- Birth: 1871
Death: Jan. 4, 1944
The Lister name is difficult although this spellings helps a bit. One assumes the family comes from northern England (Yorkshire?). This particular line descends from a Nimrod Lister who migrated from Delaware (Sussex county) to Ohio (Ross county) in the first decade of the 1800s. His children (nine) migrated further including my line to IN. The family appears to be from eastern shore MD (possibly Caroline county) but no one to my knowledge has done the difficult primary research.
