To my Southern Crocker cousins:

I hope that y'all will use the attacks on our Southern Heritage as
motivation for renewing your interest in researching our Southern
Crocker
ancestors. I have checked to see how many of the Crockers in upstate SC
owned slaves just prior to the Civil War (1860 Census Slave Schedule).
There was only one woman and she owned one slave. By comparison, there
were about 25 Crocker soldiers that I know of from upstate SC. By rough
count, about 7 dead and 2 wounded.

I have Confederate flags that I will sell at cost and put up on any
Crocker Confederate soldiers' graves in Union, Spartanburg, or Cherokee
counties in SC provided you give me the name and cemetery of your
soldier ancestor (or a brother who has no surviving descendants). The
flags are $1.00 each. Confederate Memorial Day is May 10th and I will
try to get the flags up before then.
