Hello Christmas Family Researchers (Herbert, Cindy, Jeb, and Eddie)...
Thanks to the Muscogee Co. query page on Ga. US Gen Web, I found out
today that I have Christmas ancestry. Here is what I have:
My gg grandmother was Emily Virginia Ferguson, b. 01/09/1831 in Walton
Co. Ga., who married Thomas Jefferson Granberry. Her parents were James
Ferguson b. abt. 1800 in SC (per 1850 Muscoggee co. GA Census. Also
according to that census he was married to a Martha H. who was born
about 1802. I have since (today) learned that Martha H. is Martha H.
Christmas. Her brothers and sisters were Nathaniel G. Christmas,
Temperance (Christmas) Huff (wife of John Huff), Mary P. (Christmas)
Huff (wife of Daniel Huff, Jr.).
Their father was Richard Christmas. This is information from Will Book
A pp. 99-102 for Muscogee Co, Ga with dates of 12/2/1847 (filed?), and
11/06/1848 (probated).
Does any of your records relect my line of Christmas'. Thanks so much
for your help.

It has been brought to my attention that some people thought that the
early colonists were convicts. I hope this will help those who thought
that was to understand that most of the people before the mid 1600's
were adventurers and people seeking religious freedoms.
I feel that knowing something about the country we live in is very
important in researching the people of our ancestry. The following is a
couple of examples of what I have been working on for my ideas on the
first Christmas and allied lines in America:
"In 1618 officials in London initiated a series of reforms intended to
shore up their struggling American colony. They first inaugurated a new
"headright" policy. Anyone who bought a share in the company, or who
could transport himself to Virginia, could have fifty acres, and fifty
more for any servants he might send or bring. The following year 1619,
the company relaxed its tight legal code and promised that the settlers
should have "rights of Englishmen," including a representative
assembly. On July 30, 1619, the first General Assembly of Virginia met
in the Jamestown church and deliberated for five days, "sweating and
stewing, and battling flies and mosquitoes." It was an eventful year in
two other respects. During 1619 a ship arrived with ninety "young
maidens." To be sold to likely husbands of their own choice for the cost
of transportation (about 125 pounds of tobacco). And a Dutch man-of-war
dropped off "20 Negrars," the first blacks known to have reached English
America." Some 14,000 people had migrated to the colony since 1607,
but the population in 1624 stood a precarious 1,132." {America by
Tindall p.28-29}
"If one distinctive feature of the South's staple economy was a good
market in England, another was a trend towards large-scale production.
Those who planted tobacco discovered that it quickly exhausted the soil,
thereby giving an advantage to the planter who had extra fields to
rotate in beans and corn or to leave fallow. With the increase of the
tobacco crop, moreover, a fall imprecise meant that economies of scale
might come into play - the large planter with lower cost per unit might
still make a profit. Gradually he would extend his holdings along the
reverfronts, and thereby secure the advantage of direct access to the
oceangoing vessels that moved freely up and down the waterways of the
Chesapeake. So easy was the access in fact that the Chesapeake colonies
never required a city of any size as a center of commerce.
The plantation economy depended upon manual labor, and voluntary
indentured servitude accounted for probably half the arrivals of white
settlers in all the colonies outside New England. The name derived from
indenture, or contract, by which a person could agree to labor in return
for transportation to the New World. Not all went voluntarily. The
London underworld developed a flourishing trade in "kids" and "spirits"
who were enticed or "spirited" into servitude. One servant recalled how
he and others were "stolen in Ireland" by English soldiers. Taken from
their beds during the night "against their Consents," they were whisked
away to a waiting ship, "weeping and crying." On occasion orphans were
bound off to the New World, and from time to time the mother country
sent convicts into colonial servitude, the first as early as 1617. Once
the indenture had run its course, usually after four to seven years, the
servant claimed freedom dues set by law - some money, tools, clothing,
food - and often took up landowning." {America by Tindall p.61-62}
>From this we see that some convicts came over but the majority came in
during the early 1700's.
The records on the Christmas family we find most were Indentured or
given land Patents making them respectable citizens of England or among
the "spirits" sent here.

Looking for info on ANNIE GLADDEN BRANHAM from near-by areas of Fairfield ,
Sumter or Kershaw Co SC. Her Mother was SARAH (Sallie) Ann CHRISTMUS
married to JAMES GLADDEN. Her husband's Name was HENRY BRANHAM.
Thanks,
Sarah
Well, thanks for the info, Ginger. I had a bit, but not nearly all
of it. Regarding the bit about Doctoris stealing the 3 sheep-- I
understand some "criminals" were sent to America in lieu of going to
prison? Wonder if this could have been the case with Doctoris?
Carol,
I can't help on your line, but I am forwarding this to the Christmas-List...
I am sure there is someone on it that maybe able to help you. I hope you
don't mind. The Christmas-List has some great people on it....
Good Luck in your Search,

I have visited your home page and was very impressed with your research.
i have just begun my own research into the christmas family.
My father was Daniel Webster Christmas, b.6-8-19,d.9-69.
His father was Robert Christmas ( no dates known) Robert was married to
Lottie Andrews and they had 9 children. Most are dead, others
whereabouts are unknown to my family.
I believe Daniel was born in Mecklinburg Co, NC. Lived most of his life
in Durham Co. NC.
If you have any info or suggestions on beginning this search, please
respond.
thanks,

I confess I'm not actively researching CHRISTMAS, but I am interested in
this one family. Thomas Christmas was born about 1680, lived Hanover Co.
VA, reportedly died in Bute Co. NC around 1770. LDS film 1320603/5, which
cites Warren Co. NC will book A 105109, gives the names of his children.
I am specifically interested in his daughter Elizabeth, who had a son John
Christmas. Did she marry another Christmas, or was John born out of
wedlock?
Elizabeth Christmas subsequently married Thomas PAULETT, in 1747 in Louisa
Co. VA. Thomas Paulett's will, in 1771, mentions "wife's son John
Christmas" and his own children. There are at least nine Paulett children,
and I would like to confirm which of those are Elizabeth's, and which are
children of Thomas Paulett's first wife.
John Christmas also died in the fall of 1771, probably predeceasing Thomas
Paulett by a month or so judged from the probate dates. His will Louisa
Co. book 2, p. 120, is dated 16 Sep. 1771, rcd. 14 Oct. 1771. It names
daughter Elizabeth Jackson Christmas, wife Nancy Christmas; Nancy was
executrix along with friends Waddy Thomson and Thomas Johnson Sr.

family.

In January, we discussed starting a Christmas List; we also discussed
guidelines for the List; the guidelines were presented to you and either
were approved by you or you made no objections; volunteers were request to
administer the List, but for a number of reasons, none could do it at the
time; therefore, I took the time to try to learn how to set up a List and
finally got it started in April/May.
Since we started the Christmas List about 6 months ago, only a very few
members has participated. This lack of participation has made the List an
ineffective forum. Initially, we asked each member to give a little
information on their line and any problem areas, where they needed help;
only one or two responded to that as well as other request.
I know work or personal situations takes most of your time, but is it
asking too much for each of you, to take 5-10 minutes once in a while, to
send a little information or research problem, etc. to the List.
This might be a way to use the List; I would assume most of us have a few
individuals that we cannot connect to a Christmas line; why not send the
name and information you have, and maybe someone can make a connection.
Since my Christmas line started in SC, one of the first things I did was
get all of the census information I could. This helped me get an idea of
the number of families, their names and locations, which then helped me in
knowing what courthouses to begin my search.. I have compiled a fairly
complete list of Christmas SC Census records for the 1790-1870 period.
This has been posted to our web page, address is:
http://members.aol.com/herbnet/christmas/ccxmas.html
This is another area where we can share material with the List; all of us
have some Census data and by sharing it, it might help us track our
ancestors. If each of you would begin to send me your Census references, I
would set up web pages for each state.
If I am suppose to be doing something, that I am not, to make the List more
active, please tell me and I will try to do it.

Christmas, Jr. who left his will in Warren County NC proved in May Court

the family?
