Movies did not exist during his life.
In the days of Davy, rifles like his were built by individual gunmakers, and so did not have a brand name.
Davy Crockett's parents, John and Rebecca Crockett, died in the early 1800s. John Crockett passed away in 1816, while Rebecca died in 1815. Their deaths occurred during Davy Crockett's early adulthood, influencing his life and experiences as he grew up in Tennessee.
