Notice that the order of names here would be Bryan Robert. In February 2010, I found Robert's WWI Draft Registration, which records his name as Robert Bryan. I will follow this name order over the census. See the following notes on his signing the registration with this name.
World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918
Robert Bryan Crisswell
Residence St Charles, Arkansas County, Arkansas
Birth 11 Mar 1900 (place of birth not reported)
Farmer, employed by J B Crisswell, also nearest relative, address St Charles
Medium height, Slender build, Blue Eyes, Light Brown Hair
Registration 19 July 1918 Stuttgart, Arkansas, Arkansas
Signed Robert Brind Criswell
This record helps us with the order of Robert's names. I had surmised from the census records that the name order was Bryan Robert, but have adjusted to follow this record, which I will assume to be more first-hand information. He signs the name in this order, though with this spelling: ROBERT BRIND CRISWELL. This birth date helps with the exact date of birth.
Note the spelling of his last name, which as far as I can tell, was never used by this Criswell family. I did, however, find one early listing with this spellling in the funeral home records for one early Criswell.
