Jacob Crist was born in Pennsylvania, probably about 1815. (see note, below, about the gravestone.) In 1840 he is in Londonderry Twp., Lebanon Co., PA as a male of 20 yrs. (name spelled Jacob Christ) but under 30 yrs. old. With him are a female of the same age (probably Mary) and a male under the age of 5 (most likely Adam, b. Oct. 1838.) A daughter, Susanna (Susan) was born Oct. 1841 in Middletown, Dauphin Co., PA.
Sometime between 1840 and 1850, the Crists migrated to Michigan, passing through Tuscarawas Co., OH where their daughter Mary was born in May, 1845. Jacob J. (perhaps Jacob Jonathan) was born in Nov. 1847 in either Ohio or Michigan.
In 1850, the family is in LaSalle Twp., Monroe Co., MI. The ages of Jacob & Mary in this census reflect birth years of 1807. However, in the 1860 census (Whiteford Twp., Monroe Co., MI where Jacob was farming) their ages show them born about 1815. The 1870 census (still in Whiteford Twp.) shows them born about 1806 again.
By the time of the 1880 census, Mary Hahn Crist has passed away, and Jacob is living with his daughter, Mary, in Deerfield, Lenawee Co., MI and is said to be 74 years old.
Note about the gravestone: This gravestone is not a contemporary style to either 1877 or 1881. It is a later style, dating to 1900 or later. Whoever ordered it and chose the inscription did so at least 20 years after the Crists died and the dates are not strictly accurate.
