ABRAHAM CRIST, a native of Perry County, was born December 12 1844, and is
one of a family of seven sons and three daughters born to Hiram and Louisa
(Hiley) Crist, also natives of this county, where they passed their lives
upon a farm in Tobin Township. The mother died about 1855 and the father May
9, 1871. Abraham was reared at home and received a common school education.
While yet a boy ony seventeen years old, he enlisted, July 28, 1862, in
Company M, Eighth Regiment Kentucky Cavalry. He participated in numerous
skirmishes, but his principal duty waas in guarding forts. September 17,
1863, owing to ill-health, he was discharged at Lebanon, Ky., and he returned
home. He soon recuperated sufficiently to re-enter the service, which he did,
by enlisting in Company I, One Hundred and Forty-fourth Indiana Volunteer
Infantry, February 15, 1865. He served with this regiment until discharged
August 5, of the same year. September 30, 1866, he was united in marriage
with Sarah E. Mosby, a daughter of Charles A. and Jane Mosby. He has since
been engaged in farming in Tobin Township. In 1874 he bought fifty-three
acres upon which he now resides, and to which he has added eighty acres. He
is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and of the Universalist Church, of
which his wife is also a member. He has two children now living: Charles
Albert and Eva May.

Seek info. Mary born 1813 in Clark Co., Ind. Married John A Cummins in Clay Co., Ind around 1840. Her mother's maiden name was Taylor and from Ohio. Thanks. Pam Dickinson

The 1900 Jasper County, Missouri Census shows
Hattie L. Criss living in the home of Wilson Doty and wife Rosetta P. It says
she is the step daughter of this Doty fellow. I am assuming then she is the
daughter of Rosetta.
Does anyone recognize Hattie or know anything about her?
