"...letter written by her grandfather, Thomas Benton Crisp, Sr (b. 1843), who was the son of Alexander R. Crisp (1804-1847). This information, along with a little research that I have done on the Internet, convinces me that Alexander was the fifth son of Mansil Crisp (b. 1788 SC), with other sons being William Mansel, Tilman, and Elihu of TN, and John Rogers Crisp of SC. Alexander Roger Crisp (probably Andrew Rogers) has been largely unknown to Crisp list members."[1]
