From History of Maries Co, MO by King: "James Crismon, among the youngest of Gilbert Crismon's children, was born in Osage County August 10, 1825, and moved with his father to present Maries County when about six years old. He spent the balance of his life here, where he died December 16, 1895. Most of his adult life was spent on the twelve hundred eighty acre farm on the Big Maries near Brinktown, still called the Jim Crismon place but now divided into seven or eight farms. His wife was Frances, daughter of Benjamin Eads, who was born May 28, 1825, also in Osage County. She died here April 2, 1894. His second marriage, which was to a widow Shelton, occurred only shortly before his death. The eleven children, all born of the first marriage and all long since dead, were: Jesse H., James Munro, Benjamin F., Gilbert O., Robert E., Louisa J., Nancy, Margaret, Malinda, Matilda, and Mary"
