Searching for the offsprings of William Chronister and Sarah Ford b. abt 1838 AL. Sarah was the daughter of Charles Ford and Iphey Grizzle, the family was living in Reynolds Co., MO in 1850. Thanks

Dear Carla,
Many of the early settlers spelled it without the H. Mine did in NC, but
sometime in the 1800s they put in the h. Evidently your family never did.

Hi Carla
I don't know your Henry Cronister, but the last name has many spellings. It is seen as "Cranester" and even "Kranester" on some of the old documents. Henry was a popular name for the Chronisters. Often you see it as the german "Heinrich". It is my understanding that most if not all Chronisters in the United States (regardless how they spell it) came from Chronister immigrant Johannes Chronister, who was born around 1708 and came in to this country at the port of Philadelphia. Johannes and a great many of his descendants lived in York and Adams Counties in PA, near Gettysburg. Johannes had a son named Henry (Heinrich) who had 17 children, all but 5 living to adulthood. I am descended from one of them.
If you give me some more specific information about your Henry, such as dates and parents if you know them, maybe I can help you. I've been to the cemetery where the immigrant Chronister is buried, and I'd love to share what I know.

I was just wondering if anyone knows about family members who have dropped the H to become Cronister. I am a descendent of Henry Smith Cronister from Berkley County, VA. He migrated to Illinois and married Margaret Robinson. They had 7 children, including my grandfather, Henry Jr. Cronister, in 1913.
Any help would be appreciated.
Carla
