															This cemetery is 
															actually in 
															Limestone County, 
															Alabama, but at one 
															time before 1817 
															this would have been 
															a part of Madison Co 
															AL and even in 
															earlier times a part 
															of the Mississippi 
															Territory. Also this 
															cemetery is  
															associated with the 
															oldest white 
															settlers in Alabama 
															though the marked 
															burials are not as 
															such. These folks 
															probably floated 
															down the Tennessee 
															River from NC to get 
															here and walked up 
															the old Mooresville 
															(northbound) Trail, 
															a few miles to the 
															west of this 
															cemetery.
														
															These so called 
															descendants of Adam 
															Clem did not move. 
															Limestone County 
															Alabama was formed 
															about 1815 to 1820 
															(don't remember 
															exact time) so that 
															is why Madison Co 
															and Limestone Co are 
															both mentioned 
															below.

 We are searching for information pertaining to the CLEM and 
																CROCKETT 
																families circa 
																1784 in Georgia.

																

																Adam Clem 
																married circa 
																1784 to Jemima 
																CROCKETT...they 
																were in Elbert 
																County, GA 1790, 
																Burke County, NC 
																1800, Bedford 
																county, TN 1810, 
																and bought land 
																September 18ll 
																in Madison 
																County, Alabama.
																

																

																In 1805 Adam 
																Clem was in 
																Burke County, NC 
																tax list, Capt. 
																Armstrong's 
																Company, with 
																140 acres...

																

																Descendants of 
																Adam Clem and 
																Jemima Crockett 
																were later in 
																Limestone 
																County, Alabama, 
																which adjoins 
																Giles County, TN 
																to the north 
																where in 1830 a 
																Robert CROCKETT 
																and Archibald 
																Crockett, 
																probably 
																relatives of 
																Col. David 
																"Davey" 
																Crockett, were 
																residing.  

																
																
																(but not that 
																close, maybe as 
																close as having 
																common great 
																grandfathers in 
																Ireland, 
																Virginia or NC)

																

																Any info on the 
																Crockett family 
																in Georgia which 
																may help us 
																determine 
																Jemima's 
																parentage will 
																be greatly 
																appreciated.

																

																Archibald 
																Crockett b. 1774 
																had a daughter 
																named Jemima who 
																married Jacob 
																Cochran in Giles 
																County, TN,
																
																and died in Polk 
																Co MO 1865,  
																but this is a 
																different Jemima 
																Crockett. 
																Perhaps the 
																above mentioned 
																Jemima is a daughter 
																of the Archibald 
																Crockett of Va & 
																Mecklenburg Co 
																NC who is 
																thought to be 
																the grandfather 
																of Archibald 
																Crockett of 
																Giles Co. Tn. 
																However the 
																above mentioned 
																Jemima might be 
																the same Jemima 
																as the one who 
																married John 
																Bevins in 1779. 
																OK where is the 
																proof, but is 
																there three 
																Jemima 
																Crocketts'? Anyone?

																
																

																Thanks,
