DescriptionJohn Crocker grave - Glenwood Cemetery - 2014-09-14.jpg |
English: Grave of John Simpson Crocker at Glenwood Cemetery in Washington, D.C., in the United States.
Crocker was born on March 4, 1820, in White Creek, New York. He apprenticed with an attorney in Cambridge, New York, and practiced law there between 1849 and 1859. He married Harriett Gorham Sipperly on June 13, 1843. Crocker was elected to the New York State House of Representatives in 1856. He joined the 30th Regiment New York State Military Forces and was appointed a colonel. He later was promoted to general of the militia. At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Crocker organized a regiment of volunteers at Albany on February 1, 1862. This regiment, the 93rd New York Volunteers, was mustered into the armed forces of the United States in October 1861. Crocker was appointed a Colonel of Volunteers in the U.S. Army. Crocker's regiment was assigned to the Army of the Potomac in March 1862, with one battalion serving as Provost Guard in Washington, D.C. His unit fought in the Battle of Yorktown (April 5 to May 4, 1862), where Crocker was captured. He was imprisoned at Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, and later at Salisbury Prison in North Carolina. He was exchanged for a Confederate officer in August 1862 and returned to duty. Crocker fought in the Battle of Antietam (September 17, 1862) and the Battle of Fredericksburg (December 11–15, 1862). His unit then returned to the District of Columbia, where it did fort and guard duty. His regiment returned to the front lines in time for the Battle of the Wilderness (May 5–7, 1864), where it sustained significant casualties. Crocker's 93rd Volunteers then fought continuosly in all major battles of the Civil War in Virginia, right to Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The regiment fought so well during the Siege of Petersburg that it won a reputation as exceptionally well-trained, efficient, and effective "fighting regiment." It was during the Siege of Petersburg, however, that Crocker was severely wounded. He was mustered out in September 1864 on a disability. He was promoted to brevet Brigadier General on March 13, 1865. Crocker settled in Washington, D.C., after the war. He was elected to the Common Council in 1867 and the Board of Aldermen in 1868. He was named Warden of the District of Columbia Jail in March 1869, and held the position until his death. During this time, Crocker oversaw the execution of Charles J. Guiteau, assassin of President James A. Garfield. Crocker died on September 14, 1890, in Washington, and was buried in Glenwood Cemetery. |
