        JACOB P. CRIST, farmer, Washington Township, was born in Mahoning
County, Ohio, January 3, 1831, son of Samuel and Sarah Crist, natives of
Pennsylvania. In 1845 he came to this county with his parents, who settled
on section 19, Washington Township, which was then a wilderness. The father
died in August, 1847, and the mother in August, 1886. Of their children six
survive -Jacob P., Samuel L., Elias, Jonathan, George and Elizabeth. After
the death of the father the care and support of the family devolved mainly
upon our subject. He attended the early district schools, which gave him
only a rudimentary education. He was married January 15, 1857, to Nancy A.
Parish, born May 26, 1837, in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, and when fourteen
years of age came with her parents to this county, where she was reared to
maturity. Of the five children born to Mr. and Mrs. Crist three survive

Margaret Parish, and they were the parents of eleven children, of whom
seven survive -Joshua, Nancy A., Mary J., Joseph, Abner, James and
Margaret. Mr. Crist owns 133 acres of good land, and is meeting with fair
success. Himself and wife are members of the Protestant Methodist church,
and he has served as steward in that church. Politically he is a Democrat.
