Similar here. Mine landed at probably Williamsburg, VA about 1700 and moved down through North Carolina to Gallatin, TN. They got ran out of there and somehow got to Opelousas Louisiana. Mine didn't know Crockett but my James D Reeves and Jim Bowie got sideways over a land deal in Louisiana.
Yes sir, big shoes to fill and I ain't man enough.
