I am searching for more information on James H. Crocker, born abt. 1824,
spouse Mary Jane Harvey, born GA. I know (from family sources) that they had
the following children who survived to adulthood: Ann (1851), Jacob Thomas
(1853), John (1855), and Will (1857), born in Rome, GA. I know I am missing
one child.

The 1860 Rome, Floyd co., GA census shows J.H. Crocker, carpenter, age 36,
b. SC; wife Jane, age 35, b. GA; children A. female, age 9, GA; J., male,
age 7, GA; John, age 5, GA; and Will, age 3, GA. This sure looks like my
family.

The 1850 Paulding Co. GA census shows a James Crocker, age 25, farmer, b.
SC, illiterate; wife Mary Jane, age 24, b. GA, illiterate; children Jane,
age 3, b. AL; Martha Ann, age 1, b. GA; and William Crocker, age 23, farm
laborer, b. SC. Probably my family, if we assume that Jane did not survive,
and that Martha Ann is the Ann of adulthood. William Crocker looks like a
brother to James.



Land records in the Dardanelle office in Arkansas show homestead entry for
James H. Crocker, July 21, 1879.



1900 Franklin County, AR census shows Mary J. Crocker, widow, age 75, b.
March 1825, mother of 8, 5 living, GA/NC/NC, living with daughter Anna
Smithers, age 49, widowed, no children. Therefore James H. Crocker dead by
1900. Mary Jane Harvey, age 85, still alive at the 1910 census.



Later census for Jacob Thomas Crocker gives GA as birth state for James H.
Crocker.



I have more information for Jacob Thomas Crocker and his sister Ann, who
married Dr. Smithers.

Does anyone have more information for James H. Crocker and Mary Jane Harvey?
Names of their parents? I would appreciate any information. I am the
gg-granddaughter of James H. Crocker and Mary Jane Harvey. No one in my
immediate family has done any research on these Crockers.

Thank you for any help you can provide.
