Biography

Thomas arrived in 1630 with the other employees of John Mason's Laconia Co. and lived at David Thompson's house at Little Harbor before going to Newichawannock House in 1633 where he and the others suffered from insufficient clothing and food. In a report to the powers that be in London dated 13 July1633, Ambrose Gibbons stated that Thomas would be one of four men who would remain with him. (23) On 23 Apr. 1634 Thomas received £6 from Ambrose Gibbons for one year of service rendered to Capt. John Mason probably at Portsmouth, NH where he had "3 weeks diet" of John Pickering at a cost of 12/ while working at Sander's Point.(1)

About the year 1641 Thomas had a gift of land from Thomas Gorges containing approximately 147 acres on the east side of Spruce Creek which was called "Crockett's Neck".(2) Thomas lived at Warehouse Point and had land extending to the north shore of Kittery Point. He sold a house and a few acres near Warehouse Point to Abraham Corbett. (3)

I Robert Mendam of Pascataquacke have bought the House & 4 Accors of Ground of Thomas Crockett wch he bought of William Wormwood And I the sd Robert Mendam am to give to the sd Thomas Crocket… the Sum of Nine Pounds & Ten Shillings to be paid the next Springe Three Pounds in Money & the Rest in Comodities at Mikellmus next in the year 1648… the 21th of Septembr 1647… The Mark of Thomas T Crocket John Seely Thomas Bestone (13)

Thomas also bought 8 acres of land on Spruce Creek from Joseph Miles, and leased another 20 acres, on 11 Nov. 1647 and then sold it to Rice Thomas in Dec. 1647. (23)

Thomas was the ferryman at Brave Boat Harbor 27 June 1648 and was to charge 3d for a freeman and 4d for a foreigner. On 4 July 1659 “Thomas Crockett is allowed to keep the ferry over Pischataqua River from Hugh Gunnisons to Capt. Pendletons for which he is to have six pence a p'son for his ferriage and to have the use yr of for his life tyme provided he fitt conviently for itt for the doing we'of the Town of Kittery is to take effectual care upon penalty of the losse of five pounds for yr neglect." In 1666 this ferry was entrusted to Abraham Corbett.(4)

"Janv: 10: 1653 at a Towne meeting at yorke Given & granted unto Thomas Crockett by the Towne of yorke a pcell of planting ground which lyeth next to ye sea side betwixt the bounds of Mr. Ed : Godfrey & Mr. ffran : Raynes wch proportion of ground is to runn backe into the Countrey… till the full quantity of ffourty acers of land be Completed & Confirmed by the sd Towne unto Crockett… John Allcocke, Richard Bankes & Arthur Bragdon in ye behalf of ye rest."(5)

Thomas seems to have had close ties with Hugh Gunnison who left Boston in 1651 and arrived in Kittery where he kept a tavern. Ann Crockett deposed that “she being several times at the house of Mr. Hugh Gunnisson in his lifetime & near his death, the said Gunnisson charged me the deponent & my husband, that we should not see the two Gunnisson’s wronged of the neck of land & island belonging to it”. Thomas and Ann, and the Gunnisons, each named a son Elihu (before the Gunnisons left Boston). Each family also used the name Joseph and the Crocketts named their youngest son Hugh. All this leads one to believe that the families were related in some way. Thomas and Hugh were about the same age so perhaps their wives were sisters or one may have married a sister of the other. Unfortunately, without more information the connection will remain a mystery. (23)

Thomas took the oath of allegiance to Massachusetts at York 23 Nov. 1652.(6)

He was evidently not satisfied with the Massachusetts government as he did not sign the petition to Cromwell which referred to the complaints presented to the Protector by "some gentlemen of worth" (ie. Godfrey) for restitution of their right of jurisdiction and asked that they be not heeded, intimating that they are instigated by "professed Royalists whose breathings that way... have been so farre stifled."(7)

As one of the workmen Thomas was involved in a land dispute his deposition being taken 22 Apr. 1654.(8)

On 28 June 1655 Sylvester Stover and his wife were presented by the Grand Jury "for Complayneing of one another on a Lords Day in the morneing In saiing that his wife did abuse him & Badd him goe to Thomas Crocketts to his bastard & Carry some bread & Cheeze, & the sayd wife of Stover said that her husband did ‘commonly call her hoore'. Witnesse Peter Weare."(9)

At the court held in York on 3 July 1660 “evidence came into the court which gave just cause of suspicion of too much frequent familiarity between Joseph Davesse & Ann Crockett” and “it is therefore ordered & an act of separation is passed between the said Davisse & Ann Crockett upon the penalty of ten pounds”. Thomas was none too pleased with this situation and “in the behalf of his wife Ann Crockett” he sued Richard White for defamation and he won. (23) Looks like poor Ann had a bit of a reputation in town.

In 1656 Thomas bought from John Billing Jr. and his mother Mrs. Rice Thomas a house and land on the point near the harbor's mouth where Maj. Shapleigh's storehouse stood:

This Confirmation of a bill of sale made this 12th of August 1661 : & wras I John Billine with the Consent of my Mother Elizabeth Tommass did make sale of an house & Land… in ye yeare… 1656 on the eleaventh day of Octobr & wras I was then in my minority & Could not make Legall sale of the sd Land for wch I was fully satisfyd according to condition by the partys yt I sould it unto wch was namely to Thomas Crockett & Rice Tommass, I do now being of full years Continue the same… I John Billine of Kittery… have… sould unto Thoms Crocket… an house & Land… at the place Comanly Called the Poynt neare the Harbours Mouth a part of yt necke of Land on which Major Shapleighs store house stands on Which house & Land I had possession of a Inheritance after ye decease of my father John Billine Senjor the former husband of my Mother the abovesd Elizabeth Tomass which house & Land I have really sould… unto Thomas Crocket… for… Twelve pounds already payd unto mee… six pounds by Tho : Crockett & six pounds by Rice Tomass… this twelveth day of August… 1661… the marke of W John Billine In Presence of us Jos : David James Pheelps

Looks like Rice Thomas’s grant was on the SW side of the creek whereas Thomas’ land was on the NE side. From the looks of the depositions it appears that everyone in town saw Thomas cutting trees on his lot!

Thomas was the Constable in 1657 and in 1667 he had built his house upon Crockett's Neck and was living there. He signed the petition that Thomas Wells be permitted to preach among them 10 Nov. 1673.(11)

Thomas was born in 1615. He is the son of Thomas Crockett and Alse Churchward is believed to have been born in England about 1608-1611, while a history of Kittery, Maine lists 1606. He married Ann Gunnison probably about 1630. In 1641, he had a gift of land from Thomas Gorges containing about 187 acres on the east side of Spruce Creek, which came to be called "Crockett's Neck". In 1657, Thomas served as a constable.

Thomas died in or before 1679, his widow Ann administering his estate in that year. Then, sometime before 1683, "Ann, widow of Thomas Crockett", married Diggory Jeffreys at Kittery Point. She was still living in 1712.

Biography

Thomas arrived in 1630 with the other employees of John Mason's Laconia Co. and lived at David Thompson's house at Little Harbor before going to Newichawannock House in 1633 where he and the others suffered from insufficient clothing and food. In a report to the powers that be in London dated 13 July1633, Ambrose Gibbons stated that Thomas would be one of four men who would remain with him. (23) On 23 Apr. 1634 Thomas received £6 from Ambrose Gibbons for one year of service rendered to Capt. John Mason probably at Portsmouth, NH where he had "3 weeks diet" of John Pickering at a cost of 12/ while working at Sander's Point.(1)

About the year 1641 Thomas had a gift of land from Thomas Gorges containing approximately 147 acres on the east side of Spruce Creek which was called "Crockett's Neck".(2) Thomas lived at Warehouse Point and had land extending to the north shore of Kittery Point. He sold a house and a few acres near Warehouse Point to Abraham Corbett. (3)

In 1666 this ferry was entrusted to Abraham Corbett.(4)

"Janv: 10: 1653 at a Towne meeting at yorke Given & granted unto Thomas Crockett by the Towne of yorke a pcell of planting ground which lyeth next to ye sea side betwixt the bounds of Mr. Ed : Godfrey & Mr. ffran : Raynes wch proportion of ground is to runn backe into the Countrey… till the full quantity of ffourty acers of land be Completed & Confirmed by the sd Towne unto Crockett… John Allcocke, Richard Bankes & Arthur Bragdon in ye behalf of ye rest."(5)

Looks like Rice Thomas’s grant was on the SW side of the creek whereas Thomas’ land was on the NE side. From the looks of the depositions it appears that everyone in town saw Thomas cutting trees on his lot!

Thomas was the Constable in 1657 and in 1667 he had built his house upon Crockett's Neck and was living there. He signed the petition that Thomas Wells be permitted to preach among them 10 Nov. 1673.(11)

Thomas was born in 1615. He is the son of Thomas Crockett and Alse Churchward is believed to have been born in England about 1608-1611, while a history of Kittery, Maine lists 1606. He married Ann Gunnison probably about 1630. In 1641, he had a gift of land from Thomas Gorges containing about 187 acres on the east side of Spruce Creek, which came to be called "Crockett's Neck". In 1657, Thomas served as a constable.

Thomas died in or before 1679, his widow Ann administering his estate in that year. Then, sometime before 1683, "Ann, widow of Thomas Crockett", married Diggory Jeffreys at Kittery Point. She was still living in 1712.

Genealogical and family history of the state of Maine, Volume 4 By George Thomas Little, Henry Sweetser Burrage, Albert Roscoe Stubbs

Thomas Crockett, who CROCKETT seems to be progenitor of all the New England families of this name, was probably a brother of another Crockett who was the founder of the family of this name in Virginia. Both were of English birth.

(I) Thomas Crockett was born about 1606, according to one deposition ; another would seem to show 16n as the birth date.

In 1630 Captain Walter Neal arrived at Little Harbor (or Piscataqua) as governor of Mason's Province. Ambrose Gibbons came at the same time as factor or general manager of the plantation. Thomas Crockett was in the employ of Ambrose Gibbons in 1633-34.

A number of witnesses testified that Gorges granted him a neck of land containing 187 acres, on the east side of Spruce creek, in 1641, and called Crockett's Neck. To show they were not squatters, there is a record of the proceedings of York court, Februarv 23, 1639, in which "John Billing and John Lauder, both of Piscataquack, fishermen," sold to Joseph Mills (Miles) eight acres of land situated upon Spruce creek, conditioned that he should pay the grantees six pence per acre for each and every acre he should clear and plant upon, which rent was to be paid annually upon the feast day of Michael the Archangel. The record declares they had the land from Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Miles sold his interest in this land to Thomas Crockett, planter, November 16, 1647, and Crockett sold to Rice Thomas, December, 164_.

Thomas Crockett sold, September 21, 1647, a house and four acres of land which he had bought of William Wormwood, to Robert Mendum.

He lived at Warehouse Point, and at Kittery Point till later than 1658, though he was for a short time near the head of Braveboat Harbor. In June, 1648, Thomas Crockett was appointed to keep ferry at Braveboat Harbor, and to "have for a freeman three pence, and for a foreigner four pence per man."

In 1659 Thomas Crockett was allowed to keep the ferry from Hugh Gunnison's to Captain Pendleton's, for which he was to have "six pence a person for his ferriage, and to have the use of for his life tyme, provided he fitt conveniently for itt, for the doing we'of the town of Kittery is to take effectual care upon penalty of the losse of five pounds for y'r neglect."

He had a grant of land in York in 1651, and signed the submission to Massachusetts in York, in 1652. He was constable in 1657.

In 1667 he had built a house upon Crockett's Neck, and was living there. This neck was divided among his sons and sons-in-law.

His widow Ann administered his estate in 1679, and married, before 1683, Diggory Jeffreys, at Kittery Point. She was living in 1712.

Children of Thomas Crockett:

• 1. Ephraim, born about 1641; married Ann ; son Elihu deeds land in 1683, living in 1698. (II) Ephraim, son of Thomas Crockett, was born about 1641, and died about 1688. He was a tailor. He married Ann , before 1672. In York deeds there is a record, "I, Ephraim Crockett, of Kittery, in ye county of York, Taylor," to "Charles Ógradoe, of Portsmouth, in Piccataqua River, Yoeman, . . . my ten acre Lott," etc., etc. ; "said ten acres of Land was given unto me by the town of Kittery and laid out unto me by ye select men of the town," June 3, 1672, and signed Ephraim Crockett, September 16, 1672. His will is dated July 17, 1688; inventory returned September 10, 1688. His children: 1. Richard; see forward. 2. Ephraim, married Rebecca Frink, March 13, 1728-9. 3. Sarah, married Henry Barter. 4. Mary, named in father's will.
• 2. Joseph, married Hannah .
• 3. Joshua, married Sarah Trickey.
• 4. Hugh, married Margaret; children : Mary, married Earton ;
• 5. Ann, married William Roberts;
• 6. Sarah, married John Parrott.

In 1722 the town of Kittery ordered certain houses made "Defencible in sd town," and Joseph Crockett's was one of the number, and certain families were "to lodge therein" in times of peril for united defence against the Indians.

The first person bearing this surname to appear in New England was Thomas Crockett, who came over in a ship called the Pied Cow, as a servant of Capt. John Mason, the owner of the Piscataqua Plantation, in 1633. According to court dispositions he was born probably in Scotland, as early as 1606. He received of Ambrose Giddons, Mason's agent, 23, where he had "e weeks diet" of John Pickering at a cost of 12 shillings. He received a gift of land from Thomas Georges in 1641. Signed submission of York in 1652. His grant of land was the east side of Spruce Creek in Kittery, since called "Crockett's Neck." He was constable in 1657. Thomas lived at Warehouse Point in Kittery and his lands there were designed at Crockett'a neck, Crockett's Cove, and Crockett's Creeks; the two latter names to the same loccality at high and low water. North of the Neck there was an inlet know as Crockett's Brack Cove. When he died in 1679 his widow, Ann, admimistered on his estate, and was married before 1682 to Diggory Jeffreys of Kittery Point. She was living in 1712. His (Crockett's lands and Crockett's Neck were divided among his sons and sons-in- law. Here, then, we find the Scotchman who became the common progenitor of all who bear his surname in New England, seated by the seaside in "Old Kittery," and we may assume with plausability that he subsisted by using the hoe and fish-hook from 1633-1679, a period of 46 years and up to his age of 73 years. Thomas Crockett had a family of eight children of whom record has been found.
