Lee thanks a bunch for this
We are getting closer to hopefully identifying my Elusive Eli Crockett
I want to run a theory by the list
I know for a true fact that
Eli Crockett married Martha Durdin aka Patsy Durdino in St Tammany Parish on 27 Mar 1813
I know for a Fact she is the Daughter of RW Soldier John Durdino aka Durdin who was b in 1761/1762 Dobbs Co NC and filed for a RW Pension 15 OCt 1832 Simpson Co MS
Eli and Martha had the following 3 know proven children
1) Sarah Crockett b abt 1822 LA d after Dec 1863 but before 1870 poss Jasper or Newton Co TX (Still working on her) married 1) Daniel Mallett Lowe 23 jan 1836 Rankin Co MS daniel died ca 1853 Jasper Co TX Sarah married 2) Benjamin Richardson 6 mar 1853 Jasper Co TX
Ben dies in CW on 4 Jun 1864 Beaumont of disease
Sarah files papers for estate and last distrubition of estate Dec 1864 Jasper co TX

I have often wondered if this Leonard Crockett is actually Elusive Eli Crockett using a different name
Andrew D Crockett named his first son Leonard Louis Crockett
then Leonard list in his bible a child L E Crockett who 25 Dec 1894/1896 (year hard to read) d 20 May 1897
We dont know if this child was male or female but have speculated it might be a male named Leonard Eli Crockett
Tell me what you think?
