I just uploaded an update to the Crocker master gedcom.
This was a major update, but it still only includes the
southern lines, most of whom are descendants of
Isle of Wight Co. VA Crockers.

Here's what's new:

1) I added the descendants of Edward Crocker of Isle of Wight (son of
the "original Anthony"), which I extracted from "Our Crocker Ancestors"
by James Frances Crocker.

2) The largest addition was data from Maurice Crocker on the descendants of
Drury Crocker, a lot of which comes from the research of Myrtis Parker
Handley, whose papers have been passed on to Maurice. Maurice did not show
parents of Drury but I linked him to the Anthony d. 1796 Isle of Wight,
based on information from John Bennett Boddie's Historical Southern Families
chapter on Crockers of Isle of Wight (pg. 91-96). This Anthony's other son
was Joseph. I disconnected this Anthony d. 1796 Isle of Wight
from William and Katherine, on the assumption that the Anthony d. 1754
Granville Co. NC is the Anthony who was their son. This leaves Anthony
d. 1796 without any known parents. Some of my interpretations could be
wrong; if so, help me straighten it out! [Opinions are welcome, but source
citations make me happy. :) ]

3) Descendants of John son-of-Solomon, as published on World Family Tree CD
Vol 6. Submitted for Big G by Barry, on behalf of Eveline Marie, who
compiled the data and submitted it for publication on the WFT CD. There
were quite a few duplicate individuals with those already present (mostly
mine). I think I merged most of the duplicates but may have missed a few.
-------

I'm getting too many submissions without any source citations at all.
I've given in and included some, but the rule is: any files which do
not include source citations for the majority of the individuals will
be rejected. Exceptions may still be made, but I won't give in so
easy in the future.
