**Margaret and Sarah are not named as such in the will, but it is safe to assume that Patty in the will is Margaret and that Sally is Sarah, since these are commonly used nicknames. Also
named in the will are three grandsons, George Crowscoe or Crousoe, Jacob Reed, and James O'Connor. They, no doubt, are sons of Elizabeth Crousoe, Christina Reed and Catherine Conner. The will was probably written by a lawyer who did not
verify the spelling.

William Crislip, son of Jacob Crislip and Nancy Singer Crislip, was born in 1794 and died in 1847. His wife, Hannah Ward, was born in 1796. Their children were:
Perrygreen (Peregrine) William Turner
Johnson B. Sebia Sarah Ann, married a cousin
Martin Crislip | Drusilla
Hannah (Nutter) Rachel Elma (Thrash), our ancestor
Minerva Susannah |
The Christlieb family originated in Germany. As far as we can learn, they first settled in what is now Barbour County, West Virginia. At the time of the early Crislip pioneers this section was a part of
Harrison County, Virginia. Barbour County was formed in 1843 from sections of Harrison, Randolph and Lewis Counties. Some of the early records am still in the Harrison County Court House, although the land is in Barbour County. West Virginia was
formed in 1863, when thirty nine counties in and west of the Allegheny mountains separated from Virginia to form a new state.
Roman numerals indicates the generation of each family, beginning with (I) for the progenitor. Arabic numerals indicate the order, and number, of children in each family, if known. The older information on the family was secured from an old copy
of a history of the Crislip family. The book was owned by a lady on Walnut Fork, in Lewis County, West Virginia, in the early 1940's.
We were able to corroborate much of the information I have gathered on the different branches of both mine and my husband's families, during the last thirty five years, by an intensive search of courthouse records, historical societies,
genealogical libraries, etc., in 1977. During the late summer and early fall of that year we searched in nineteen different counties in Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Much of the information contained in my records could never be secured now, for I "picked" it from the memory of the older generations, who have since died.
We visited Jennings Crislip in Jane Lew, West Virginia, on Monday, May 5, 1980. He is the son of the elderly lady living in Vadis, W. Va. in 1940, from whom we secured our first information on the Christlieb Family. He had a small booklet,
entitled The Christlieb Family, by Benjamin F. Criestlieb, of Minnesota, 1895.
This booklet did not give Gottlieb Christlieb of Germany as the father of Frederick Charles (I). I'm sure the book from which I secured my information forty years earlier than this visit was a larger book and gave this information.
I. Gottlieb Christlieb, of Germany. Since he had a grandson born in 1747,
he was probably born around the turn of the century or earlier.
II. Frederick Charles Christlieb, (1), was born in Durkheim, Rhenish Bavaria, Germany.
He came to America in 1765, with his wife,
Anna Catherine Buck, and their two sons.
III. 1. Frederick Charles, (II). Born 6-1-1751 at St. Gretchen, near Durkheim.
He may not have been the elder of the two sons, and as far as I know
he was "lost' to the descendants of his brother, Jacob, who was our ancestor.
2. Jacob Christlieb, (I), was born in Germany in 1747. He married
Nancy Singer (born in 1755), and for a short time resided in Pennsylvania.
Jacob traveled from Carlisle, Pa., to near Phillipi, W. Va. (The log cabin where, it is said, he lived was still standing in 1985.) He raised his children there, although tradition says that the last
three children were born in Pa., before they moved to W. Va., in 1793. The family history gave the names of only eight of the children, saying the other three were "lost" to the family but all twelve are named in their father's will. The
birth and death dates and names of the spouses are from the Crislip History.
Jacob died in 1822, and his wife, Nancy, in 1824. Will written April 14, 1821 and probated March Court 1822. In the body of the will the name is called "Crislip." but signed "Chrislib." Recorded in Harrison Co. Court House, Clarksburg, W. Va.,
Will book #3, on pages 29-31. (See p. 29). It has been established that Jacob was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. (See below)

A copy of my records on the Crislip family line is contained in this book. If the daughters of the descendants of Jacob Chrislip should desire membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution,
this should be all the proof needed, with the exception of the later documents of proof of descent, such as birth certificates. These are now easily obtained because of good courthouse records. I have photocopies of all legal documents. The
historical marker (next page) is erected on route 57, between Philippi and Clarksburg, West Virginia. This picture was printed in the Barbour (County) Democrat, on August 2, 1989. Jacob Christlieb and his son, William, are buried in separate
cemeteries, but both are near the location of the marker.

older children had married or were living in other households.
V. 5. Sarah Ann Crislip, married her cousin,
Martin Crislip. (She was probably one of the older children, and already married before the death of her father in 1847. He left her less than

THE WILL OF WILLIAM CHRISLIP, 1847
This is a copy of the will of one of my great-grandfather's. Written April 8, 1847 and probated in Barbour County Court at the May term of the same year. It is recorded in book #1, page 16. My
great-grandfather bought all the 50 acres in one tract, which he and his six brothers had received by will from their father, Jacob Chrislib. Shortly before his death, he bought another 300 acres from his brother Samuel and wife Eleanor
Jane. The cost was $217.08. He paid $50.00, and the remainder was to be paid in two annual payments. This transaction took place March 26, 1847. His will was written about two weeks later and probated less than two months after it was
written. It seems odd that he would be buying land on time payments if he thought his death was impending. Was his death unexpected, or was he making better provision for his family because he knew he would not live long? I wonder!
I William Crislip of the County of Barbour and state of Virginia, do hereby make my last will and
testament, in the manner and form following To wit, First: I desire, that all my lands shall remain in the entire possession, and under the controll, and for the only use of my wife, Hannah to farm, lease rent or manage in any way
whatsoever to the best of her skill and ability in the purpose of her own comfort, and living, and for the comfort and living and raising of my children during her natural life. Furthermore, I desire that she shall have all the
farming utensils, House hold and Kitchen furniture, with entire possession of all the houses and outer buildings with all things appertaining thereto to have and to hold and manage at her own will and discretion So long as she
shall live after my decease. I also give and bequeath to her my bay Baldfaced Horse and two milch cows also three head of hogs furthermore: I desire that after the decease if my Wife Hannah, that my son Perrygreen shall have fifty
acres of land off the southeast end of my faun on which he lives by paying three hundred dollars to my daughters first therein named as follows, to my daughter Barbara one hundred dollars and to my daughter Drusilla one hundred
dollars and to my daughter Hannah one hundred dollars. Furthermore, I desire that my son Johnson Shall have thirty acres of land off of the northwest end of my farm so as to include the house (after the decease of my wife Hannah)
by paying one hundred and fifty dollars, as follows, to my daughter Rachel one hundred dollars, the remaining fifty dollars to my daughter Sarah in addition to what I have already given her. The remaining part of my land, I
give to my son William Tamer, by his paying two hundred and fifty dollars, as follows: to my daughter Minerva, one hundred dollars, to my daughter Susannah, one hundred dollars, and the remaining fifty dollars to be equally
divided between my four youngest daughters Hannah, Rachel, Minerva and Susannah to be appropriated in bedding to their use. Lastly, I do hereby constitute my friend Aquilla Ward and my wife Hannah Crislip Executors of this my last
will and Testament, hereby making all other or former wills or testaments by me heretofore made null and void.
