Born	c. 1887-1889 Texas
Died	between 1920 and 1930
Spouse	William Chester Henry (m. 1907) «Did not recognize date. Try slightly modifying the date in the first parameter.»"Marriage: William Chester Henry to Crissey Roberson" Location: (linkback:http://jimlindstrom.com/mediawiki/index.php/Crissey_Roberson)
Children	Nora Ethel Henry (b. c. 1908) William Carol Henry (b. c. 1909) Haskell T Henry (b. c. 1913) Dorothy L Henry (b. c. 1914)

According to Peggy Jeanette Schneider, "[My] mom's mom was always called Cressie Elizabeth but my research has the spelling Cerisie L. Robinson. I am not sure the spelling is right for the last name."

Crissey and Chester's marriage in 1907 was at least the third Roberson-Henry union:

• In 1904, George E Roberson married Chester's first cousin Mollie Henry
• In 1886, Crissie Roberson (1869) married Chester's fourth cousin, once-removed, Lloyd Jefferson Henry

According to Peggy Jeanette Schneider, Crissie died in May 1954, although this conflicts with census evidence.

Historical Records

• Crissey and Chester were married on January 30, 1907, according to Tennessee State Marriages, 1780-2002.
• In the 1910 census, Crysie (age 21), husband William C Henry (age 24), and children Nora E (age 2) and William C (age 6 months) live in Civil District 5, Putnam, Tennessee.
  • Crysie was born in 1889 in Texas. Her parents were both born in Tennessee.
• In the 1920 Census, Cerise L Henry (age 33), husband Chester Henry (age 35), and their four children Ethel N (age 11), Carol W (age 10), Haskel T (age 8), and Dortha L (age 6) live in Chickasaw, Pontotoc, Oklahoma.
  • Cerise was born in 1887 in Texas. Her parents were both born in Tennessee.

A possible match:

• 1900 Census: Lizzie Roberson. Born Nov 1891. Parents: Charles N, Nellie L. Home in 1900: McKinney, Collin, Texas. Parents both born in Tennessee. (Father, Charles Nathan Roberson died 21 Mar 1947 in Collin Co, Texas.)

Another possible match:

• 1900 Census: Catherine Robertson. 12 years old (b. 1887), white, female, born in Texas. Parents: William D Robertson and Catherine Robertson, both born in Tennessee. Family appears to have moved from Tennessee to Texas between 1872 and 1878. Father died in Texas in 1914, though; making it unlikely that they would have moved back to TN in order for Crissey to meet Chester.

Another (less likely) possible match:

• 1930 Census lists a Dorchester L Roberson, age 41 (born 1889 in Texas; parents born in Arkansas), as a lodger in Houston, Harris, Texas. It lists has widowed, but having married at age 23.
• The same person died 28 Feb 1950 in Tarrant Co, Texas.
