Crocker was minister to the Eastham south parish, 1739 to 1772.Marriage Notes (Mary Pemberton)
Pratt's History:
1739. Mr. Joseph Crocker was unanimously called by the church and parish to settle with and over them in the work of the ministry. Mr. Crocker gave his answer in the affirmative, in the following words:
To the Inhabitants of the South Precinct in Eastham, Greeting;
Whereas you did, on the sixteenth day of April last, give me a call to the honorable work of the gospel ministry among you ; and did then signify the same to me by a committee, Joseph Doane, Esq., Deacon Jonathan Higgins, and others ; these may signify to you that I do accept of your call to that work on the terms and conditions following:
I accept of the salary and settlement, as by your vote for my settlement, a suitable dwelling-house built, and a parcel of land procured to set it upon, in some suitable place, such a parcel of land and such a dwelling-house as was built and procured for a settlement for Mr. Osborn and Mr. Webb; and to be given to me and my heirs and assigns forever, except Providence should open a door for my own convenient settling of myself, and then I expect you will be willing to let me have the value of what you have voted for this, in money. (Mr. Crocker was then expecting to marry a lady of the place who owned a house, which he did, and he received the value in money.) And lastly, that while I remain your minister, besides the improvement of all the ministerial lands and meadows, or sedge ground, laid out for the use of the ministry in the southerly part of your precinct, I expect that you will yearly and every year, find, cut, and cart to my door, a sufficient quantity of wood for my own and for my family's yearly use ; also, pay me annually the same salary that is paid to to the Rev. Benjamin Webb, viz. £90.
JOSEPH CROCKER,
Eastham, August 14th, 1739.
Mr. Osborn refusing to give up the ministerial lands and meadows to Mr. Crocker, money was paid out of the treasury to him to enable him in the law to eject Mr. Osborn from the possession of these lands and meadows; and Capt. William Paine was appointed to assist him in this business.
Mr. Crocker was ordained over this church and society September 12th, 1739. He was born in Barnstable, and graduated at Harvard college, in 1734. He was twice married, and had three children.
Josiah, who was graduated at Harvard college, had a call to settle in Yarmouth, but died before the time appointed for his ordination, aged twenty-five years; Lucia married the Rev. Simeon Williams of Weymouth; Ann married the Rev. William Shaw of Marshfield. [the daughters marriages are reversed]
Mr. Crocker was a strict Calvinist, a man of prudence, faithful as a minister, but destitute of popular talents as a speaker; a hard student in theology, but without much information on other subjects; mild in his temper, and affectionate in his manners, and greatly beloved by his people.
Previous to this time, all monies for the support of the gospel in both of the meeting-houses had been raised and paid as their expenses required. It was now unanimously agreed that they should continue for the present to raise the money together, but that the treasurer should keep an exact account of the sums which should be drawn for the use of each precinct, so that, if ever they should be separate parishes, the one which had received the most should refund it to the other.
The Rev. Mr. Crocker died March 2d, 1772, in the fifty-eighth year of his age, and the thirty-third of his ministry.

There is a big problem with this supposed marriage, since the children's definite and likely dates overlap greatly.
