Hi Marion,
Your name sounds familiar and I think we may have "talked" before.
I would love to know where Robert Edward Crockett is buried! He and his
first wife Margaret are my 3rd Great-grandparents. I am descended through
Camden Pitt and his wife, Anna Watkins.
At one point, someone told me that Robert Edward was an attorney and that he
may have gone to Illinois (?) and that is probably where he is buried. I
have never had the time to check on that information. Might be a clue.
Another rumor was that Robert's wife Margaret was actualy a "Thom" instead
of "Thorn". So much to check... so little time!
I have not heard about the DNA tests. Can you tell me where to find this
information?
Nice to hear from a cousin and will save your email address to correspond
later. Right now I have to leave, but just wanted to take time to write a
quick note.

Subject: [INOWEN] Edwards family
I am not researching the Edwards family but I do have a little side
data
that you might find interesting.
Mornen, or Mourning, Edwards married Robert E. Crockett, 11 March 1849 in
Greene Co., IN. The marriage record has her listed as Mrs. Mourning
Edwards.
In 1850 they were living in Beech Creek T., Greene Co. with his four
children
by his first wife, Margaret Thorne, whom he married 24 Nov 1831. His
children were: Camden Pitt Crockett, b. 4 Aug 1833; Oliver B. b. 1835;
Virgil, b.
1838 and Minerva Jane, b. 1845. Mornen's son, Anderson Edwards, was also
living with them. The census gave his age as 15.
Mornen is buried in the Edward Cemetery, Beech Creek T., Greene Co. Her
tombstone reads Mornen Edwards Crockett, 7 Apr 1807-3 Apr 1896.
Robert Crockett is a brother of my ggg grandfather, David Crockett who
moved
to Owen Co. in 1822 from Anderson Co. TN with their widowed mother and her
12 children. DNA tests show they are first cousins of Davy Crockett of
Alamo
fame.
Robert Crockett died before 1860 and my ancestor died in 1855, Owen Co.
Does anyone know where they are buried?
Marion Vowell
