Person Info
Abraham Crites: Birth: 6 AUG 1826 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Death: 20 MAR 1880 in Erath County, Texas (see notes)
| a. |
Note: In a legal document dated May 1855: Elizabeth Step Crites she used her mark as signature. This was an affidavit stating that she was the widow of Daniel Crites, deceased, and was applying for bounty land. Her maiden name Step is used in the body of the document. Also the marriage date for her and Daniel. On the Bounty Land affidavit Elizabeth filed is noted to be 56. Cape Girardeau Co, Mo. Estate Records Box 63, Bundle 1218: Daniel Crites d. 1843: Elizabeth Crites widow and Exr., daughter Nancy C. Allen. A death certificate on Elizabeth and Daniel's daughter Elvira Beatty shows mother as Elizabeth Stepp. Some think Daniel was married to an Elizabeth Allen, but I have not been able to uncover a connection. It is true that Columbus' middle name was Allen, but it is believed by other researchers that he was named after Nancy's husband, Thomas Allen, who apparently was highly regarded in the family. My grandfather was named Thomas Allen Crites.
