HOPKINS COUNTY AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTENNIAL 1776-1976 HOPKINS COUNTY
and OUR HERITAGE by Florene Chapman Adams p168, 169, 172

"Eli Lindley, settled north  of  Peerless,  Texas.  Eli  was  the  first
settler of Peerless. Eli married Sarah (Sallie) Crisp, daughter of Reden
Crisp and his wife Ruth Hicklin Crisp, soon after he moved to  Peerless.
Reden and Ruth Crisp seem to have made all the same moves that old Jacob
Lindley and his wife made from Kentucky to Indiana, and  from  there  to
Missouri, and on to Texas in 1841.

After the death of Reden Crisp, his widow Ruth Hicklin Crisp, decided to
return to her old home in Missouri to live. Ruth and a Negro woman,  who
was her slave, made the  trip  back  to  Missouri  in  a  buggy  and  on
horseback. They traveled through the thinly settled country  alone,  but
they made it safely back to Missouri."

Ruth Hicklin Crisp, wife of REDEN CISP, died at Johnson County  Missouri
in 1852 at the age of 66. She  was  staying  with  her  son,  Greenberry
Crisp, at the time
