The account is from a Crockett biography by William Ellis published in 1884. Ellis purportedly got the story from a Congressman who'd served with Crockett.

Since Crockett left Congress in 1835, we're looking at an almost 50 year gap.

Pretty unlikely that the story is true, which is a shame. It is beautifully told.

We found some rather interesting records a few years ago HERE:
