William Crockett
William Crockett settled the Jerry Beaty farm across the river from Boatland.
David Beaty bought his improvements and lived there over a
hundred years ago. Crockett was an uncle of David, George and John Beaty, mentioned in the
history of the Bowden family, and a great-great uncle of Hen. C.
Beaty, and an uncle of the famous Davy Crockett. It is said that Davy Crockett spent a
winter in a beach flat near Boatland on his way to West
Tennessee.
