PEYTON R. CHRISMAN, deceased, was born in Virginia, and emigrated to Ohio with his parents, who located in Madison County. He received a limited education in the public schools, and followed farming through life. In 1847, he married Clara Kenton, a daughter of Simon and Phoebe (Baker) Kenton. The former was a saddler by trade, and a native of Kentucky, but was not the celebrated Indian-fighter of the same name. Mr. Chrisman died on Easter Sunday, in April, 1877, leaving four children, viz.: Caroline, wife of Benjamin Emery, a farmer; Richard, Edward and Harry. The children are all married and doing well. Mrs. Chrisman resides on 1,300 acres of land which she inherited from her father.
