According to granddaughter Peggy Jeanette Schneider, "[My] mom's mom was always called Cressie Elizabeth but my research has the spelling Cerisie L. Robinson. I am not sure the spelling is right for the last name." Peggy believes that Crissie died in May 1954, although this conflicts with census evidence.

Family Ties

Crissey and Chester's marriage in 1907 was at least the third Roberson-Henry union:

• In 1904, George E Roberson married Chester's first cousin Mollie Henry
• In 1886, Crissie Roberson (1869) married Chester's fourth cousin, once-removed, Lloyd Jefferson Henry

Historical Records

• 1900 (Possible matches):
  • 1900 Census: Lizzie Roberson. Born Nov 1891. Parents: Charles N, Nellie L. Home in 1900: McKinney, Collin, Texas. Parents both born in Tennessee. (Father, Charles Nathan Roberson died 21 Mar 1947 in Collin Co, Texas.)
  • 1900 Census: Catherine Robertson. 12 years old (b. 1887), white, female, born in Texas. Parents: William D Robertson and Catherine Robertson, both born in Tennessee. Family appears to have moved from Tennessee to Texas between 1872 and 1878. Father died in Texas in 1914, though; making it unlikely that they would have moved back to TN in order for Crissey to meet Chester. (Although, who knows--maybe they traveled back briefly to meet family in TN.)
