William Critchfield and Family


William Critchfield – Jesse Critchfield – Norman Bruce Critchfield Compiled Lineage


William Critchfield was born to William and Johanna (Tillison) Critchfield on 23 July 1799[1] in Somerset County, Pa.[2] Born only 16 years after the end of the Revolutionary War between the American Colonies and Great Britain, William grew as the new United States of America grew. With only 16[3] states at his birth the United States grew to 35[4] states by his death on 25 Aug 1863.[5] William would have heard tales of the Revolutionary War from his father, who was a veteran serving in a Virginia unit,[6] lived through the War of 1812 and watched his sons, John and Jesse, march off to fight in the Civil War.

William married Susannah (maiden name unknown) in Somerset County, Pa.[7]  Susannah died the 12 June 1860 and was buried on the 14th of June 1860.[8] Her burial place is unknown at this time. William died on the 25th of Aug 1863 and was buried on the 27th of Aug 1863[9] in the Fitchner Cemetery in Northampton Twp., Somerset County, Pa.[10] William lived his entire life in Somerset County living in  Milford Twp.,[11] Southampton Twp.[12], and then Northampton Twp.[13] over the course of his life.

William owned land in Somerset County,[14] where, according to the 1850 US Population Census, he was a farmer who owned $1500 worth of real property. After his father’s death in 1843 or 1844,[15] he filed suit against his brother Jesse for division of the family land.[16] There was a dispute as to whether Jesse had legal title to the property. Jesse had sold the land and William wanted it returned. The court found in William’s favor and gave title to the land back to William. Active in county politics, William was a Justice of the Peace for Southampton Township in 1840 and again in 1850, and for Northampton Township in 1855.[17] And he was also found on an assessors list of property owners in Northampton Township in 1852.[18] They worshipped in Sanner Church (later St. John’s Lutheran Church) in Black Twp, Somerset County, Pa. Their children were baptized there.[19]

We have records for three children, John, born 1827,[20] Elizabeth, born 1829,[21] and Jesse, born 1841.[22]

John, the eldest son of William and Susanna, was born on 5 Sept 1827.[23] He was married to Julia Ann May[24] 19 Sept 1850 in Bedford County, Pa by George G. Walker, Esq.[25]  Julia was born in Nov of 1821.[26] John was drafted on 3 June 1864,[27] as a Private, into Co. D, 87th PA Vol. Inf.[28] According to the 1890 US Veteran’s Schedule they lived in Fossilville, Bedford County, Pa and he had lost his discharge papers, though he did know that he had been discharged 29 June 1865.[29] He was also partially deaf.

Though farming was an important way of life for William and many of his ancestors railroading became a family occupation for many of his children and his grandchildren. John was an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad for many years.[30] He died on 13 Jan 1902[31] and was buried in the Carpenter Cemetery in Harrison, Bedford County, Pa.[32] Julia Ann died 19 Jan 1911 in Bedford County, Pa.[33] From the 1900 US Census we find that Julia had twelve children six of whom were still alive.[34]
Their children:
William Oliver was born about 1850[35]  and later moved to Denver, Colorado.[36]
Jacob Albert was born in Somerset County, Pa on 8 Sept 1852.[37]  He married
Mary Ann Wilson in 1855 in Fulton County, Pa.
James Franklin was born about 1854 in Pennsylvania.[38]
Edward F. was born about 1858 in Pennsylvania.[39]
Winfield Scott was born about 1861 in Pennsylvania[40] and became a conductor on a railroad line in Altoona, Pa.[41]
Lewis Edward was a resident of Dunbar, Fayette County, Pa.[42]
Margaret E. was born about 1863 in Pennsyolvania.[43]
Clara B was born about 1867 in Pennsylvania.[44]
Mary E was born about 1868 in Pennsylvania.[45]
John Howard was born about Jan of 1870 in Pennsylvania[46] and became a railroad employee in Ellerslie, Allegany County, Md.[47]
Ellen, Bella, Mary, Anna, and Jenny all died of Diphtheria within a month of each other.[48] (More research is needed to identify the nicknames with the appropriate daughters listed above and find the two missing daughters, Anna and Jenny. Though Ellen is probably Margaret E., Bella is Clara B. and Mary is Mary E.)

Elizabeth, William and Susanna’s only daughter, was born 19 July 1829 in Somerset County, Pa[49] and married John Bridegum[50] before 1850.[51] John was born in Feb of 1828 in Pennslyvania.[52] They had nine children all of whom were still alive in 1900.[53] Elizabeth died on 15 May 1906.[54] John died 13 Dec 1905.[55]  They are both buried in the IOOF Cemetery in Berlin, Somerset County, Pa.[56]

Jesse was born in July of 1841[57] in Somerset County Pa, and was married to Rebecca Gessner on 3 Dec 1861 in Somerset County, Pa by Rev. Crossman.[58] She was the daughter of Ludwig Gessner[59] and Catherine (last name unknown)[60] of Berlin, Somerset County, Pa. both of whom were born in Germany.[61]

Jesse enlisted[62] in Co. F, 142nd Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry on 25 Aug 1863. He served his country for about 3 years spending over 8 months[63] as a prisoner of war in Andersonville, Georgia, mustering out on 29 May 1865[64] with the rest of his regiment in Washington D.C.

He was a school teacher in Somerset County, Pa from 1860 to 1881[65] and then moved into the mercantile profession. He had moved to Ellerslie, Md by 1890 and was a schoolteacher[66] there as well. He was elected a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from Allegany County for the 1901-1902 session[67],[68] and finally was an assistant postmaster by 1910[69] assisting his daughter, Clara, who was the Postmistress for Ellerslie. Jesse and Rebecca were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Ellerslie, Allegany County, Md.[70]

Jesse died 13 March 1917[71] and was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Cumberland, Allegany County, Md by the L. Stein Funeral Home.[72] Rebecca was also buried by the L. Stein Funeral Home in Rose Hill after her death on 31 Dec 1934.[73] The Leasure-Stein Funeral Home building was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places and the Maryland State Historic Trust Sites on 8 Aug 1988.[74] (See Narrative History of Jesse Critchfield and his Family for more details about Jesse and Rebecca’s life.)

Their known children:
William C.A. was born 11 July 1867 in Pennsylvania[75] and had moved to Denver, Colorado by 1935.[76] In the 1940 US Population Census he was widowed and living with his son, Jesse, renting a home for $20.[77] It also indicated that he had lived there in 1935 as well.

Charles, born on 28 Aug 1869 in Pennsylvania,[78] married Rebecca Taylor[79] in Frostburg, Allegany County, MD. They were married by Rev. W.W. Wood. By 1935, they were living in Carleton, Missouri.[80]

John Milton was born 24 Feb 1871in Pennsylvania.[81] Nothing more is known at this time.

Norman Bruce was born 26 June 1873 in Pennsylvania[82] and was baptized by the Rev. Frank Sailor on 1 Feb 1876.[83] He married Anna Lorreta McDonough,[84] daughter of Martin John McDonough and Catherine Malia,[85] who was born on Inishbofin Island, County Galway, Ireland on 3 April 1879.[86] She died in New Haven, Fayette County, Pa. on 4 Dec 1908.[87]

According to his WW1 Draft registration card[88] Norman was living in Ellerslie, Allegany County, Md in 1918 and was a track man for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He was employed out of Cook’s Mill, Bedford County, Pa, and was of tall height, slender build, blue eyes, light hair. Norman was a natural born US citizen.[89] Norman Bruce died 1 July 1920 of Tuberculois Meningitis with a contributory cause of an accidental injury of the spine and head on the railroad in Ellerslie, Allegany County, MD, and was buried on 3 July 1920 in Rose Hill Cemetery, Ellerslie, Allegany County, MD.[90] Like his parents Norman was also buried by the L-Stein Funeral Home.[91]

Jennie M was born in 1878 in Pennsylvania[92] and married Charles Champlin.[93] She lived in Pittsburgh, Alleghany County, PA, for most of her married life and died in Ellerslie, Allegany County, Pa.[94]

Alfred Sylvester was born 21 Nov 1879[95] in Cumberland, Allegany County, Md.[96] He moved to Sharpsburg, Allegheny County, Pa[97] by 1900 where he was living as a boarder with the William Fix family. He was working as telegrapher for the Railroad. Living in Minnesota by 1905, he was enumerated on the Minnesota State Census as a Railroad worker.[98]  His WW1 Draft Registration Card place him in the YMCA in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minn. It also states that Alfred was working as a train dispatcher for the Northern Pacific RR, was native born, with medium height, a slender build, grey eyes, and light hair.[99] Alfred went on a Cunard Cruise on the SS Tuscania on 22 Jan 1925 traveling from NY to NY arriving back on 21 Feb 1925 with stops in Nassau and Bermuda.[100] He was still single, living in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minn. at this time.  Albert died on 23 March 1930[101] in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minn. And was brought home to Ellerslie where he was buried by the L-Stein Funeral Home[102] on 26 March 1930 in Rose Hill Cemetery, Cumberland, Allegany, MD.[103]

Mary was born on 8 Feb1880 Maryland.[104] Nothing more is known of her at this time.

Clara Ellen was born 16 Nov 1882 in Maryland[105] and was baptized by the Rev. W.F. Shannon.[106] Like her father, Jesse, Clara was active in local affairs. On 14 April 1936, she appeared before the Board of County Commissioners of Allegany County, Md, as part of a committee of concerned citizens from Ellerslie, Md. The committee consisted of Messrs. Hugh Stevenson, J. Lloyd Wolfe, James Albright and Miss Clara Critchfield. They were requesting the County Commissioners to make some provision to remove debris from the creek that runs through Ellerslie, near the Post Office.[107] The clerk was instructed to request the State Roads Engineer to make an investigation and report back.

She was the Postmistress in Ellerslie, Allegany, MD in 1910[108] and never married. Clara’s death date and burial are unknown.
