either Sally M was daughter of Christina by a first husband, or
he is using an old term sometimes used for daughter-in-law.)
Executors: Wife, Christina, and my two worthy friends, Abraham MCCLELLAN and John FEATHERS.

NOTE; It appears that William Thompson married Jean Crockett.
May 21, 1775 - John Ramsey bond as guardian appointed by the court for SAMUEL, JAMES, ALEXANDER and ANDREW CROCKETT, orphans of Robert Crockett.
----------------[END]All the above does seem to indicate, without coming right out and saying so -
that there was a close bond of kinship between the DAVIS family and the
PICKENS family. This circumstantial evidence, plus family traditions seem to
argue a pretty good case for fact that Anne Pickens did marry Robert Davis.
This also accounts for the Ramsey-Pickens connection, as well as
Pickens-Crockett kinship."
