Christian was the son of Abraham Carver and Sarah Pettijohn.
Christian first married Sarah VanGundy in Kansas. She was murdered a short time after
their marriage. They had no children. He then maried Caroline Wilcox in Dallas Co. Tx.
24 June 1857(Vol. A&B page 88 in Dallas Co Records)
They had a son, Abraham and I am not sure, but Chriss Carver may have been born of this
marriage. There is no information on his death certificate as to who his mother and
father was. He lived his entire life on the Abraham Carver Land Grant of 1845. He died 8
Jan 1946(deth cert.#1595) and is buried in the Abraham Carver Cemetery on the origional
land grant.
Christian then married another Sarah(last name unknown) and had several children by her.
I would like to know when and where he died. There are several different places and times
out there.
Christian signed my GGGrandmother's petition for a Widow's pension from the Civil
War in 1906 in Dallas. This is the last time I know for sure where he was.
Christian is my GG(Half)Uncle. I am the GGGGranddaughter of Abraham Carver and Elizabeth
Cline. They are also buried in the family cemetery here in Dallas.
