He first boarded with his brother ou coming to town; m. Betsey (Elizabeth) Dexter, of Malden, Mass., May, 1806, and lived on the opposite corner (see Sites, honse moved to the present Mr. Hackett's). After practis- ing medicine six or seven years, he exchanged the profession for that of the ministry. In 1816 he moved to Grafton, and was ordained over the Baptist Church in that place; afterwards rem. to Danbury, where he d. June 10, 1842, ae. C8. He was a member of the N. II.

9. JOHN2 [3] (John1), m., 1st, Betsey Jenness, Dec. 11, 1788, who was b. Jan. 9, 1763, and d., of consumption, June 9, 1818, ae. 55-5. He was originally a shoemaker, and the old ledger in which his acconuts were kept and balanced with great accuracy contains the following interesting items in his own handwriting : "John Crockett, Jun., and wife, moved home to Northwood, Feb. 14, 1789 ; lived there till Jan. 14, 1794 ; then moved to Sanbornton, and engaged for one year in the work of the ministry to the Baptist Church of Christ." " I was ordained Sept. 3, 1794. in the 20th year of my age, in the 3d year of my pilgrimage" (alluding to his life after conversion). From a printed sketch of the 1st Baptist Church, written by himself a year or two before his death, we further learn that the April before his removal he first received a letter from the church requesting him to visit them and preach the last Lorit's day in the same mouth. ( The church in Northwood, to which he belonged. had given him a license to preach the gospel in 1792. ) " I came at their request, and preached my first sermon from Isaiah xxxii. 20, . Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation.'" This relation, thus happily formed, was not dis- solved until it pleased the great Head of the Church to call his ser- vant home !

GENEALOGIES. - CROCKETT.
Mr. Crockett was known extensively, and was happy in extending his usefulness as far as his acquaintance. Many now rise up and call him blessed (1833), not only in the town in which he was settled. but in all the surrounding region. IIe was a man that took a very active part in the operations of all public bodies of a religious character. For a number of years he acted as moderator in the meetings of the Meredith Association, and was frequently called to preside in councils and ecclesiastical bodies. Ile was not a man of public edu- cation, but he knew how to prize an education, and was very active in aiding whatever promoted this object. For a long time previous to his death, he was a member of the board of overseers in the New Hampton Institution, and a trustee of the Woodman Sanbornton Academy, to both of which institutions he contributed liberally of his substance. He was a beloved and useful pastor; genial and social, sympathetic, and frequent in his visits among his own people, and in his intercourse with other denominations, kind and prudent. Ile led the church successfully through many seasons of trial, but also of great revival interest, baptizing more than three hundred and forty, who were added to the elmreh during his ministry. Ile officiated at by far a greater number of funerals and marriages (as the t. r. show) than any other clergyman in this town.
About two years before his death, he was much injured in conse- quence of his horse taking fright, on which he was riding. He recor- ered from this injury, however, so far as to. be able to attend to hiis customary pastoral duties until the 1st of June, 1832. During the weck before its first Sabbath, he preached a funeral sermon, and on Friday attended the church meeting preparatory to communion. Ilis " last text," as his gravestone informs us, was Rev. xxi. 7, " Ife that overcometh, shall inherit all things"; after discoursing from which, he administered the Lord's Supper to the church for the last time, being the two hundred and twentieth that he had enjoyed that privilege with the people of his charge. He was immediately attacked with a disease which baffled all medical aid, depriving him a part of the time of the use of his reason, yet leaving him opportunity, in his Ineid moments. to show that his faith in the Saviour remained unfaltering, and that the gospel which he had preached to others was his support in the last conflict. Just before his death, he gave directions respect- ing his funeral services, and sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, Feb. 6, 1833, in the 67th year of his age, and the forty- first of his ministry. The Rev. William Taylor preached his funeral sermon from 2 Tim. iv. 7, 8. He was first publicly mentioned in David Benedict's . General History of the Baptist Denomination," Boston, 1813, p. 500. Ilis home iu this town was ever, after the first year or two, at the Corner,

Ile was a pillar iu the Ist Bap ist Church (over which his father was settled) till his death, Feb. 6, 1869, of cougestion of the lungs, in his 78th year; was accustomed always to hold a meeting on the Sabbath in his beloved house of worship, of which he had the care, even in the absence of a minister; and when no person but himself was present, at the appointed hour he would faithfully go through a short service from the well-worn Bible, which he always carried to the house of God, and sing and pray. llis loss to the society was irreparable. No children. " Wcaried under the pressure of the infirmities of old age, he longed to be absent from the body to be present with the Lord. Ilis wish is realized, and his happy soul has not one hope unanswered." (Gravestone.)

"His very name was appropriate, foreshadowing, as it were, the disposition of his life; for, like Samuel of old, his spirit was, 'Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth'; and, like the gifted Heber, he had devoted himself to the noble task of carrying the gospel to distant lands."

Vernon," was composed by Mr. M., as a tribute to her memory, and the poetry by Rev. S. F. Smith, of Newton Theological Seminary.
"Sister, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening, When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low, Thou no more wilt join our number, Thou no nuoro our songs shalt know."
