COL. Anthony CROCKETT was one of the earliest and most prominent of
Kentucky pioneers and patriots. He was born in Botetourt County, Va.,
November 19, 1756, and was an early actor in the scenes of the Revolution.
At the age of twenty he entered the war as a private soldier in Capt.
Posey's company for two years. After this term of service expired he was
appointed a lieutenant in 1778, and raised part of Capt. Evans' company,
with which he joined the Virginia troops under Col. George Rogers Clarke,
and in the spring of 1779, and during the summer of the same year, was with
Cols. John Montgomery and George R. Clarke at Vincennes, and while on this
service assisted in taking many of the Indian towns in the West. He was
afterward sent back to Virginia, on the recruiting service, where he
remained until the spring of 1781, when he returned westward, where for a
year he assisted in defending the frontier towns. In 1782 he marched with
Gen. G. R. Clarke against the Piqua Indians on the Great Miami, and
continued in the service until the war of the Revolution closed. After the
war he was active in defending the settlements in Kentucky against the
Indians until hostilities with them had ceased, settling first in Mercer
County, and in Franklin County in 1791. When peace was fully restored he
retired to the cultivation of his farm and the domestic quiet of private
life. But his services were not forgotten by his countrymen; he was twice
chosen as representative from the county of Kentucky to the Legislature of
Virginia. He preferred, however, to public life the occupation of a farmer,
and the participation of those social and domestic ties which he so well
knew how to cultivate and enjoy. But when the late war with Great Britain
was declared we find him again ready for the field and willing to sustain
by arms the independence which his valor had helped to win. He raised a
company of volunteers in 1813, and went to the relief of Vincennes. He
served as a major in Gen. King's brigade under Gen. Harrison and was at the
battle of the Thames. In 1814 he bore an express from Gov. Shelby to Gen.
Harrison then at Detroit, and continued in the service throughout the war.
Throughout these services Col. CROCKETT was a brave and zealous soldier;
he was never known to avoid danger or quail before the advance of a foe. He
was buried with the honors of war at the Franklin Church, and it is worthy
of remark that the brass field-piece, now in the arsenal at Frankfort,
which was used at his burial, he twice assisted in taking from the British.
He aided in taking it at Saratoga; it was afterward surrendered to the
British at Detroit and retaken at the Thames, to which the personal bravery
of Col. CROCKETT much contributed. The incident was an interesting one.
The cannon which by the soldier's arm is wrested from the hands of an
invader, is, half a century afterward, made by his friends to sound a
requiem over his grave. Col. CROCKETT was elected twice a member of the
Kentucky Legislature, 1796-99, and for thirty years as sergeant-at-arms to
the Senate. The Legislature being in session at the time of his death,
December 6, 1838, the event was announced to that body, and resolutions
were entered upon the journals of each house, expressive of the sense of
the two houses at his departure*. But, if we admire the public service of
Col. CROCKETT, his private life was no less calculated to command our
respect and admiration. He was, in every respect, an exemplary and good
citizen. In all the relations of husband, father and neighbor he was
unsurpassed. Industrious, enterprising and useful, he was a fitting
example for all who knew him. His last days were truly his best, for he
had the rare felicity at an advanced age of seeing his numerous progeny
settled around him, and raised to respectability and distinction. There
was mingled with his age much of the sprightliness and buoyancy of youth,
and he had the rare faculty, seldom possessed by old men, of recollecting
that he was once young. The varied events of his life, his personal
difficulties and adventures, all tended to render his conversation
interesting and delightful. Many are those who will recollect the
venerable form that moved among them, adding to the gravity and wisdom of
age the vivacity of younger years and rendering himself the center and
delight of the circle in which he moved. Thus, beloved, respected and
honored, this venerable man yielded to the weight of years and sunk to the
grave. His mortal part is hidden from us, but the recollection of his
character and services is something which the earth cannot hide and the
worm cannot destroy. Col. CROCKETT married Mary Robertson (1760-1818),
daughter of James Robertson, of Augusta County, Va., and aunt of Chief
Justice George Robertson, late of the court of appeals of Kentucky. They
had a family of eleven children, all but three of his sons residing in
Franklin County, Ky. Three sons settled at Murfreesboro, Tenn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*In Senate of Kentucky, December 7, 1838.
Resolved, That the Senate have heard of the death of Col. Anthony
CROCKETT, formerly an officer of this body for many years, with deep
regret, and as a testimonial of their high regard for his valor and
patriotism, displayed in his services in the war of the Revolution and
the late war, his virtues as a citizen, and his upright and correct
deportment as a public officer, they will wear the usual badge of
mourning on the left arm for thirty days.
