Our main problem in researching our name is the various spellings it has received thru history. My own JOHN CHRISTALL was born 1830 ENGLAND, was in the USA, TEXAS in 1870's and 1880's. As late as 1894 there was a J.A.CHRISTALL listed in the San Antonio Texas directory (probably my John Christall or son) Family legend has it that JOHN CHRISTALL came to Texas out of Canada where his family lived, and that he died in a blizzard hunting (There are no blizzards in Texas) Another clue we have is that HUNTINGTONS DISEASE runs thru our Christall family. Do any of you Christalls have Huntingtons in your line?
I've been doing a bit of research in the census records of various states here as well as a collection of information on the Christall family in Canada.(They carry many spellings)
WILLIAM CHRYSTAL/CHRISTEALL was born abt 1777 England. His burial occurred in Hemmingsford,Huntingdon,Canada before August 20th 1853 when his will was probated in the Montreal District Court. He had sons, GEOGE CHRYSTAL born 1814 London,England who died in Virgil Township,Illinois; son William Chrytal II born 1813 England; and son JOHN CHRYSTAL born Jan 15, 1819 England who died March 20,1904=====================================
In early America there was at least one known CHRISTALL who made the history books..He was a surgeon and a Loyalist to England living in Pennsylvania. 1755-1782. At the Hill Lutherine Church in Derry Township,Dauphin County,Pennsylvania JOHN CHRISTEL, son of James M. Chrisel and wife Catharine was born February 4, 1811., baptised November 24th witnessed by Christina Spring
Anyone with research data on Christalls are welcome to submit to the list, in fact, we look forward to finding any information on the various lines!
