Note:
Alexander Crockett, son of Robert and Margaret Crockett, was born about
June, 1745 in Augusta County, Virginia and was baptized on June 1, 1745.
His father died between Nov 1745 and Feb 1746. Alexander was mentioned in
Robert Crockett's will dated Nov 16, 1746 (Notable Southern Families, Vol. V,
Wills and Court Records, Page 548 Vol. III p. 6)
Alexander's mother Margaret married John Ramsey as her second husband
abt 1749-1750. She and her husband and several of her children and their
families moved to the Carolinas abt 1755. 20th March, 1755. John Gay's bond

Augusta County, VA - Will Book 2, Abstracts From "Chalkley's Chronicles
of the Scotch-Irish in Virginia" ABSTRACTS OF WILLS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY,
VIRGINIA. AUGUSTA COUNTY COURT. WILL BOOK No. 2. P. 99.
Alexander married Mary [Kerr or Campbell], born about 1748. They had six *************** Campbell?
children, Robert, John, Margaret, Elizabeth, Mary and Martha.
Rockbridge County Virginia, including the area where Alexander resided, was
formed from part of Augusta County in 1778, so they resided in Rockbridge
County after 1778. Alexander was listed on the Rockbridge Co. Tithtable for 1778.
Alexander Crockett was a Corporal in Anson Co. [NC] Militia under Cpt Andrew
Pickens Colonial Records Vol 22 p 381. Also in the same company were John
Crockett, Ensign, Archibald and Robert Crockett, Privates. Many North Carolina
and Virginia Militia served with the Revolutionary Army in the last years of the
Revolutionary War, and Alexander and many of his relatives were among them.
The Battle of Guilford County Courthouse in North Carolina was fought on
15 Mar 1781, and many member of the North Carolina Militia fought with the
Continental Army. Cornwallis won, but the victory left the British Army so weak
that it caused them to lose the campaign in the southern colonies, and led to the
surrender at Yorktown. Alexander Crockett is believed to have died shortly after
that engagement of wounds received at Guilford. His will was made on 15 May 1781
at Guilford Court House, North Carolina.
Genealogies of Virginia Families II, Cl-Fi, Robert Crockett of the Great Calfpasture,
Augusta Co., Virginia, Page 393 - According to an inquiry in the Virginia Magazine
of History and Biography, VIII (October 1900) 219 asked for information concerning
"Col" Alexander Crockett , by tradition of Augusta County, who died of wounds
received at Guilford.
In Alexander Crockett's will he named his loving wife Mary D., his two sons Robert ** Will **
and John, and his four daughters Margaret, Elizabeth, Mary and Martha. Robert and
John were to have equal division of land, Robert to have the mill. He named his wife
Mary D. and his brother James as executors of his will. (Rockbridge Co. Will Book 1,
p. 204.) James refused to act as executor and suggested John Cartwell [See NOTE]
and Alexander Rhea. Alexander was listed on the Rockbridge Co. Tithtable for 1778,
but not for 1782. His wife Mary Crockett appeared on the 1782 Tithtable.
