He immigrated to America about 1715 and was married to Esther Thompson, daughter of Rev. John Thompson. Tradition has it that when Samuel, about 20 years old was aboard the ship that brought him to America, he met Reverend John Thompson who was also a passenger. Samuel told Reverend Thompson that he would wait for his daughter, Esther, to grow up and then marry her if the Reverend would give permission. Reverend Thompson laughingly gave his consent, never dreaming the young man would wait. Esther was about 40 years old when Samuel died and he is referred to as an "old man" in 1749. His will was dated 11 Dec 1749 and probated 22 May 1750. He died in late December 1749 or early 1750 and referred to as an "old man".(Henry Ancestors) Will of Samuel Crockett From Chalkley's: Will Book 1, page 232 - - 11th December, 1749. Saml.

Elizabeth had two sons, James and Joseph, who sold land to Samuel Crockett. Samuel and Elizabeth Young-Crockett had only one son, Silas, who married Jane Offield, daughter of neighbor, Lewis Offield. They apparently had no children that lived to maturity, although William, age 7, was living in the household of Silas, age 61, and Jane, age 49, in the 1850 census. Silas was dead before 1860 and the census shows Jane, aged 59, living with Daniel Offield, age 23. The census shows no Howard family in 1850 or 1860, but the 1870 census lists one Howard family in Sullivan County, which were black, living near Jane Crockett. In 1870, Jane Crockett is 65 and living with William Offield, age 50, George Kets, age 16, and James Howard, age 33 (black). Jane Offield Crockett left 1/3 interest in 213 acres left her by her late husband, Silas, and 1/3 of 434 acres conveyed to her by her father, Lewis Offield, to James Offield and James Howard. Presumably the Howard family were slaves, since they were not listed in the census of 1850 and 1860, and Melvina may have been the wife of James Howard. The other graves in the cemetery may have been of the Howard family.
