Even though there is no longer a readable stone for Abraham Cryder/Crider or his wife, Sophia Leah, it has been recorded in family history that they are buried in Stumpf Cemetery. If you have new or more accurate information, please contact me.
You will see that there is some conflicting information in the biographical information below (most importantly, regarding the parents of Abram Cryder). Because I do not know which is correct, I am including both versions here. Please notify me if one or the other is proven to be correct.
From History of Ross and Highland Counties, pg. 252:
"Abram Cryder moved from Virginia to Colerain in 1815. He married Sophia, the widow of John Daly, and sister of Isaac Larich. Their children were Ephraim, David, George, Amelia and Eliza. All are living except Eliza. Ephraim lives in Cridersville, Ohio, and has raised a large family. David lives in Hocking County, Ohio and had 12 children. Three of his sons fell in the war of the Rebellion. George married Mary Bowsher. His son, Frank, now owns the Jesse Spencer place, south of Adelphi. Amelia married Amos Howell and is now a widow. She lives in Colerain Township."
As noted by FAG Contributor, Sheri Nye, another published history, The County of Ross, A History of Ross County, Ohio, from the Earliest-Days, with Special Chapters on the Bench and Bar, Medical Profession Educational Development, Industry and Agriculture and Biographical Sketches, by Henry Holcomb Bennett, pg. 245, states that Abram Cryder was among settlers who arrived early, but after 1810. Sheri also wrote, "This Abraham Cryder is not the son of Martin Crider and Catherine Schmutz. This Abraham Crider was residing in Salt Creek Twp., Pickaway Co. Ohio in 1820. While the other Abraham Crider s/o Martin was residing in Wellsburg, Brooke Co. VA in 1820." Thank you, Sheri.
A Cryder Genealogy written by Lorraine L. Crider is filed in the Crider History, Allen Co. Gen. Library. The Ohio generations seem to be fairly accurate, however, her research beyond Ohio seems to have been limited. Her sources are the "Authentic History of Lancaster Co.",
Mombert, at the N.Y. State Library, Albany, N.Y., Swiss & German Settlers in Lancaster Co., 1710-1725; "Notes and Queries," by Wm. Egle, pub. Harrisburg, PA., 1901, Vol. 1900, pp. 53-57; and "History of Berks & Lebanon Counties," Daniel Rupp, Albany State Library, Albany, NY, Bros. George & Christian. Lorraine Crider's genealogy states:
"Abraham married Sophia Larick Daly, widow of John Daly and sister of Isaac Larich, who migrated to the vicinity of Adelphia in 1804, and entered a quarter section of Salt Creek Twp., Hocking County (then Ross County), Ohio, that winter."
"Abram Cryder is known to have resided with his parents [Martin Kreider and Catherine Schmutz] in the vicinity of Avon, Lebanon Twp., Lebanon Co., PA. The fact that his name does not appear in the U.S. Census of 1790, indicates that he was under 16 years of age at that time, and the fact that his name does not appear on the assessment rolls of Lebanon County, at any time would show that while he was in Pennsylvania, he was not married. [Note: I don't understand that last statement.] He is listed in the record of the 1st and 2nd classes of the Militia of the County of Dauphin, "draughted and ordered to march against the insurgents in the western parts of Pennsylvania" in 1794, under Captain John Smith, Colonel James Wood's Regiment (the 3rd). It is interesting to note that many of this regiment appear to have been using borrowed 'firelocks.' This was at the time of the "Whiskey Rebellion."
"In the birth record of Martin Kreider's children, [apparently kept by someone in the family], no birth date is given for Abraham, simply the statement, "went West." He apparently migrated first to Virginia, and married there."
"The next time we hear of Abraham Cryder, he has arrived in Ohio. There are two versions as to that date. The History of Ross and Highland Counties states that he moved from Virginia to Colerain Twp., in 1815, and that his wife was Sophia Larich. However, The Centennial History of Ohio and the County of Ross claims that Abram Cryder was among the pioneers who came to Colerain Twp., Ross Co., Ohio, before 1810."

Too often I see Abraham Crider of Virginia, and husband of Leah Larrick as son of Martin Crider and Anna Catherine Schmutz. This erroneous information is being copied over and over.
The Abraham of Frederick Co. Virginia's parents are unknown at this time. He never lived in Brooke Co. Virginia. 1820 Census, I find Abraham Crider in Brooke Co. Virginia also in 1820 I find Abraham Crider (my ancestor) in Pickaway Co. Ohio. I would very much like to find my Abraham's ancestors. They are not Martin Crider and Anna Catherine Schmutz.
