My Crist/Criss people settled in Wood and Wirt Co., WV/VA about 1860. The family (as far back as I've gotten to date) starts with William Crist b. 1818/OH. He married Elizabeth ? b/1829/OH (I believe she may have been full blooded Blackfoot Indian). A WV census says that William's parents were b./PA and Elizabeth's b/OH. I haven't been able to find where in OHIO that this family lived. They had several children in Ohio before moving to WV (where they had several more) William and Elizabeth CRISS/CRIST's children: OHIO BORN CRIST/CRISS CHILDREN: Nancy Ann b. 1844 married Lewis HARDING 1865/Wood Co., WV Sarah M. b. 1851 married J.W.
