Dear Linda,
I have been researching the Christians in Fayette County, Kentucky for some time. Most of them are famous for their service in the Revolutionary War. If you check Wikipedia.com, you will see a whole article on Colonel William Christian. He married Patrick Henry's sister Anne.
Unfortunately I am not related to any of these people.
Hope this helps. Good luck in finding your family.
The William you found, I believe is the one I have been looking for. Could you share that info with me.
Sincerely,
Cathey Bryant

Subject: [CHRISTIAN] brothers b Va, John 1752, William 1758, Andrew, Jr. 1761, Jacob, 1763
I believe these men are the sons of Andrew Christian, Sr. who may have died
about 1795. Most or all of these men were born in Hanover County.
John married Judith Pate. They had children starting with Paul in 1772 all
the way down to Jane who was born in 1790. John died in 1792, I assume in
Fayette Co., Kentucky. Most, if not all, of his children were born in Virginia.
William possibly married Martha Evans. I can find no children. He died in
1828 in Fayette Co., Kentucky.
Andrew ( my line) died in Fayette Co., Kentucky in 1837. He married Mary
"Polly" Hatton (or reversed) in Amelia Co, VA. They had 12 children including
my Elizabeth "Betsy" who was born in VA. in 1795. I DO NOT know any of her
siblings' names but about 1850 her mother said she had 12 kids living in
Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri.
Jacob died in 1813, I assume in Fayette Co., KY.
Three of the brothers fought in the Revolutionary War and have a plaque with
their names on it in a town hall in Fayette County, Kentucky
Now, can anyone help me with any part of this even if to disprove me? I
would so love some help. I have only found 2 or 3 people with this line on the
Internet. Thanks, Linda J Fleming
