Davy Crockett

David "Davy" Crockett was a nineteenth century American society legend, frontiersman, officer, and government official. He is ordinarily alluded to in pop culture by the sobriquet "Ruler of the Wild Frontier". He spoke to Tennessee in the U.S. Place of Representatives and worked in the Texas Revolution.

He was born in Frederick County, in Virginia, in 1753. During the American Revolution he fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain as a part of the Overmountain Men. When John was serving in the army in 1777, when his parents, Elizabeth and David, were murdered in their home near Creeks and Chickamauga Cherokees by the chief, Dragging Canoe. John's sibling Joseph was injured in the conflict. He wedded Rebecca Hawkins in the year 1780. They named their son David, after his father, who was born on 17 August, 1786.

The family shifted to Mossy Creek in Jefferson County in 1792. In 1795, John lost his house due to financial problems and had to shift his family to a plot owned by a John Canady. He then constructed a tavern in Morristown. David and Margaret Elder had a contract marriage on 21st Ocober, 1805. Crockett had personal feelings for Amy Summer, John Canady's niece, who was distracted by him because of her prior engagement to Canady's child, Robert. He influenced Margaret Elder who met him in wedding party, to wed him, and thus a formal marriage contract was signed between them on October 21, 1805.

Margaret had likewise ended up connected with another fellow in the meantime and wedded him instead. At a harvest meet-up, he met Polly Finley and also her mother Jean. Although benevolent towards him before all else, Jean Finley inevitably felt that Crockett was actually not well-suited for her young daughter. He orchestrated an equity of peace and hence brought out a marriage permit on the day of August 12, 1806. On August 16, John went to see Polly at her home along with his family and companions, resolved to run away with Polly to be hitched somewhere else. Polly's dad begged Crockett to conduct the wedding at their Finley home. Crockett concurred when Jean said sorry for having treated him badly earlier.

Myth Busters explored a story of Crockett’s wherein he managed to stick an axe into the trunk of a tree, fire the long rifle from 40 yards away so that it may hit the edge so closely that the bullet may split in two.
