Dear List Members,
Some of you may have seen our queries before but we have just obtained new
information that may or may not have any bearing on our search.
We are the CROCKETTs that are researching 'James ASHER CROCKETT'. Asher
served in the Revolution for two terms. He states in his pension
application that he was born in Hampshire County VA in 1760. When he was
about 16 years old he ran away from his cruel master and enlisted in the
army.
Instead of writing all of this again will quote from various sources:

"Does Asher CROCKETT have connections in Hampshire Co, VA where he was born?
Who were his parents ANDERSON or CROCKETT? He had an alias name, why did he
use the name Asher CROCKETT or James ANDERSON? His parents were possibly
dead at that time before the revolution, said he was bound by his master in
his declaration for rev. pension when he left western VA to join the army.
Some of this info was obtain from a bible record.

1st term as camp boy. Ca. 1778 returned to Hampshire Co, VA learns of former
master getting him back he returned to the army again until he was
discharged in 1781.
Some children were mentioned on pension application Andrew Jackson (should
be JOHNSON) CROCKETT, Sylvester (actually son of Andrew J.) CROCKETT, Nancy,
others. (Note: Asher and Sarah had five children: Peter m. Nancy
Garrett - they moved west to Shawnee Territory in Kansas; Mary possibly m.
a MILLER in KY; Charlotte m. Edward MILLER; Elizabeth m. Joseph KELLEY;
and Andrew Johnson m. Eliza Blankenship.)
John Henry (I think this was WESLEY) CROCKETT s/o Andrew Jackson CROCKETT,
b. ca 1830 m. Polly STAFFORD. John served in the Union army during the
Civil War from Wayne Co. VA(WV). He had a brother I think James in the
Confederate army.

Patriot Minorities at the Battle of Cowpens
How many minorities were at the Battle of Cowpens?
A diverse group of individuals met on the field of battle on a bitterly cold
Wednesday morning, January 17, 1781. Of the more than two thousand men who
fought this battle, the National Park Service can document fifteen black
males who fought with the Americans. In addition, there is one famous black
male who the NPS cannot document.
Who were the known minorities in the Battle of Cowpens?
The names of minorities that the National Park Service can document at the
Battle of Cowpens are as follows: James Anderson (or Asher Crockett), Julius
Cesar, Lemerick Farr, Andrew Ferguson, Fortune Freeman, Gideon Griffen,
Morgan Griffen, Drury Harris, Edward Harris, Allen Jeffers, Berry Jeffers,
Osborne Jeffers, Andrew Peeleg, Dick Pickens, and Record Primes (or Primus
Record.)
Is any additional information available on these people?
There is not a lot of additional information available on most of the
minorities. However, the information available is interesting.
James Anderson or Asher Crockett ran away from his master in 1776 and joined
General Washington's army, remaining with it for two years as a camp boy and
waiter. He then returned to Hampshire County, Virginia, where his old master
attempted to reclaim him. In order to avoid that fate, he rejoined the army
as a substitute for someone who had been drafted. At Hillsborough, North
Carolina, he came down with smallpox. His unit left him behind when the
departed. After his recovery, he returned to fight at Hanging Rock, South
Carolina. In his pension record, he stated that he was on the field at
Camden and was a witness to the mortal wounding of Baron de Kalb. He was in
the battles of both Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse. He stayed behind at
Guilford with the sick and then joined General Lafayette and was present at
Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown, Virginia. After Yorktown, he marched with
the baggage to Winchester, Virginia. Under Captain Fitzpatrick, he guarded
the magazine and public stores at Powhatan Courthouse. After the war ended,
he was under the command of General Clark in Kentucky. Anderson (or
Crockett) married Sarah Blankenship from Giles County, Virginia in September
1800. He filed for a pension on November 26, 1832.

SO-O-o-o:
My question now is: does anyone on this list have any information on a
CROCKETT family that would have been living in Hampshire County in 1760
through 1776 that might have had slaves??
Was ASHER a slave?? We have always just assumed (for the last 25 yrs.)
that he was bound out to learn a trade or that he was an orphan.
Since finding this latest information about the 'Battle of Cowpens' I'm
beginning to wonder if this is why he has been such a 'BRICKWALL'.
Was he a slave?? a free person of color?? mulatto?? Melungeon??
If anyone out there has any information that could be of help to us or any
ideas of where to search next OR if this is your family - would love to
hear from you.
