Elizabeth Betsy Crist

KE S Price (Contributor 47770472) cited/added reliable sources. Hi, The source of marriage date for George Heinrich Crist SR and Elizabeth 'Besy' (Collings) Crist is [in] the Account Book, started by his father, Nicolaus H Crist (I see you have a portion of it on Elizabeth Collings memorial page). It specifies the date when GHC JR is born and that he is their first born son. That is where 5 March 1767 comes from. Also In the Account Book, GHC SR refers to his wife as Besy throughout the book. [Splendid]
