Joyce, glad I could help even if it is just a bit. My line is Abraham Chriss
b: 1780 Penn, & d: about 1866 Indiana he married Catherine Ann Unknown b: abt
1784 & d: April 1865 Indiana, they had a son Abraham Chriss Jr. b: 1822 & d:
abt 1860 he married 1842 in Indiana to Catherine Ann Anspach b: 1826 & d:
1899. I do not know who the first Abrahams parents were so kind of stuck
there.
Other children of the first Abraham Chriss and Catherine Ann Unknown are:
George, Mary, Sarah, William, Henry, John, Elisha and of course Abraham Jr
mentioned above. Now census records and court probates show that Henry, John
and Elisha were of unsound mind as well as their mother. I have information
on Abraham Jr. I have information on George, Mary, Sarah, William & Abraham
Jr.

Tonya,
Thanks for sharing all the Christ genealogical tidbits. I recognize one of the names below. Johan Christ and wife
Susanna had Anna Maria b. 7/4/1793 Sp: William Kop
>From the same records:
Jacob Christ and wife Elizabeth had Sara 12/7/1801 Sp: Joh. Christ and Susanna
I believe that Anna Maria is the d/o John Christ and his wife Susanna Kopp. I believe that Sara is the d/o Jacob
Christ and his wife Elizabeth Baer. John and Jacob are brothers and are sons of Michael Christ and Susanna Bishop of
Exeter Twp., Berks County. I think that Jacob is my ancestor. He may have married Catharina Ludwig 4/8/1792 and had a
son Johannes 9/8/1799. He married Elizabeth Baer 11/23/1800 and had daus. Susanna 11/6/1804 and Sara. Susanna was my
ancestor. Elizabeth Baer Christ died 12/26/1804 and Jacob married Hanna nee Ehrgut (widow of William Bland or
Plannir) 6/25/1805. They had George b. ca 4/22/1808 d. 11/17/1808. I would like to share information with anyone
knowing anything about the above-mentioned individuals.

Okay from the 1899 Obituaries Taken from the Semi-Weekly Republican Newspaper
was Published Twice Weekly on Tuesday and Friday
Tue - 29 Aug
Name: Mrs. Catherine (Anspach) Criss
Age: 72 years & 11 months
Died: Thursday August 24, 1899 Shelby Twp. at home of daughter Mrs. Tobias
Worland
Born: Middletown, Ohio
Married: Abraham Criss October 26, 1842
he died 1880
4 daughters, 1 son, 4 brothers & 1 sister survive
funeral at German Chapel, Decatur County
Buried: Shelbyville
Now there is a slight problem. It says her husband died in 1880. Several
other researchers say that also. Heres the thing The 1870 census doesn't show
him in the household. Doesnt mean he's dead but he certainly wasnt with his
family.
1. Mike Spaulding shows death as 1880
2. Yvonne White shows about 1866-1870
3. 1870 Adams Township, Decatur County, Indiana Census does not show Abraham,
only Catherine and her two remaining daughters.
3. Letter from Jack McDaniel to Sue Hunt dtd Jan 14, 1993 he says On the farm
where Oscar Garrett lived when he was hung, there is a small cemetery that I
have examined and found two stones. which shows date of death as May 8, 1860
So I lean more toward the 1860 date, which means he died before his father.
The stone and the census are what lead me to agree more with the 1860 date,
unless the stone reading was wrong and it should read 1880?

Okay this was on the news tonight thought you all might want to know in case
some of your ancestors came through here.
Tracking ancestors who entered the country through Ellis Island just got much
easier. V: People viewing Ellis Island immagrant wall. Today Ellis Island
officials and the Morman Church introduced a new data base containing arrival
records for the 22 million immigrants who entered New York from 1892 to 1924.

In the Early Pennsylvania Births book it lists
Charter Members, Christ Lutheran Church, Strouchsburg, Berks Co., PA
Christ, J. Adam
Christ, M. Catherine
(Probably Husband and wife, but could be brother and sister, most likely the
first though, I would think)
Hope this helps someone
In the Central Pennsylvania Marriages 1700-1896 book
under Marriages of Union County, Pennsylvania (1795-1829) it lists
8/11/1829 Christ, L.B. to Esther Bogar
Hope this helps someone.
