John Crockett (frontiersman)

The Crockett/Crocketague name is a Registered Lineage with the Huguenot Society of the Founders of Manakin in the Colony of Virginia (FMCV) [4] though "Davy" Crockett does not mention it in his autobiography.

[1][6][7] In 1777, David Crockett and part of the family were killed in a Chickamauga Cherokee raid, led by Dragging Canoe, at the onset of the Cherokee–American wars.

[7] After the attack, the remaining Crocketts sold the property to a new settler in the area, a French Huguenot man, Colonel Thomas Amis.

In 1788, Crockett was justice of the court when a young Andrew Jackson received his law license according to some genealogies.

The elder Crockett was drunk when he learned his son was avoiding school and he punished Davy severely, leading him to flee and stay away for years.
