  • Notes 
    • Per "Mayflower Increasings" by Susan Roser:
      The following is from the "Genealogical Notes of Barnstable," by Amos Otis, 1888.
      Jonathan Crocker, son of John, owned the land now known as the Bodfish Farm at West Barnstable. He was a substantial farmer, owned a large estate; and, as his father and grand-father had done, he conveyed by deeds a large part of it to his children, reserving only a sufficiency for his comfortable support in his old age. His residence on the Bodfish Farm, probably built by his father, was a two story single house, with a leantoo, or "salt box" as they were sometimes called, on the side. This he sold in 1713 to his son-in-law, Robert Bodfish. It was taken down in 1819, and the old Bodfish mansion house stands on the same spot.

      His will, which is in the hand writing of the Rev. Jonathan Russel, is dated June 1737, and the codicil thereto June 1742, four years after his death. He provides for the support of his wife Thankful, giving her the household goods she brought with her, and some bedding she had made since. He gave his son Isaac L30 and his great chair, names his son James, and James' oldest son, to whom he gave his gun. To the Rev.Jonathan Russell he devised 20 shillings; to the church 20 shillings; and to Mary Dexter then living with him L5. All the rest of his estate, real and personal, to the children of his three daughters, Lydia, Hannah and Reliance.

      In the codicil to his will he gives the estate which has fallen to him by the death of his brother Nataniel, equally, in five shares, to his sons Isaac and James, to the children and heirs of his daughter Lydia Bodfish, deceased, to the children and heirs of his daughter Hannah Fuller, and to the children and heirs of his daughter Reliance Smith, deceased. At the time he made his will all his children, excepting Isaac and James, were dead, and they all resided in Connecticut.

      Jonathan Crocker married for his first wife, 20th May, 1686, Hannah,daughter of Lieut. John Howland. She was the mother of all his children. After her death he married Feb. 1710-11, Thankful, widow of Mr. John Hinckley, Jr. an a daughter of Thomas Troot of Dorchester. He died Aug.24, 1746, aged 84, and is buried in the West Barnstable grave yard. No monuments are erected to the memory of either of his wives.
