james t critcfield

Welcome.

Do you have information about when and where he lived?

Is this the Nathaniel Critchfield who lived in 1800 Somerset Co., Pa & died 6 March 1843 in Howard, Knox Co., Ohio?

Welcome esholms!

Maybe Bill will be able to help you further?

But this I had to check because I live in Elkhart, Ind. Here’s your Nathaniel in Benton Township in Elkhart, co. which is southern Elkhart co.

Is he buried in Brown cemetery in Benton township? White is one of my direct lines too, but they seem to have stayed in Ky from what I know so far. Originally from Va. Sue J

Are these the families of James and Absolem?

(the 1860 Clay Co census adds daughter Elzora E., b.abt. 1854 Ind. )

World Family Tree Volume 36, Tree 525, asserts that James T. Critchfield, son of Nathaniel (b.1757 Hunterdon Co., NJ) “was chief of the Blackfoot Tribe.” A WFT Vol 36 would be fairly old, I would think. Do you know who handed down the Blackfoot information in your family?

This lists James T. as d. 1861 Clay Co., Indiana and Pernette White Critchfield m’d 2nd (in 1866) William House (d. before 1870) and m’d 3rd (in 1878 Sullivan Co) Richard Pigg. The 2nd and 3rd marriages supported by Clay Co Marriage Records and census records.

The Nathaniel Critchfield who d. 1843 Knox Co., Ohio, was a son or nephew of the Nathaniel b.1757 NJ, Served in Rev. War in Va, d. 1859 Elkhart.

Nathaniel, b.1757 NJ, appears to be the son of Amos W. Critchfield, b. 1720 NJ, d. 1781 Hamphshire Co., (W)Va.

Almost all of Amos’s children can be found in 1800 Somerset Co., Pa.

Pernette White, b.abt. 1812 Ky, may be the dau of James White, b. 1760s, who lived in Clay Co., Ind in 1830. I’d look for James as the son of David White (b.abt. 1740 Va) & his wife Kizziah.

In the early 1800s this family lived in Pulaski Co., Ky.

I am also looking for the possible connection of this family to the “Other Blackfoot Tribe”. I descend from James T. Critchfield and Permetta White through their daughter Martha “Mattie” Critchfield born 1857 in Clay County, Indiana. She married Alexander Campbell Duggins in 1874 in Sullivan County, Indiana.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.:)

I will keep trying for us!!!!
