When was davy crockett born
Davy Crockett was born the fifth of nine children in Greene County, Tennessee to John and Rebecca (Hawkins). John fought in the American Revolutionary War and is credited for teaching Davy rifle and survival skills at an early age.
The Crockett family struggled financially and at the age of twelve, Davy was indentured to Jacob Siler to help pay the family debt. His primary job was tending cattle on a 400-mile trip between Tennessee and Virginia.
One two different occasions, Crockett is asked to work of family debt. The second man was John Canady, with whom Crockett stayed employed for the next four years.
Crockett marries Polly Finley, despite initially proposing to John Canady's daughter who refused him. Davy and Polly have three children, one of which became a U.S. Congressman.
