Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 18 Oct 1850, Jasper Co, Mississippi
• Census: 11 Sep 1860, Davisville, Jasper Co, Mississippi

Notes:

She is from this line of Crockers of Isle of Wright. Some researchers say she is daughter of Anthony and some say Arthur. The various trees on line of have very few birth dates and those can vary widely.
Nevertheless, this line of Crockers does have a Middleton connection; her daughter married a Porter,and those lines merged into my ancestors cousin, Samuel Porter Middleton. So, there is continuity if not exactly.
