I checked the census index on the Criss- Crist listings in the 1840-Brooke, 1850-1880 Hancock census & don't see any listings of the surname sorry. There were early Criswell names? Also checked the West Va Estate settlements for the name & found nothing in Ohio or Brooke Co listings. Hope this helps in your search. Happy Trails, Kim I'm looking for early McConnells 1820's in the area.
