Sources:
* Bible of Samuel Russell RICE [?? Jr ??]
* Frank RAFFEL, family historian
* Geraldine Ceba (ROSSER), only child of Pauline (Herrington) Rosser

Notes:
* Esther did marry, but late in life, and had no children.
* No idea as to why family Bibles indicate that Robert's surname was CRISWELL... but family tradition is that [for an unknown reason] he did change his name to HERRINGTON. Leaning towards his using his mother's maiden name... His death certificate reads: Robert HARRINGTON. No one bothered to correct. His, and his daughter signatures, all read as.... H-E-R-R-I-N-G-T-O-N.
* 1900 Census, reads dob 25 Mar 1857, "TX, TX, TX", which I believe to be the most correct... since Sophie answered questions
* 1910 Census, reads dob 25 Mar 1854, "KY, KY, KY", error caused by Esther
* 1920 Census, reads dob 25 Mar 1854, "KY, KY, KY", error caused by Esther
* Found several CRISWELL males in Church Baptismal records in Vermilion Parish .... presently trying to follow-up on these, and one was named Robert CRISWELL.
