Joseph John Crowell (September 18, 1780 – June 25, 1846) was born in Halifax County, North Carolina. He was educated locally. In the War of 1812, he helped to recruit a regiment and was commissioned as a colonel. He moved to Alabama in 1815, serving as Congressional Delegate from the Alabama Territory. In the election of 1818, he became the first member of the House of Representatives from the new state of Alabama. When he was defeated for reelection in 1820 and his term ended in 1821, President James Monroe appointed him the United States Indian agent to the Creek Indians. This almost certainly means he had a Creek wife; white husbands were coveted. He died at Fort Mitchell, Alabama in 1846.
