Hi I agree with your guess that William H. Criswell's parents are John Criswell and Margaret Burrows. I've only been able to find them linked in census data. I've not found any vital records to support this . 1850 Marshall Co John Criswell 37 OH Margaret 37 OH ... William H N 3 VA 1860 Marshall Co John Criswell 47 OH Margaret 46 OH .... William H 12 VA 1870 William not found with parents 1880 Marshall Co John Criswell 67 OH Margaret 66 OH W H H 30 VA don't know if this is William H, due to the slight difference of age and that there is another listing. 1880 Marshall Co William Criswell 31 VA Susan 33 VA .... 1900 Marshall Co William Crisswell 58 WV Susan 55 WV Shelton S. 13 WV 1910 Census, William and Susan weren't found, but Shelton age 23 was living with Charles M/ Lydick. There are lots of connections between the Criswell, Marple, Lydick and Vanaman families. Sylvia
