Jacob Christopher and family
by Sandra and Charlie Cain
Hi, I am new to this listing so will begin with what I have:
Jacob Christopher
born 4-25-1825 near Dayton, Ohio
died 4-15-1915 Wichita, Kansas
married Sarah Ann Fisher 12-28-1848 in Jersey, Illinois
6 children:
Ada Christopher married Edmond J. Huff, lived in Girard, Illinois
Ida Christopher married W. P. Hindes, lived in Mitchell, Kansas. Ada
and Ida were twins.
Sarah Frances Christopher married C. W. Miner, lived in Girard,
Illinois
Mary Jane (Mollie) Christopher married M. J. Beatty, lived in Handen,
North Dakota
George C. Christopher born in 1859, married Carrie ?, lived in
Wichita, Kansas
Jacob J Christopher, the youngest, was born 7-20-1871 near Nilwood,
Illinois, married Maria Prunella "Nella" Ewalt (this is my line)
I think the first Jacob had a brother John Christopher, who lived in
Beatrice, NE (John had already died by the time Jacob died in 1914)
Other brothers were Edward Christopher of Bucklin, Kansas and Adam
Christopher of Jerseyville, IL and a sister Mrs. Henry Whyte, also of
Jerseyville, IL ( this information comes from Jacob's obit)
I know nothing of his parents or where they came from. Any help would
be appreciated.
Thank you, Sandra Cain sanchas(a)kanza.net
