Antoine de Sauss Perronette de Crocketagne
Antoine De Sauss Perronette De /CROCKETAGNE/ Crockett Family of Tennessee by
French and Armstrong.By tradition he was one of the handsomest men in southern France. He drew the personal attention of the King, Louis, by his fine personal appearance and love of duty. The King was eager to retain him in his service and to place him second in command of the household guards. He was given this commission in 1664 when he was 21. It was there that he met, among many of the nobility,the beautiful Louise de Sais in 1669. He then resigned his commission as second in command of the King's household guards, in order to establish a home of his own. It was through the influence of the Maury family who he was working as a commercial agent in the wine and salt trade of Southern France that he was converted to the Protestant faith. It was ordered in 1672 that all heretices, Huguenots, leave the south of France within twenty days. Antoine, with his wife and infant son, Gabrriel, fled across the English Channel and remained in England for a short time but shortly fled to Ireland. To escape there French identity they changed their name to Crockett.
