Local Crooker lineage traced to Bath origins amid romantic tale
Henry W. Owen Jr reports on William A. Walter's genealogical work mapping the Crooker family from Francis Crooker born 1622 in Britain to Isaiah Crooker of Bath. The study debunks a long local legend of five Crocker brothers from Scotland and a shipwreck near Seguin. It places the Bath line as the fourth generation in New England with Welsh rather than Scotch roots. Walter lists Isaiah’s descendants and many grandchildren, while noting gaps for Francis’s later moves, possibly to Maine.
