Ninth Generation

487. Alexander CRISLER^185,299 was born on 18 September 1851 in Liberty Township, Randolph County, Illinois.¹⁸⁵ He died after 1900 in Randolph County, Illinois.¹⁸⁵ A Few Pioneer Families of Randolph County, Illinois, p 112-113.
John Crisler married Harya Hindman. They were both natives of Kentucky and both came to Randolph County when young. John Crisler [sic - should be John's son Alexander] was a blacksmith in Rockwood precinct and was 15 years old at the death of his father. He aided his mother until her death in 1876. He married Miss Nancy Lowry in 1871. Their children were: John, Clemie, James, Edgar, Byrd and Willis, residing with an aunt in Chester, Ill., and tow deceased. Mrs. Crisler was a daughter of Hugh and Sarah Lowry, who resided in the county for many years.
The father came from Ireland and the mother from Alabama. Mrs. Crisler died May 16, 1886 and July 4, 1888, he married Margaret Lowry, a sister of his first wife. They had a daughter, Sadie, three years old in 1894. When Alexander wrote the above, tradition states that Alexander Crisler was a first cousin to John M. Crisler, son of Rev. Silas Crisler.
After examining the Crisler genealogy and associating dates, etc, we think that Alexander was a first cousin once removed and not a first cousin to John M. Crisler. The double names in the pioneer families give trouble now when some relatives and others would call them by their first name and other relatives called them by their second name, and neither one call them by their full name or give an initial of one of their names. Beyond a reasonable doubt, Alexander Crisler's father was John P. Crisler, son of John Crisler, who was a brother of Rev. Silas Crisler.
