 John Crockett served under Col. Isaac Shelby in the Battle of King's Mountain, and was a magistrate presiding when Andrew Jackson received his license to practice law. Was also a commissioner of building roads. In 1783 he was a Frontier Ranger. His name appears on the Tax List of Greene Co. NC, now TN, for 1783. In 1786 he lived at Limestone Creek, TN.
  A few years later the family moved to a place in the same country ten miles north of Greenville. John Crockett, who in 1792, lived two miles East of where Morristown, Tennessee, is now located, near Phelps Smith, Richard Thompson and Isaac Martin. John Crockett did not tarry long at the mouth of the Limestone River, after David was born. In fact, David Crockett in 1792, when his father lived two miles out on the Abington road East of Morristown, was a barefooted six year old boy running around the house, probably one of the regular Log cabin type of that day and time. The next move was to Cove Creek, where John and Mr. Thomas Galbraith built a mill in partnership.
  The mill and his house were destroyed by a flood, so he moved to Jefferson Co. Tn and opened a tavern on the road from Abingdon to Knoxville, Davy was then eight years old and remained there until 12. Davy had left home to travel to Front Royal, Va on a cattle drive. From there he went on to Baltimore after being made an offer to drive cattle. He didn't return home until he was fifteen, about 1801 and found John Crockett in debt in the amount of $86.00. Davy worked the debt off and returned to school working for a Quaker, John Kennedy.
  After Davy married Polly Finley he lived with John for several years and then decided to move into a new territory
