I forgot to mention that the younger William who goes to Eutaw County,
Alabama seems to have some connection with John Anderson Christopher of
Blairsville, Georgia, as it seems that after the Civil War was over, a free
slave, who worked for and with William Christopher over in Gadsden, Alabama,
named John Nathan Christopher(free slave),left Gadsden, Alabama with John
Anderson Christopher to go back and work with him in a gold mine operation
in Blairsville, Georgia. This, to me, says that this William of Coweta, born
Halifax, Va. 1813, is for sure connected to our Nicholas Christopher, and
may well be the William of 1818 from Abbeville District SC, though I can't
prove it.

I have an idea, we always look at this that and the other, trying to piece
our families history together. I wonder if it would do any good to talk
about the various trades that our ancestors practiced? Maybe there's a few
hidden clues with linking some of these different families by looking at the
types of work that we knew them to do?
David
Like this:
There were 2 William Christopher's in Coweta County, Georgia, back in the
1830's-1860.
The younger William moved most of his family to Eutaw County, Al. in the mid
1800's. This William claimed a birthplace of Halifax County, Va, around 1813
or so, he was a blacksmith by trade, and many of his family carried on the
same line of work. This is the William that married the Hardy sisters. I
suspect that this William may somehow connect to our line. To me, this
William fits the profile of the William that is Buckner Griffin's brother
from the Abbeville guardianship of 1818. I don't remember where Buckner
claimed his birth, but I remember he claimed his father was born in NC. I
suppose this could still work, maybe they lived right at the state line,
that would put them around Orange County NC I think? Then for work reasons,
they cross the state line and William is born in Halifax, Va., instead of
NC?
The older William claimed a birthplace of SC, and would date around 1787. He
claimed his line of work as a pauper/miller. His wife was named Lillie, I
suppose this is the William Christopher that married Lillie Story. In the
1860 Coweta Census, William claims 73 as his age, and his wife Lillie is 71.
I believe this William to be the father of Isabella Caroline Christopher
that marries James Garrison in 1843, as both Isabella and James claim SC as
their birthplace, Isabella and James end up over in Arkansas, though I can't
remember exactly where. I also believe this William to be the father of the
Nancy Christopher that marries James F. Story. It appears that James dies
early, maybe from the war, and Nancy lives in northwestern Georgia a while,
before moving to Texas with some of her family. I have a family sheet worked
up by a Mr. Don Hull, Sugarland, Texas. In it, he claims that Nancy was of
Scottish descent, and that she lived to be 103 years of age. While I don't
know this, I suspect that this William is part of the Christopher's I have
heard about that came to Abbeville straight from Ireland, and may not have
any connection with Nicholas Christopher?
Thanks,
David
I haven't seen any reference to this marriage, or these names in my
research, but I am sure someone on the board will be able to help you out.
What time frames are we looking at?

Rutherford Co, NC who migrated to Hall/Lumpkin Co, GA. I descend through

from NC>SC. John and Caroline had 7 children, William A., Daniel James
Jarrett, Thomas Franklin, Boyd, John Jr., Benjamin Joesph, and Mary
Christopher. From what we know, these people were involved in the cotton
industry and as such may have moved back and forth between Georgia, SC,
and maybe NC, Tn.? In 1900 it is reported that Ambrose and Caroline were
living in Walton County Georgia. It is also reported that they were buried
in the
High Shoals Baptist Church graveyard, High Shoals Georgia.

Jimmy Christopher, jimmy.christopher(a)gte.net
I descend from Nicholas Christopher who arrived in Va. about 1695.
Nicholas lived in Richmond, Spotsylvania, Orange, & Lunenburg Counties;
he died in Lunenburg Co. in 1753 or 1754. His wife was Ann or Anna.
I descend by the following male line:
David (about 1720 -1783 or 1784) married and Elizabeth (some evidence that
she was a Grigg)
William (about 1760 - 1820) (married Lucy Jones daughter of Richard Jones
of Halifax Co. Va.)
Richard (about 1792 -1863) married Martha Akins (who are her parents?)
William (about 1828 - 1903 or 1904) married a Eliza Barker (who are her
parents?)
John Franklin (1853 -1913) married Sarah (Sally) Frances Giles
Emmett (1902 - 1996) married Myrt Evans
Frank (1921 -1991) (married Inez Walker)
Most of the above dates are estimates.
I am searching for others who may descend from this line.
Also I am searching for the maiden names of the wives and
the parents of the wives of the older of the above males.
I am willing to share what little I know about the above.
