Rebecca Ann 'Becky' Drewer1
F, b. circa 1837, d. 10 June 1902
| Birth* | circa 1837 | Rebecca was born circa 1837 at Baltimore, MD.1 |
| Biography* | | Rebecca's first marriage record indicated that she was the daughter of Susan Drewer and was born in Baltimore, MD. This is consistent with her brother's death certificate, which indicated that he was the son of John Drewer and Susan Simpson and was born in Baltimore, MD. In 1850, Rebecca, age 13, and her brother, John, age 9, were both living on Saxis with their step-father, William Russell, age 30, in the household (HH#793) of Gillet Marshall and his wife Henny. Also living in the household were William Russell, Jr., age 15, and two Marshall children, Samuel J., age 5 and Virginia E., age 2 months. In 1860 she was living on Saxis in the household (HH#378) of Severn P. Miles and his wife Hestor Ann. She was first married in 1861, but her husband, Severn James Crockett, Sr., evidently had died before the 1870 Census, because the 1870 Census showed her living on Saxis in the household (HH#384) of her brother John W. Drewer. Her daughter, Margaret A. Crockett, and her son, Severn J. Crockett, Jr, listed as "Levin," were both living with their grandfather, George Crockett, in 1870. Her second marriage was to William T. Crockett, her brother-in-law, in 1873, but evidently he had died by the 1880 Census, because Rebecca is listed as the head of a household (HH#326) and widowed. Her son Severn, age 16, an oysterman, was living with her. In the later part of her life she lived in the little house behind her son's home and general store on Saxis. Mrs. Rebecca Crockett, aged 65 years and widow of William Crockett, died Tuesday, 10 Jun 1902 at her home on Saxis of heart trouble (Pen. Ent., 14 Jun 1902). Although she died in 1902, she was not listed in the 1900 Census on Saxis and her grave is not marked by a tombstone. In an interview in the winter of 1977, Mrs. Lovie (Bonawell) Marshall (1891-1981), age 85 at the time of the interview and age 11 at the time of Rebecca's death, related the following about "Aunt Becky" to Kathryn (Drewer) Miles and her son M.K. "Aunt Becky didn't have it very good, I'll tell you. Her little house didn't have no upstairs to it and it just had cardboard inside. Didn't have no ceiling and it was papered with heavy cardboard inside. There never was one any better than she was. I loved her, I never knew the love of a grandmother, but I loved her like a grandmother, and she loved me. She taken to me and when she died I thought I would go crazy. I was round about, I guess, 12 years old. And I cried night and day, I snubbed myself to sleep. Mama would say sometimes, Lovie, I believe you loved Aunt Becky better than you did me. I said, Mom, no I don't. When I was up to Stella's, she was cooking, if it was fish or vegetable soup, she would always take mine out and put in that cupboard and look at me and nod her head. She's buried in the Ellis Cemetery. Now there may be a tomb there to her grave, I couldn't tell you that. As you go down that lane by Lena Glenn's, she's buried on this side, facing the outlet. But she was a beloved person by everybody." |
