Hello listers, My ties to Ellis County are in Waxahachie and Mc Kinney through my grandparents and great grandparents. My great grandfather, Peter T. CRISLER, I have not been able to find his birth/death date. He was married first to a Laura J. (do not know her last name) March 05, 1853, - February 11, 1890. They had two (?) children, Jimmie H. CRISLER, August 02, 1883, - February 03, 1890, and CRISLER, July 09, 1877, - January 21, 1886. All the dates are from their tombstones in the Waxahachie City Cemetery. Peter T. CRISLER married (second) my great grandmother, Laura Sophia NYCUM KENNEDY, Abt. 1864 - Abt. 1944. They had two children, Walter CRISLER and Vera Mae CRISLER. Vera Mae CRISLER, Abt. 1893 - December 28, 1980, married Bolivar TIDWELL, December 09, 1887 - September 1963. P. T. CRISLER was a grocer in Waxahachie and Bolivar TIDWELL was a jeweler and optometrist. Any information on these people would be greatly appreciated as I am not having much luck! Rhanks so much, Denise
