Even though his middle initial is reported in the 1870 census as H, in genealogies it is J and some have his full name as John Jefferson Criswell. The name on John's grave is John J Criswell.
Censuses report his wife as Sarah Ann or Sallie. Knowledgeable genealogies report her maiden name as Bishop. This is confirmed in the 1900 census, where a Robert Bishop in their household is reported as John's brother-in-law.
