Introduction:<\/em><\/strong> In this article, Melissa Davenport Berry gives the 7th<\/sup> part in her series on Mayflower descendants that focuses on Katie Crocker and her family line, featuring more vintage photographs. Melissa is a genealogist who has a blog, AnceStory Archives<\/a>, and a Facebook group, New England Family Genealogy and History<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today I continue with my series \u201cMayflower Descendants: Who\u2019s Who,\u201d focusing on the lineage of the Crocker family who married into several Mayflower<\/em> lines.<\/p>\n

To recap: I am working with a client, Katie Crocker, daughter of James and Debra Sue (Pemberton) Crocker of Barnstable, Massachusetts, on her family tree. Part of this series explored Katie\u2019s Hinckley lines that married many Mayflower<\/em> scions.<\/p>\n

A photograph collection was sent to me from the archivist at Sturgis Library in Barnstable, contents from the Zenas Crocker Collection MS 167.<\/p>\n

The following subjects all descend from Mayflower<\/em> lines and other notable first families of Cape Cod and are among the cousins who share Katie\u2019s lineage. Besides Mayflower<\/em> passengers there are early settlers like John Gorham<\/a> and the Goodspeed<\/a> family.<\/p>\n

My last story (part 6<\/a>) concluded with a photograph of Warren Hinckley and his 2nd<\/sup> wife Temperance Crosby, daughter of James Crosby and Temperance Goodspeed.<\/p>\n

Warren Hinckley married 1st<\/sup> Caroline Goodspeed, daughter of Asa Goodspeed and Abigail Crocker<\/a>. Their son Gustavus Hinckley (1826-1870) and his wife Caroline \u201cSarah\u201d Lewis (1829-1902), daughter of Levi Lewis and Polly Baker Simmons, are among the portraits featured in the photo collection.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/em> According to sources, Polly Baker Simmons married two more times, to Captain Elisha Hall<\/a> and Joseph Hinckley<\/a>, and had children.<\/p>\n

Gustavus and Caroline had a daughter, Julia Goodspeed Hinckley (1852-1934). Portraits of her and her husband Horace Franklin Hallett Sr. (1846-1900), son of Benjamin Hallett and Adaline Lombard Hamlin, are also found in the collection. Julia was a descendant of Mayflower<\/em> passengers Stephen Hopkins<\/a>, John Tilley, John Howland, and William Brewster, as well as Plymouth Governors Thomas Hinckley<\/a> and Thomas Prence (who married Patience Brewster).<\/p>\n

Their son Horace Franklin Hallett Jr. (1898-1959) married Mary Josephine Crosby (1899-1998), daughter of Ralph Worthington Crosby and Ellen Gazille Robinson, leaving descendants.<\/p>\n

Here is an obituary for Horace Hallett Jr., who died on 25 May 1959, and was buried in the family plot at Oak Park Cemetery in Hyannis, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

It was clear that Horace was beloved by his community and was very active. He was by trade a talented architect, but also served as president of the National Bank and had his own insurance agency.<\/p>\n

In reading this dedication to Mr. Hallett, it is clear he was passionate about preserving his Pilgrim heritage. Here are some key roles he played, as detailed in this obituary:<\/p>\n
