26 John CRIDER, b. 25 Jul 1808, Lebanon Co., PA, s/o Christian and Catherine (WITMER) CRIDER (52/53), d. 2 Feb 1870, on Wednesday at his home in Scrabble, Jefferson Co., WV, m. Sat., 15 Oct 1833, by rev. Mr. Drane, Funkstown, Washington Co., MD,  (27) Eliza SEIBERT, b. 15 May 1815, Washington Co., MD, d/o Peter and Margaret (KNODE) SEIBERT (54/55), d. 3 Nov 1865, Scrabble, Jefferson Co., WV. Both are buried in Scrabble U. Methodist Church Cemetery, at Scrabble. By 1833, John CRIDER had migrated down the Hagerstown Valley (Cumberland Valley in PA, Shenandoah in VA), to the vicinity of Washington Co., MD, where he married Eliza SEIBERT in the town of Funkstown. All of their children except James A. and Emma Virginia, the youngest, were born in Washington County, probably in Keedysville. Before 1850, they moved across the Potomac River to Berkeley County, VA. They appear in the 1850 census in Berkeley County, but by the 1860 census they had moved across the creek to Jefferson County, with Joseph Creswell 19, Philamon Cromwell 45, a millwright, James O'Brien 17, a clerk, and Kate Washington 75, a black female.. Actually, they were right on the county line, where John operated a mill on Rocky Marsh Run, the boundary line between Berkeley and Jefferson counties. The house and mill were on the south side of the run, in Jefferson County, a few hundred yards upstream from Dam No. 4. As late as 1980, there was still a house and part of the mill still standing on the site. John and Eliza are both buried a few miles west in the Scrabble Methodist churchyard. John Crider reported the death of his daughter Emma Virginia.

NOTE: There is a possibility that Eliza SEIBERT was not the daughter of Peter and Margaret (KNODE) SEIBERT. For now the compiler will leave this genealogy in place until more information is obtained.
