CONC otland, the Ragman Rolls, The Hearth Rolls, the Doomsday Book, paris
CONC h cartularies, baptismal's, and tax rolls. The first record of the nam
CONC e Crockett was found in Lanarkshire, Scotland where they had been seat
CONC ed since very ancient times. Different spellings of the name were foun
CONC d in the archives researched, typically linking each alternate to th
CONC e root source of the surname. The surname Crockett, occurred in many r
CONC eferences from time to time the surname was spelt Crock et. These chan
CONC ges in spelling frequently occurred, even between father and son. Scri
CONC bes and church officials recorded the name from its sound. The famil
CONC y name Crockett is believed to be descended originally from the Strath
CONC clyde Britons. This ancient founding race of the north were a mixtur
CONC e of Gaelic/Celts whose original territories ranged from Lancashire i
CONC n the south, northward to the south bank of the River Clyde in Scotlan
CONC d. Tracing its ancient development, the name Crockett was found in Lan
CONC arkshire. The name Crockett descends from the Crockett's of Kilbride
CONC , in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The name was first recorded in in the yea
CONC r 1296, when Huwe Croket of Kameslank (Cambusland), and Sir William Cr
CONC ockett rendered homage to King Edward I of England. William's seal rea
CONC d "S' Will' Crokitta". The family became deeply involved with the Doug
CONC las Clan. Andrew Crokat, was Sir James Douglas' chaplain, and one of t
CONC he executors of his estate. There was also in Edinburgh, during the se
CONC venteenth century, a wealthy family of the name Crockat. Notable among
CONC st the family at this time was Crockett of Lanarkshire. By the year 10
CONC 00 A.D., border life was in turmoil. In 1246, six Chiefs from the Scot
CONC tish side and six from the English side met at Carlisle and produce
CONC d a set of laws governing all the Border Clans. These were unlike an
CONC y laws prevailing in England or Scotland or, for that matter, anywher
CONC e else in the world. In 1603, the unified English and Scottish crown
CONC s under James I dispersed these "unruly border clans", clans which ha
CONC d served loyally in the defense of each side. The unification of the g
CONC overnments was threatened and it was imperative that the old "border c
CONC ode" should be broken up. Hence, the Border Clans were banished to Eng
CONC land, northern Scotland and Ireland. Some were outlawed directly to Ir
CONC eland, the Colonies and the New World. Many Border Clans settled in No
CONC rthern Ireland, transferred between 1650 and 1700 with grants of lan
CONC d provided they "undertook" to remain Protestant. Hence they became kn
CONC own as the "Undertakers". Many became proudly Irish. There is no recor
CONC d of the family migrating to Ireland, but this does not preclude the p
CONC ossibility of individual migration to that country. Life in Ireland wa
CONC s not very rewarding and many Crockett families sought a more challeng
CONC ing life. They looked to the New World and sailed aboard the "White Sa
CONC ils", an armada of sailing ships such as the Hector, the Rambler, an
CONC d the Dove which struggled across the stormy Atlantic. Some ships los
CONC t thirty or or forty percent of their passenger list. Migrants were of
CONC ten buried at sea having died from dysentery, cholera, small pox, an
