I am looking for information on Nathan Crissey. He is listed on the 1810 census in Bedford, Westchester, NY. It shows 2 males under 10, 1 male 26 to 45 and 1 female 26 to 45. It is my understanding the Crissey family came from Connecticut. I found a Nathaniel Crissey listed on the 1800 census in Stamford, Fairfield, CT. It shows 1 male under 10, 1 male over 45 and 1 female over 45. I know I am way out on a limb with this but I have an Alexander Crissey born 1812. Now as I understand it there was a traditional naming pattern, first son named after mother's father and second son named after father's father. Alexander's first two sons were Alva and Nathaniel. Nathaniel seems to fit and Alexander married Elizabeth in Dutchess County. On checking Dutchess County there is only 1 Alva, Alva Trobridge. Which would also seem to fit with Alexander's oldest son. Please, I would appreciate someone proving I am right or grasping a straws. Please reply here or directly to mbacon3@cfl.rr.com Marty
