About Daniel Crocker
Descendant of Mayflower passengers John Howland and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland
DEACON
There are 2 different Daniel Crockers who had similar birth and death dates.
They have often been confused with each and merged as the same person.
This Daniel Crocker was a Deacon, the other was a Loyalist Sympathizer.
He was born in Plympton Massachusetts in 1722 and died in Nova Scotia in 1788.
The other Daniel Crocker was born in England in 1723 and died in Nova Scotia in 1787.
There may be other variations of these two combined going around.
Daniel was born August 28, 1722[1] [2]. He and his sister Rebecca were baptised in February 1724 in the West Parish Church in Barnstable, Barnstable County, (then) Province of Massachusetts Bay, the son of Abel Crocker and wife Mary.[3]
His first marriage is recorded on 31 December 1741 in the Vital Records of Plympton, Massachusetts, as: "Crocker, Daniel [dup. (s. Dea. Abel of Carver, then P., and Mary (Isham) of Barnstable)] and Suseanah Dunham [dup. (Susanna, first w., d. Israel and Joanna (d. Dea. John Rickard and Mary of P.)], Dec. 31, 1741."[4] [5].
Their children included:
- Elijah, born 1743[6] [7]

His wife Susannah died circa 1762. On March 30, 1763, he married Abigail Roberts[14]. He and Abigail moved to Nova Scotia before 1765[15], however it was not uncommon for Nova Scotia Planters to register their children in Massachusetts, which they did.

About:
The following was researched about 1930 by Bertha Loiuse Johnson, GGG granddaughter of Lt. Daniel Crocker. Apparently there are two Daniel Crockers who were born and died about the same time. One was born in England, the other Lt. Daniel Crocker was born in Barnstable Massachusetts to Deacon Abel Crocker and Mary (Isham) Crocker.
This has since been corrected. The 2 Daniel's profiles have been split.
"Neither the widow Morton, second wife of Daniel, nor their son by him, Roland, is named in the foregoing will, quite probably because of the Loyalist sympathies of Daniel. Although she may have predeceased him, family tradition has it she left him, with her son, because he refused to support the cause of the colonists during the revolution. That there is a basis for this tradition is shown in the record of this son's services in the revolution . Roland Crocker, born about 1757, served in Massachusetts Line American Revolution Corps marines at the Penobscot expedition into Canada."

The following was researched about 1930 by Bertha Loiuse Johnson, GGG granddaughter of Lt. Daniel Crocker. Apparently there are two Daniel Crockers who were born and died about the same time. One was born in Massachusetts, the Lt. Daniel Crocker listed here was born in Devonshire England, son of Samson Crocker of Devonshire, England. Daniel Crocker married 1st on 4 March 1741, Sarah, dtr of Jabez and Sarah (Babson) Marchant of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and had by her 12 children, of whom four lived to have children. He married 2nd a Mrs. Morton, a widow, and had a son by her.
Daniel Crocker probably descended from the Crockers of Lynham, Devonshire, England. Daniel and Mary had 12 children of whom 4 lived. A Francis Crocker, also from Devonshire, is noted in Barnstable before 1643 where he died about 1700; he also left numerous descendants. Daniel Crocker, who was among the first English settlers of Nova Scotia after the expulsion of the French, was born 11 February 1723 in Kings Kerswell, county Devon, England, the son of Samson Crocker of Kings Kerswell; the parish record there records him as “Crocker, Daniel [son of] Samson and Elizabeth, Feb. 11,1723”. The parish register also includes other members of the family; Samson b. 2 May 1725; John b. 21 February 1727; Elizabeth b. 3 August 1728; Mary b. 5 August 1730, and; Hugh b. 7 July 1732. Upon reaching manhood Daniel Crocker became a lieutenant in the British army and saw service in the American Colonies during the French and Indian Wars and fought under General Wolfe at the fall of Quebec. For his services he apears to have received a grant of land in Nova Scotia and settled there prior to 1765, first at Argyle from whence he removed to Yarmouth about 1765, and became treasurer there in 1768. He is listed in Yermouth as grantee of 3 lots for a total of 841 acres of the township of Yarmouth. He is also listed as grantee of lot 20 of Cheboque Point, near Yarmouth. In 1765 he served as one of the town surveyors in laying out and platting the townsite of Yarmouth. He also appears in 1763 as grantee of a tract of land at Cumberland, Nova Scotia, but the description of the land and its extent is lacking. The English did not settle in Nova Scotia immediately after the expulsion of the French. Not until 1758 when Governor Lawrence of Nova Scotia issued a proclamation inviting New Englanders to settle the vacated Acadian lands and farms was there much movement to resettle the country. During the years 1755-60 wandering bands of Acadians and Indians harassed the English, shooting and scalping whenever they had the opportunity. At Bay Verte in the spring of 1755, nine soldiers of a work party under Lt. Frank Bowen were shot and scalped while on a detail gathering wood for the fort. Col. Scott, commandant at Fort Cumberland, immediately sent 200 men, together with some regulars, under Lt. Daniel Crocker to take charge at Bay Verte.
Miss Bertha Louise Johnson of Taunton, Massachusetts, obtained records from Principal Probate Registry in London, England in 1930, Daniel Crocker married 1st on 4 March 1741, Sarah, dtr of Jabez and Sarah (Babson) Marchant of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and had by her 12 children, of whom four lived to have children. He married 2nd a Mrs. Morton, a widow, and had a son by her. The will was dated 21 February 1788 and proved 1 March 1788. In it he names his sons Samson of Kings Kerswell, Devonshire, ENG, and Reuben of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and daughter Mary who married John Abrams. He grants his 1/2 interest in the schooner “Good Hope” to John Abrams and grants William Marchant certain lands in Lakeville [Kings County], Nova Scotia, and forgives him a debt.

?????? Like his father Sampson Crocker became a lieutenant in the British Army and fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775. He apparently remained loyal to England during the war. Following the Revolutionary War he returned to settle on the family farmlands in Kings Kerswell, Devonshire, England. He also inherited some lands in Nova Scotia. Sampson Crocker married Millie Abrams, his sister-in-law, sister to John Abrams, in 1765.

Miss Bertha Louise Johnson of Taunton, Massachusetts, obtained records from Principal Probate Registry in London, England in 1930, Daniel Crocker married 1st on 4 March 1741, Sarah, dtr of Jabez and Sarah (Babson) Marchant of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and had by her 12 children, of whom four lived to have children. He married 2nd a Mrs. Morton, a widow, and had a son by her. The will was dated 21 February 1788 and proved 1 March 1788.

Biography
Daniel Crocker probably descended from the Crockers of Lynham, Devonshire, England. Daniel and Mary had 12 children of whom 4 lived. A Francis Crocker, also from Devonshire, is noted in Barnstable before 1643 where he died about 1700; he also left numerous descendants. Daniel Crocker, who was among the first English settlers of Nova Scotia after the expulsion of the French, was born 11 February 1723 in Kings Kerswell, county Devon, England, the son of Samson Crocker of Kings Kerswell; the parish record there records him as “Crocker, Daniel [son of] Samson and Elizabeth, Feb. 11,1723”. The parish register also includes other members of the family; Samson b. 2 May 1725; John b. 21 February 1727; Elizabeth b. 3 August 1728; Mary b. 5 August 1730, and; Hugh b. 7 July 1732. Upon reaching manhood Daniel Crocker became a lieutenant in the British army and saw service in the American Colonies during the French and Indian Wars and fought under General Wolfe at the fall of Quebec. For his services he apears to have received a grant of land in Nova Scotia and settled there prior to 1765, first at Argyle from whence he removed to Yarmouth about 1765, and became treasurer there in 1768. He is listed in Yermouth as grantee of 3 lots for a total of 841 acres of the township of Yarmouth. He is also listed as grantee of lot 20 of Cheboque Point, near Yarmouth. In 1765 he served as one of the town surveyors in laying out and platting the townsite of Yarmouth. He also appears in 1763 as grantee of a tract of land at Cumberland, Nova Scotia, but the description of the land and its extent is lacking. The English did not settle in Nova Scotia immediately after the expulsion of the French. Not until 1758 when Governor Lawrence of Nova Scotia issued a proclamation inviting New Englanders to settle the vacated Acadian lands and farms was there much movement to resettle the country. During the years 1755-60 wandering bands of Acadians and Indians harassed the English, shooting and scalping whenever they had the opportunity. At Bay Verte in the spring of 1755, nine soldiers of a work party under Lt. Frank Bowen were shot and scalped while on a detail gathering wood for the fort. Col. Scott, commandant at Fort Cumberland, immediately sent 200 men, together with some regulars, under Lt. Daniel Crocker to take charge at Bay Verte.
Miss Bertha Louise Johnson of Taunton, Massachusetts, obtained records from Principal Probate Registry in London, England in 1930, Daniel Crocker married 1st on 4 March 1741, Sarah, dtr of Jabez and Sarah (Babson) Marchant of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and had by her 12 children, of whom four lived to have children. He married 2nd a Mrs. Morton, a widow, and had a son by her. The will was dated 21 February 1788 and proved 1 March 1788. In it he names his sons Samson of Kings Kerswell, Devonshire, ENG, and Reuben of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and daughter Mary who married John Abrams. He grants his 1/2 interest in the schooner “Good Hope” to John Abrams and grants William Marchant certain lands in Lakeville [Kings County], Nova Scotia, and forgives him a debt. 
The following was researched about 1930 by Bertha Loiuse Johnson, GGG granddaughter of Lt. Daniel Crocker. Apparently there are two Daniel Crockers who were born and died about the same time. One was born in Massachusetts, the Lt. Daniel Crocker listed here was born in Devonshire England, son of Samson Crocker of Devonshire, England.
