RISTON/WRISTON/WRISTEN NOTES
Use your "back" button to return to the previous page.
ALL MARYLAND RECORDS ARE IN THE NAME "RISTON". From 1812-1819 the name was also Riston in the records of Christian Co., KY. Beginning 1820, recorders spelled the name WRISTON. It seems logical to suggest that other records then spelled the name WRISTEN at times.
#1 (From page 1)
On 13 May 1827,
Zadock RISTEN (spelled that way), had “sworn” to be the “same person” who belonged
to the company commanded by Captain Benjamin Brooke in the regiment commanded
by Colonel William D. Beull in the “service of the United States”. His name
was placed on the Pension Roll of the State of Maryland. By then, Zadock was
living in the District of Columbia. He wanted his pension paid to his residence
in DC. Zadock was a private in
the regiment commanded by Colonel Gunby of the Maryland line for 21 months.
He was paid $8.00 per month beginning 18 Apr 1818.
In the year 1777, he enlisted in a company commanded by Captain Benjamin
Brooks in the Town of Upper Marlboro for a term of 3 years. He was discharged
but in 1781 re-enlisted under this same Captain whose company was a part of
the 3rd MD regiment commanded by Col. Gunby.
He was in the battles of Brandywine, Eautau and Paoli. His pension #
is 10, 216. At the time, Zadock
had 3 of his grandchildren and one daughter living with him and working on the
“land he rents”. He also owed about $60.00.
I do not know who was the father of the 3 grandchildren who had “left
them. Zadock had also served with
(1st) the Thomas L.
Woods regiment and then, for a short time, Wagners regiment.
Another paper states he was discharged on 17 Mar 1780 but enlisted again
on 17 Aug 1781. Captain Benjamin Brooks (3rd Regiment) was detached
westward in 1783 and was “marched to Bedford. In 1783 to Frederick Town in MD
and finally discharged that same year.
His name is spelled Risden on another paper. His “only children, Benjamin
Riston and Cassandra Ann King received his money after he died which apparently
was on 26 Mar 1839.
In the 1776 census, the ONLY male CLIFFORD listed is JOHN CLIFFORD, age 43.
In his family is wife Monica (unknown) and 3 male children, ages 22, 15, and
12. He had dies about 1778 and his wife was trying to collect his debts
for his estate that year and in 1779. There were also 3 females, ages
8, 12, and 14 and 2 slaves under the age of 16. John Clifford took
the Oath of Fidelity in 1778 with Elisha RISTON. Was this a friend of
his or a relative that he named his son for?
