Virginia, I have not been able to find anything on your John Crystal. Sorry
I couldn't help. Thanks for the invite back to L.A. but one of the reasons I
left there is because there is no snow. I think this winter I'll be eating
those words. I also left L.A. because the Navy didn't want me in my home
state and put me in just about every other East coast state. I retired to
Indiana after 22 years in the Navy because I didn't want to be anywhere near
any ocean and, as I have lived in many states and a few different countries,
I've yet to be in a place that is more friendly and relaxing then in
Indiana.
Again, sorry I couldn't help you but I'll keep an eye out for John.

Brian Smead - Oh joy! The ancestor I am looking for in Parke or Vigo
is:
John
Crystal who died about 1843......Lived I think in Union township on
land
purchased by this father-in-law - Benjamin Baldwin of KY
Widow Hannah Baldwin Crystal moved on with a son to Iowa after John died.
If
there are other Crystals there - please let me know......Brian - dig
out
of the
snow and come back to LA - it is going to be 70 tomorrow! Virginia
