Surnames: Crist Helm Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gh.2ADI/5417 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any leads or information on this family. Laymon Crist m Jennie Helm in 1871 in Huntington. About 1890, Nancy Carter Helm dies, and is reported to have been living at her daughter's, Mrs Crist, in Huntington, and is buried from there. That's it! That's all the information I have ever been able to find about this family. I am fairly convinced - as in "why not?" - that Laymon Crist is the same person as appears in the 1870 census in Huntington Co, Union Twp: p 221, Dw #166, in the household of Erias? Dumbolt; age 27: Crist, Laymon, W, b OH, "works in Blks S Shop". I am sure this person is on the 1900 census in Huntington: p 114A, ED80-24 (also 0427) Huntington city, l 31-32 in the household of Rachel Dumbould (widow, age 59; listed in 1870 census above btw) Leyman Crist, b Aug 1844, in OH, m 36? yrs, but no wife occupation: blacksmith The Dumbolts appear in the 1880 census in Union Twp, Huntington. Haven't found Crist yet. I think "Jennie" Helm was probably also known as Mary or Maria Jane Helm. Information on this family is confusing however. I have recently learned that names like Lyman Crist occur in Huntington early in the 20th century so I wonder if there is some connection and anyone knows anything about this family.
