[Harrison County]   [Richland Precinct]

DAVID CRISWELL, farmer, P. O. Richland; was born Jan. 27, 1827, in Henry
County, Ky., and is the son of William and Catharine (Lawson) Criswell;
his father was born in Scott County, Ky., in 1802, he subsequently moved
to Harrison County.  His mother was born in Henry County, Ky, in 1802.
The old people are still living and making their home with Joseph and
his brother John.  In 1856 Joseph was married to Miss Polly Right, who
bore him six children, four of whom are living: William T., John L.,
Lucinda A. and Luther.  Mr. C. [sic] has a farm of 275 acres and makes
growing of tobacco a specialty.  Himself and family are members of the
M. E. Church, and in politics is a Democrat.  They trace their genealogy
back to the old pioneers of Kentucky, and stand in the community now,
as they did then, honorable, industrious and respected people.
