Found the connection through Findlay,Finley, Findley line. My Grandparents were Findley's,that came from Ireland.

The line connected to this Crockett line also connects to another messed up line for the Forbes/Forbus/Forbis/Faubus. John Forbes was the issue profile. Based off information, Alexander connects to one of these Findlay lines.

The alleged French origins of the Crockett family in America

French Crockett ancestry

A well-known theory of the origin of the Crockett family (or families) in America makes them descendants of Antoine Desasure de Croquetagne, a French Huguenot. According to this theory, "Antoine Desasure Perronett de Crocketagne" was born in 1643 in Montauban. Described as "one of the most handsome young men in the south of France", he drew the personal attention of king Louis XIV who placed him second in command of the household guards. He met his future wife "the beautiful Louise de Saix" among the nobility. Antoine started working as a commercial agent in the wine and salt trade of Southern France for the Maury family, and under their influence converted to the Protestant faith.[1] In 1672, (several years before the Edict of Nantes was revoked) Antoine, with his wife and infant son, Gabriel, fled across the English Channel and remained in England for a short time, but shortly fled to Ireland.[1] There, they changed their name from "de Crocketagne" to Crockett, either to escape their French identity or because their name was too difficult to pronounce.

This version of the Crockett ancestry appears widely accepted: it is found in numerous online genealogies, including Roglo and Rootsweb and in Wikipedia. It is reported in many books, from recent biographies of the famous Davy Crockett to compilations printed by Daughters of Texas Revolution and the Huguenot Society.[2] Antoine Desasure de Crocketagne and his family have their own Find A Grave memorials (strictly virtual memorials with no known place of burial).

Why is this French theory dubious?

DNA analysis: DNA research does not seem to support the theory of the French origin of Crocketts. The results also show that not all Crocketts are related, contradicting the Crocketagne theory which makes all Crocketts descentants of the Croquetagnes. See a discussion at Rootsweb (possibly now offline) or FamilyTreeDNA. < link >:

As of April 18, 2023, there are six emerging family lines and fifteen matchless participants. At this point in time, there is inadequate documentation to prove that Antoine de Crocketagne ever existed. Many, if not all, Crockett's would like to claim him as an ancestor but for anyone to do so with inadequate documentation is pure and imaginative speculation. Our DNA project has proven that many of the Crockett lines French and Armstrong connected in their book "Notable Southern Families - The Crockett Family" are unrelated by blood. I was contacted by a French genealogist years ago who said that no records for Antoine de Crocketagne had ever been found. She also said that de Crocketagne is not and has never been a French surname.”

JOSEPH LOUIS CROCKETT was born on 9 Jan 1676 in DONEGAL, BANTRY BAY, KENMORE, KERRY, IRELAND. He died (VA). JOSEPH LOUIS CROCKETT, After the death of King Louis XIV of France, in 1715, Joseph left Ireland and revisited France. Such was the hatred against all Protestants and persons who had changed their religion, that Joseph (whose family had become Protestants) gathered up all his friends and family in France and took them to America, where they settled in the French Colony of New Rochelle, in the Colony of New York. At New Rochelle was born William D. Crockett, the first child of American birth to Joseph and Sarah.

The other members of Joseph's extended family, who were still living in Ireland, and who were presumably also Protestants living in the midst of Catholics, soon left Ireland and settled in the Colony of Virginia, in 1716, 1718, and 1719. In 1718, John Crockett, son of Joseph Louis CROCKETT, Sr., removed from New Rochelle and settled on the Rapidan River, in present-day Madison Co., VA, among the families of FONTAINE, MAUREY, and GUERANTS, other emigrants of French extraction (via Ireland and Scotland).

The above was transcribed from papers written by Samuel M. Duncan. (Although it is unclear exactly how Samuel was related to the Crockett family [Samuel's family originated in Scotland], members of his family evidently eventually married into descendants of the Crockett family. Samuel's emigrant ancestor arrived in Virginia in 1722.)

Joseph was born in County Donegal, Ireland 1676.

He married Sarah Steward in Ireland. Sarah was born about 1676. Sarah was the daughter of Thomas Steward.

Joseph participated in the emigration event 1708 in America.

Because of religious persecution against the French Hugunots, the Crocketagne family moved to Ireland where Joseph and all but one (the eldest) of his siblings were born. Joseph Louis immigrated to the United States between 1715 - 1717 (first to Pennsyvania and later to Virginia). Here he Americanized his name from Crocketagne to Crockett.

(This is probably the same Joseph Crockett who owned 450 acres on the South Fork of Indian River.)

Joseph Louis Crockett Sr. was an emigrant from County Donegal, Ireland, he and his wife Sarah Stewart (daughter of Thomas Stewart) were fleeing the economic depression and religious persecutions of that time. They left Ireland about 1708 going first to New Rochelle, New York, but soon move to Penn. and then to Va., appearing in the South prior to that trans-Appalachian leap for the Pacific.

Joseph and his family, settled on the Roanoke river near Shawsville Va., the present Crockett Springs being on the old Crockett estate.Joseph and his family arrived in Va. between 1716 and 1718.(Source; History of the Crockett Family.)

His wife, Sarah's family of Stewart's (Stuart or Stewart) was closely related to William Stewart of northern Ireland, who married Catherine Elliot and emigrated to America in 1822, bringing 2 sons William Jr. and George (youngest) b. 5-15-1821 was granddad of Rev. John Stewart French

Kegley, " Virginia Fronier"says the family of Joseph Crockett came from Penn. to Va. before 1748. Land was taken first on the branches of Reed Creek of New River and on the South Fork of Holston. The first home place was on a tract of 1154 acres surveyed in March 1748 for Joseph and Esther Crockett on a stream which flows though the Valley of Contention and Strife, another tract entered near by was at a place called the Cove. The stream referred to was another branch of Reed Creek known as Cove Creek and the land above the gap of the mountain belonging chiefly to the Crocketts was known as Crocketts Cove.Esther Crockett was the widow of Samuel Crockett, whose family also had settled on Reed Creek. In the retreat of the frontier people in 1755 and 1756 the family of Joseph Crockett retired from Western Va.In 1757 he was reported an inhabitant of Augusta Co. After the war they returned to Western Va. stopping this time on the South branch of the Roanoke. Joseph Crockett assumed payment of the John McCurry to James Patton in June 1763.Hugh Crockett the eldest son, made an entry for 400 acres in 1766 between Joseph Crockett's land and ye wagon road from Vause's land.In May 1767, Samuel Crockett Purchased from Wm. McCurry 248 acres on the South Branch of Roanoke, and entered 200 acres joining the land he lived on Jan.12, 1767, was proved on March 17, 1767, by Philip Love and Thomas Barnes two of the witnesses. He gave his wife Jean, for her lifetime one-third of the home place on South Fork of Roanoke joining Mr. Mattison and also her bed and bed clothes; to his well beloved son, Hugh the above mentioned plantation on which he should maintain his mother during her lifetime, and likewise fifty pounds of his effects; to his sons, Walter and Joseph, the plantation he formerly lived on and the plantation which joined it which Walter then lived on, both being one Survey (Crockett" Cove) to his son, Samuel, the survey on Seeder Run above Willey's (Cedar Run now Wytheville; to his son, Robert the tract on the head of Peak Creek and the tract on Camp Run above Samuel Montgomery's and to sons Walter, Joseph, and Robert, a tract at the head of South Fork of Holston; Joseph a BLEW ROAN horse and saddle and gun; Robert a roan two year old "STALLING' colt and his gun; Martha a horse or mare worth 12 pounds and her saddle and her feather bed and bed clothes; Elizabeth, the same as Martha; Agnes, five shillings; Mary, five Shillings, and Know More; the rest of the estate to be divided equally BETWIXT WIFE, and SONS WALTER, HUGH, JOSEPH AND ROBERT, AND DAUGHTERS MARTHA AND ELIZABETH. Walter qualified as executor with sureties, William Christian, David Looney and Thomas Barnes. Augusta Will Book 3, 506.We are told that Robert Crockett was killed by Indians in Tenn. Hugh married Rebecca Lorton and continued to live on the Roanoke. Joseph, Walter and Samuel developed the lands on New River; Mary married Jacob Kent and lived on the Roanoke; Elizabeth is given as the wife of William Robinson of the Roanoke; Agnes, as the wife of Henry Davis of New River and The Holston; and Martha as the wife of Thomas Montgomery.

Much of the above information was taken from Kegley's "Virginia Frontier."

The family converted to Protestantism and, as Huguenots fled France in the 17th century, settling in the north of Ireland. Family tradition says that David Crockett's father was born on the voyage to America from Ireland, though in fact Crockett's great-grandfather, William David Crockett, was registered as having been born in New Rochelle, New York in 1709.

(The above was transcribed from papers written by Samuel M. Duncan)

The Notable Southern Families, The Crockett Family and Connecting Lines, Volume V source shows that he emigrated to America between the years 1715-1717, settling first in Pennsylvania and later going to Virginia. (p. 4) This would conflict with the information that his son, William David Crockett, was born in New York in 1709.

His parents were Antoine Dessaure Perronette de la Crocketagne & Louise de Saix of France Source: Find A Grave - Cemetery Records and Online Memorials - Joseph Louis Crockett

The Notable Southern Families, The Crockett Family and Connecting Lines, Volume V source shows his date of birth as 9 January 1676, born in Donegal, Ireland. (p. 203)
