Introduction:<\/em><\/strong> In this article, Melissa Davenport Berry gives the 10th<\/sup> part in her series on Mayflower descendants that focuses on Katie Crocker and her family line, again featuring an account book of the Crocker family which covers the years between 1790 and 1843. 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 my series on the Mayflower<\/em> lines of Katie Crocker<\/a> of Barnstable, Massachusetts, which include passengers John Howland, John Tilley, Edward Winslow, Henry Samson, Francis Cooke, Thomas Rogers, and Stephen Hopkins.<\/p>\n

To recap: An account book (1790 through 1843) of the Crocker family contains both residents who descend from the Plymouth Pilgrims and those who married into the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribe. My last story covered some of the historical connection to Mashpee Indian Tribes associated with the Crocker and allied families.<\/p>\n

Here is a page from the account book, settling the estate of Katie\u2019s 5th<\/sup> great grandfather Zenas Crocker, who died in 1807.<\/p>\n

The Cahoon Museum in Cotuit, Massachusetts, has given me permission to share the account book\u2019s pages and further research. You can view this book on Americana-Archives.org<\/a>. So far, I covered Katie\u2019s ancestors Richard Bourne, aka \u201cthe White Sachem,\u201d or \u201cLittle Father,\u201d a missionary that the town of Bourne is named for. Also, the Rev. Gideon Hawley, a minister appointed by the Mashpee Indian tribes. See: Mayflower Descendants: Who\u2019s Who, Part 35 (part 9)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Rev. Hawley came Rev. Phineas Fish<\/a> (1785-1854), the great grandson of Katie\u2019s 7th<\/sup> great grandparents Captain Nathaniel Fish and Mary Tobey.<\/p>\n

Here is a silhouette of Phineas Fish signed by the artist, below the bust on the left, in ink: \u201cDoyle.\u201d To the right of the silhouette, written in pencil is: \u201cTaken in Boston.\u201d<\/p>\n
