I'm desperately trying to follow up on Crites and Kinder information in "German Speaking People". while making an effort to preserve in some fashion my 57 year collection of records. I keep running into questions that need answers. Peter Kinder m.20 Nov 1804 Lincoln Co., NC to Elizabeth Crites, daughter of Peter Crites, Sr. (not son of Davault). Peter Kinder made a will in August 1813 which was probated in Cape Girardeau Co. in Sept 1813. He makes mention that his wife is to inherit everything and to later divide any residue with their children. He does not mention children's names After much searching I find (what I think) is Elizabeth on the 1830 Madison County census at Marquand with 2 sons 15-20 and one son 20-30. Elizabeth is age 40-50 (b. ca 1880 or shortly thereafter.). At this point I lose this family. If anyone out there is working on Kinders and Crites that can identify them and where they moved too, I would appreciate it. This would be one more needle pulled out of the haystack. Thanks much, Lorena
