Acton State Historic Site .... its the second wife of Davy Crockett. You Texans should be ashamed, when some imported Yankee ( with a native Fort Worth mother, albeit) answered this one first!

BTW, I have never been there.

Her name is Elizabeth Crockett, died Jan 31, 1860.

Correct.
The grave site is in the Acton Cemetary and the graves of Davy Crockett's Wife and 2 children are in the plot which is actually designated as a state park, the smallest in the state and maybe the country since it is about 20 ft by 20 ft.

Davies wife lived until 1860 and his blood line continues in the Acton area which is south of Granburry by a few miles.
