Crisp, Charles F. (Charles Frederick), 1845-1896
Charles Crisp was a Confederate soldier and Georgia jurist before serving as a U.S. congressman. He was elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1891 and served in that role until 1895. Crisp County, created in south Georgia in 1905, was named for him.
Charles Frederick Crisp was born in Sheffield, England, on January 29, 1845, to actors Eliza and William Crisp. The Crisps were naturalized American citizens who were visiting their native land at the time of their son's birth. Initially the couple worked as touring actors in America but eventually made their home in Georgia. Crisp's father was manager of a theater in Savannah for seven years beginning in about 1853, and Charles received his early education there.
