Lucy Croxton was mentioned in the 12 July 1853 will of her father James Croxton. She was to receive land. [Essex County, Virginia, Will Book 27, pages 579–581.]

In the late 1850s, orator Leonard Henley, executor of the last will and testament of James Croxton who died in March 1856, complained to the Chancery Court. There is an inserted line in this complaint that confuses the document. Implies that the children of James Croxton are Martha the wife of your orator, S. C. Boughan the wife of Ed. R. Boughan, James Croxton, Amanda Croxton, Lucy Croxton and John T. Croxton and Aubrey Croxton a grandson of the testator. Aubrey died prior to the death of his grandfather an infant. The widow Sarah Croxton died in September 1856. [Essex County, Virginia, Box Chancery No. 42, item 42-C-42.]
