I guess that makes us cousins of some sort, my 5th great-grandmother, Elizabeth Hawkins Stonecipher,was first cousin to Davy Crockett on his mother's side.
Earline, there must be a connection there somewhere.
I'm seen some work on cementing the connection between my David to the Alamo Davy, but don't have it in front of me. Will keep looking.
