James was the son of Richard Crockett and Polly Gilbert. His father was born in Sumner, Maine, and his mother was born in Leeds. His parents married in Leeds in 1811. Polly's parents were Hersey and Abigail Gilbert. Hersey (spelled Heirsy on the stone) has a military marker at the nearby Additon cemetery, which was placed in the 1900s. Presumably, both Polly's parents were buried there, and both original gravestones were lost.
The Crockett family appeared in the 1820 Leeds census and the 1830 Greene census. From census records it appears there were at least six children, and that some may have died in childhood. Harriet Crockett and Francina (Crockett) Townsend are buried near James' grandfather Hersey Gilbert at the nearby Additon cemetery. These two young women were the correct ages to fit into the 1820 and 1830 census, and seems very likely to have been be James' younger sisters.
In 1850 James boarded with a family in Turner. It seems likely by that year he had survived his parents and all his siblings.
In 1852, James married Clara (Mitchell) Collier, the widow of Charles Bingley Collier. Clara had no children by either marriage.
James was a farmer. J.M. Crockett appears on the 1858 land ownership map in Greene, just over the border from Leeds. The couple later lived in Turner and Lewiston.
James served in Company A Maine 23 Infantry. He enlisted on September 29, 1862 and was mustered out on July, 15, 1863. This regiment was engaged in guard duty, appears to have seen no action, and all men lost were due to disease.
