Hannah Crocker, d. 1809, Ashford CT, is lsited as a Mayflower Descendant. Is she?

Question

Hey,

When I saw she was possibly a Mayflower descendant I figured a profile for her already existed - nope. Is Hannah Crocker a Mayflower Descendant? She is from Willington, Ct.

This is all from, ''The Whiton family in America : the genealogy of the descendants of Thomas Whiton, 1635'', p.40, by Whiton, Augustus Sherrill, Published by the Whiton Family Association, 1932. Salt Lake City : Digitized by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 2013.

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Hannah's details are here: JHM:3:457 (Blue books). Fifth generation descendant of John Howland.

Answer 2

From findagrave:

Hannah was a Mayflower descendant. Her great great grandparents John & Elizabeth Tilley, and their daughter Elizabeth and her husband John Howland all came over to the USA on the Mayflower. The Howlands' daughter Hope Howland married John Chipman. Their daughter Ruth Chipman married Eleazor Crocker. Their son Eleazor Crocker, Jr. married Judith Sanders. Their daughter was this Hannah Crocker, and she married Elijah Whiton. Hannah was from Willington, Connecticut.

It looks like she should be the daughter of Crocker-634. However, that profile has Eleazer dying in 1724, 5 years before Hannah's birth.

Looks likely that the DOD in Crocker-634 is wrong. Ancestry has a CT church record for a Eleazer and Judith Crocker being admitted to a church in Willington, CT in 1759. His Geni profile says he died in 1776. I can't find a source for that. His wife, Judith, died in Willington on August 26, 1776.

I think I found the problem with Crocker-634's DOD. Mayflower BIrths and Deaths says that Eleazer died AFTER November 19, 1724. He was probably mentioned in his father's estate papers on that date so the author knew he was alive then, but didn't bother tracking him after that.

I fixed up Crocker-634 and connected Hannah to the profiles for her parents, Crocker-634 and Saunders-3003. Her Mayflower lineage is now connected to her in wikitree.
