On April 16, 2015 the following information was sent as a correction to this page. Since Bill Boggess is the one that did the research and this was his listing, I am hesitant to change anything so I will add what was sent below for anyone's examination. It was sent by contributor jesse crisler

I'm writing to request a correction in the data you've posted for Sarah Catherine Mobley Fix Crisler Flora. I appreciate how much you've listed for her, but I think there is one error. Her second husband was Albert Crisler, b. act 1832 in Ohio. He was a son of Albert George Crisler. You have the father listed as Sarah's second husband, but Albert George died on 19 Nov 1857 and is buried in the sharon Graveyard, Clay Township, Bartholomew, Indiana, next to his wife. Since Sarah and her husband Albert Crisler married only 3 months earlier on 3 Sep 1857, Albert George could not be her husband, if they had two children, Willametta W. Crisler, b. 1 Aug 1858, and Lillie C. Crisler, b. Oct 1861. Unfortunately, we don't know much about the younger Albert, but Sarah appears on the 1860 census in Bartholomew Co., with two of his younger brothers, Jesse, then 20, Jacob, then 18, and a younger sister Jennie, then 16. Since Albert George Crisler and his wife, Anna Foos, had both died in 1857, their seven younger children--the three living with Sarah and four others even younger--had been placed with relatives or friends or in the case of Sarah, with a sister-in-law. Jesse served in the Civil War and married in 1867; Jacob also enlisted but never married; Jennie married in 1878 and had no children. I have information on other children of Albert George Crisler if you are interested.
Thanks, Jesse S. Crisler (p. s. I am a great-great-grandson of Albert George's younger brother, John Addison Crisler.)
