Historical Information
Andrew Monroe Cridler (1820-1895) was the son of George Jacob Cridler (fl. 1783-1820) and Isabella Monroe (1785-1866), and the grandson of Andrew Monroe (1760-1847), younger brother of President James Monroe. Cridler, a shoemaker by trade, lived in Aldie, Virginia. In 1840, he married Rachel Jane Smallwood. They had three daughters. Roberta Virginia Cridler (1851-1939) married Burr W. Hough (1847-1926); Jane Isabella Cridler (1855-1934) married Edgar McFarland (1856-before 1934), and Mary Frances Cridler (1857-1917) who married Webster C. Palmer (1852-1891). Andrew Cridler died in 1895 and is buried in Union Cemetery in Leesburg.
