Many might not know, but Laurin Stroud, our Associate Editor, has ties to Davy Crockett.

Her great-grandfather, Oliver Gibbons, purchased the land outside Rutherford that Rebecca Hawkins Crockett (Davy Crocketts mother) was buried on. In 1956, after Gibbons and others in the town came together and created the replica of the last home of Davy Crockett, Crocketts mother was dug up and moved to the current grave at the cabin.

Laurin currently lives on this land and has a state marker in her front yard.

In honor of Davy Crockett Week, enjoy these throwback articles from the Tri-City Reporter in February and March of 1956.
