About Jennie Ella Marine Crocker
In 1882, Charles Frederick Crocker (nicknamed "The Colonel” due to his lifelong association with the National Guard) married Jennie Mills Easton. Jennie Easton was the daughter of Ansel Easton and Adeline Mills (sister of Darius Ogden Mills, the banker).
Adeline and Ansel Easton’s daughter Jennie M. Easton1 married Colonel Charles Frederick (“C. Frederick”) Crocker, the oldest son and namesake of the railroad builder, Charles Crocker.2 The couple had three children: Mary, Charles Templeton, and Jennie. Unfortunately, Jennie M. Easton Crocker died in 1887, at the age of 29. The children’s grandmother, widow Adeline Easton, helped C. Frederick raise the three children at his palatial home, which he purchased from William H. Howard in 1894. Howard had built the home and called it Uplands; when Crocker purchased it he changed the name to Monte Robles.3 The three children were orphaned in 1897 when C. Frederick died at the age of 43 of Bright’s disease.4 His mother-in-law Adeline Mills Easton, with financial advice from trustee and family friend industrialist Henry T. Scott, raised her three grandchildren thereafter.5
Mary Crocker, daughter of Jennie and Charles Frederick, moved to the East Coast, married Francis Burton Harrison and had two daughters. She died in an automobile accident in 1905 at the age of 24. Her brother, Charles Templeton Crocker, then at student at Yale, was a passenger in the car at the time of the accident.
Charles Templeton Crocker, son of Jennie and Charles Frederick, built Uplands II in 1912, when he was 27 years old, one year after he married Hawaiian sugar heiress Helene Irwin. The bride’s parents gave the couple a one-million-dollar check as a wedding present. The couple divorced in the early 1920s. The home now houses Crystal Springs Uplands School. Crocker served as the Town of Hillsborough’s first treasurer.
Jennie Adeline Crocker, daughter of Jennie and C. Frederick, married Malcolm Whitman before 300 guests at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in 1912. The architect George H. Howard designed a structure under which the newlyweds welcomed their reception guests on the front lawn of Jennie’s estate Home Place. After the couple divorced in 1921, Jennie married Robert Henderson.
