Information gleaned from various sources that may be
of interest to those researching Crists.
Gilbert Crist was christened 20 Apr 1800 at the
Presbyterian Church at Good Will, Orange co., NY. His parents were listed as John and Mary

christened on 10 Jun 1804, but no name is listed. (information from a CD on
Early New York Settlers)
Page 125.-- In the name of God,
Amen. I, STEPHANUS CRIST, tavern keeper,
in Hanover Precinct, Ulster County, being in ordinary health. "I positively order and will, that my
wife, Eve Crist, while she remains my widow, shall be sole mistress and manager
of my house and children and estate till my children are of age. If she married she is to have her bed with
its furniture and 'Jean' the negro wench."
I leave to my eldest son, Daniel my whole fast estate, wagons, and
horses, but with no power to sell, and it shall devolve, if God should call him
off by death, to his next brother. I also leave him a little furniture, and a
cow and œ 25, when the heir comes of
age. I leave to my son Fredereick, when
of age œ 50. I leave to my sons, Christian, Simeon, and
Jonathan, œ 50, and they are to stay on the farm unless they choose trades.

From
Web Page- Full Context of New York City Wills, 1771-1776,
In 1806-07 a number of citizens from
Montgomery, Orange County, New York, came by the way of Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh),
and Columbia, and settled around this point, as a good place for trade and
farming. Among these were Jaeob and Cranmer Felton, Cornelius Snide,
grandfather of James Snider; John Z. Weller, Nathaniel Terwilliger, Joseph
Taulman, H. Crist, Jacob Room, and others.
Coming from Montgomery, they naturally named the new place in honor of
their old home.
In 1810 a company of these men was organized for the
purpose of erecting and running a grist mill.
Some of the names were Elliott, Crist, Snide, and Seam—the latter was
the millwright. Soon after commencing
business in the mill they opened a store on the corner now occupied by Mr. R.
Parrott.
