I'm looking for any leads or information on this family.
Laymon Crist m Jennie Helm in 1871 in Huntington.
About 1890, Nancy Carter Helm dies, and is reported
to have been living at her daughter's, Mrs Crist, in
Huntington, and is buried from there.
That's it! That's all the information I have ever been
able to find about this family.
I am fairly convinced - as in "why not?" - that Laymon Crist is the
same person as appears in the 1870 census in Huntington Co,
Union Twp: p 221, Dw #166, in the household of
Erias? Dumbolt; age 27: Crist, Laymon,
W, b OH, "works in Blks S Shop".
I am sure this person is on the 1900 census in Huntington:
p 114A, ED80-24 (also 0427)
Huntington city, l 31-32
in the household of Rachel Dumbould (widow, age 59;
listed in 1870 census above btw)
Leyman Crist, b Aug 1844, in OH, m 36? yrs, but no wife
occupation: blacksmith
The Dumbolts appear in the 1880 census in Union Twp,
Huntington. Haven't found Crist yet.
I think "Jennie" Helm was probably also known as
Mary or Maria Jane Helm. Information on this family
is confusing however.
I have recently learned that names like Lyman Crist
occur in Huntington early in the 20th century so I wonder
if there is some connection and anyone knows anything
about this family.
