Andrew Crockett [baptized 16 Sept 1747; died ca 1835] m1: Mary (?McKain), m2: Christiana Baker. His father Robert's LW&T was proved in Feb 1747, by the modern calendar, though 1746 by the old style calendar. Andrew remained in VA some years after his older brothers John, Archibald, and Robert. Andrew had moved to Mecklenburg Co, NC, by 1768, for he and John King carried the chains when land on Waxhaw Creek granted in 1768 to John Crockett was surveyed. The Crocketts originally lived just northeast of the Andrew Pickens land on Waxhaw Creek, with John's house just inside what became South Carolina. William King and John McKain were among their neighbors. Archibald, who married William King's daughter Mary Ann King, soon moved northeast a few miles, on Six Mile Creek, and was clearly in NC which is where he made a will. It was at this NC location that Andrew became a neighbor when he was of age. 1770, January 9 (Mecklenburg Co, NC, 7, 265-266): John McKain of Mecklenburg Co, NC, to Andrew Crockett of Augusta Co, VA, for 90 pounds NC money, 140 acres on the west side of Six Mile Creek, adjoining James Potts, William Donolson, James Tate, Brice Millar. Witnessed by Archibald Crocket, John Rea, James Cochran. (1772, Nov 2, Andrew sold this to his brother Archibald.) Andrew probably moved to Tennessee after receiving bounty land from North Carolina for Revolutionary War service. He married a second time, to Christiana Baker, in TN. He made a will in Sullivan Co, TN, dated 26 July 1830 indicating that he had children by both wives. Note: This is probably not the Andrew Crockett said in History of Sullivan County, Tennessee, page 23, to have "brought his family, from Ireland in 1769 and forted at Womack's." in what later became Sullivan Co, TN.
