A native of Tennessee who eventually settled in Texas, Kathryn E. Jones began gathering information on the Crockett family in 1972 when she discovered a close family connection to Tennessee congressman and Alamo hero David Crockett. Her wide-ranging research led to correspondence with other family members around the United States and beyond. In 1984 she published a detailed genealogy of the family, Crockett Cousins, and later issued a supplement. She continued to amass data on the connected Crockett family lines until the late 1990s, when failing eyesight led her to curtail her work.
