Jenner, Bertha Crockett

The Bacon, Crockett, and Donovan families were some of the early settlers in the mid to late 1800s in the Puget Sound area, including present-day Bellingham and Whidbey Island. Frances Bacon Roberts is a descendent of the Crockett and Donovan families who came to Puget Sound in the early 1850s and 1873, respectively. Born in 1907, Roberts grew up in Bellingham, attended the University of Oregon, and then taught for one year. She married in 1934 and then worked as an Employment Service interviewer. She wrote "The Crocketts, the Donovans and Their Times: A History of Two Pioneer Families" sometime after 1972.

Bertha Crockett Jenner grew up in Seattle and married Ernest Jenner in 1901. She spent many summers of her youth on Whidbey Island with her grandmother and extended family where she heard many of the stories of her family related in "Over Uncertain Trails," written in 1940.
