My wife Louise is a CRIST so we are researching the family.  We have a 
pretty complete picture from John CRIST, her GGGrandfather, b. 30 Oct 
1778, d. 14 Nov 1856 in Burkittsville, Frederick Co., MD to the 
present. The family moved to Iowa in 1870. 
 
From "History of Frederick Co., MD and other sources we have the 
record of Jacob Adam CRIST who immigrated from Germany via Rotterdam 
to Philadelphia on the "Robert and Alice", arriving 24 Sep 1742 with 
his brother Johann Georg CRIST.  He went first to Berks Co., PA, then 
to York Co., where his wifes' relatives lived, in 1755.  He fought in 
the Revolution. This book and other sources detail part of their 
decendants, but not enough to connect with John CRIST above, though 
family tradition holds that they are related.  Any help would be 
appreciated.   
 
If you are interested, I could send you a copy of a 27 page history 
written by my wifes' Grandfather, Charles H. CRIST.  It tells about a 
number of Civil War incidents (they lived near Harpers Ferry), and has 
a lot of Crist genealogy.
