Crockett, David
Crockett, David (b. Greene County, Tenn., 17 August 1786; d. San Antonio, Tex., 6 March 1836) “Davy” Crockett served in the Creek War as a militia sergeant. He entered the Tenn. legislature in 1820, became a political enemy of Andrew Jackson, and was elected to Congress for the Whig party in 1827, 1831, and 1833. Upon his final political defeat in 1835, he reportedly told his constituents, “You can go to Hell, I’m going to Texas,” and joined the Texas Revolt. He was among seven Americans murdered in cold blood after surrendering at the Alamo.
