Name
Christler is usually simplified to Crisler.
'"Theobald Christler. Theobald's name has been troublesome in the records, probably because it is an unusual name. Pick a spelling and it has probably been used. In fact, I would make no claim that Theobald is the correct form.The last name of Christler is usually simplified to Crisler. Rosina and
Theobald"'[2]
The first name (Johann) in Germany is usually the Baptism name, but is usually known by their secular name or as we know it the middle name. His full German name was likely Johann Dewald Christler. His English name is often listed Theobald Cristler.

Theobald fought briefly on the frontiers against Indian depredations during the French-Indian Wars (1753-1754) with his brothers, David and Michael. He was in Gen. Braddock's campaign against Fort Duquesne with David, but was returned home since he already had ten children and was over 53 at this time. This probably prevented the untimely death of the Crisler progenitor in America.

The six hundred and seventeenth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies
Two of the families who came to America through the port of Philadelphia were the Christler family and the Gaar family. The Christler family came first, in 1719, and settled in Franconia Township, in what is Montgomery County today. One of the members of the family was Johann Theobald Christele, aged nine years when he left Germany. (The origins of this family
are recounted in "Before Germanna," volume 11.) The Gaar family arrived in 1732 and lived for a short period of time in Germantown, outside Philadelphia. [23]
