Bio

"Crister" is probably shorthand for "Christopher." A 1751 entry in the day book of Ebenezer Arms of Deerfield, Massachusetts, notes Col. William Williams as debtor for a pair of pumps (shoes) made for Crister. Williams didn't have a son by that name, but this could have been an enslaved man, indentured servant, or hired man.
