The question of which member of the family was the last to survive in a shipwreck which took the lives of all five, led to longest and one of the most remarkable legal contests in Florida's history. The steamboat HOME, sunk by a storm off Hatteras on 09 October 1837, claimed the lives of most of her passengers and crew, including Hardy Bryan Croom, his wife, and three children.
