DNA
Participation by descendants of David and Elizabeth in the Crockett Families DNA Project at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Crockett/
has determined David's Crockett family line is not related to the Joseph Louis Crockett family or to any of the five other distinctive, unrelated Crockett family lines that have been identified by these tests.
This Project has revealed that many of the Crockett families French and Armstrong connected in their book, "Notable Southern Families - The Crockett Family" actually are not related.
And at this point in time, there is inadequate documentation to prove which of the Crockett DNA project members, IF ANY, descend from Antoine de Crocketagne.
