- Criswell Family Among Early Settlers and Heroes of Texas History
William Melton Criswell, b. Aug. 1, 1849 in Black Jack Springs,
Fayette Co., Texas, m. Nov. 1, 1871 to Martha L. (Nellie) Warwick in
Bastrop Co., Texas. Numerous letters from him between 1879-82 - he had
some cattle, but seemed to be primarily an itinerant horse trader; two
letters indicate some trouble with the law. He was assinated in Comfort
Texas by a "man named Kelly" on Oct. 28, 1882. The widow wrote
they "only charged the Irishman with manslaughter".
