Searching for the above stated or any ancestors or descendents. Had at least three children, Una, Samuel and Jack. Samuel left his family at the age of 16 to Saskatchwan. Una it was believed died in Texas about 1980.
David, Below is research sent to me by Nancy Kiser, I think that it will
be of interest to you and other Christophers. And you might help prove
her theory of Nicholas Christopher's wife's parentage. She has done
quite a bit of research on the Phillips and Christophers. I have her
permission to share this with you.

Note:
Barbara,
Based on the following records, I believe that Ann, the wife of Nicholas
Christopher, was the daughter of William and Susannah Williams Phillips
of Richmond County, VA:
6/6/1677 Will of Roger Williams recorded in Old Rappahannock
County. Dated 2/26/1675. To my two sons Roger Williams and Shadrack
Williams I doe give 225 acres of land apiece. . .to wife Joane Williams
I doe give the Plantation with 200 acres of land. . .wherein she is at
this present living. To eldest daughter Betty one heifer. . . Wit:
Gerrard Greenwood, Robert Sisson.
4/11/1685 Lewis Loyd and wife Joane of Rappahannock County
conveyed land to William Phillips beginning upon the line of Roger
Williams at a Hickory running a line of marked trees right across to the
line of John Harford and another Morgan and the said part of the land
so warranted is that part next to the House Bridge Swamp (Joane/Joan
was the widow of Roger Williams and William Phillips was her son-in-law,
married to her daughter Susannah Williams. This and other data
indicates that William Phillips and Susannah Williams were probably
married by 1685 my guess is by 1680. Using an average age of 25
for male marriages in colonial times, this means William was born about
1655.)
11/5/1690 Will of Lewis Loyd of Rappahannock Co, planter, written
4/24/1687. To grandchild Ann Phillips a cow calfe. To Henry Thornton
son of Roger Thornton a cow calfe. To Elizabeth Phillips a cow calfe.
To be paid them at discretion of Executrix. To Ruth Williams my
daughter in law the first mare colte as either of my mares bring. To
my loving wife Joane Loyd my whole heire and sole Executrix of all my
lands goods chattels & cattle. Teste: William (X) Smith, age 39 or so,
and William Davis, age 48 or so. (This indicates that William and
Susannah Phillips had daughters named Ann and Elizabeth by 1687. My
guess is they were born in the early 1680s.)
12/14/1692 Grant to Joane Loyd, widow and administratrix of Lewis
Loyd, decd, late of Rappa. Co. and parish of Northfarnham, 159 acres
adjoining land of Roger Williams in above parish and County formerly
surveyed and taken up by her decd husband Lewis Loyd as by Survey dated
February the 6th 1681 under the hand of Mr. Edwin Conway the which
survey and benefit thereof the said Loyd gave to his Wife by his last
Will
8/1/1695 Be it known unto all men by these presents that Joan
Loyd do assign over all my right & interest of the within conveyance of
159 acres of land excepting my widowhood unto William Phillips his heirs
and assigns. Witness: Grace Rider, Hen: Shalter. Joan gave power of
attorney to her trusty and faithful friend William Davis to acknowledge
the instrument. Recorded 8/29/1695 in Richmond County.
2/2/1703-04 Will of Joan Lloyd dated 1/8/1703-04. Daughter:
Susannah, wife of William Phillips. Son: Shaddrack Williams. Daughter:
Anne, wife of James Debord. Daughter: Ruth, wife of John Canterbury.
Granddaughter: Elizabeth Thornhill. Daughter-in-Law: Elizabeth
Williams. Son-in-Law: George Thompson. To every one of my
granddaughters as much linen as will make them an apron. To
granddaughter Susan Phillips and grandson John MDaniel: one heifer at
Stanley Garvers. George Thompson, executor. Wit: Robert Thomas,
Deborah Thomas, William Yeats. Richmond County Wills and Inventories
1699-1709, Pg 65. (This indicates that William and Susannah Phillips
had a daughter named Susan, in addition to Ann and Elizabeth.)
11/3/1708 John Meades of Parish of North Farnham, Richmond County,
was summoned to appear at the next Court to answer petition of Grand
Jury against him for living licentiously and voluptuously together with
one Susanna Phillips, spinster, since June 1, 1708. (This summons was
dropped because apparently John and Susanna got married. In the will of
John Meade dated 10/7/1713, he mentions his wife Susannah and an unnamed
child. William Phillips and John Newman witnessed the will. Susanna
Meads, widow, remarried to John Ford in June of 1713. This Susannah
Phillips is probably the daughter of William and Susannah Williams
Phillips. The William Phillips who witnessed the will of John
Meade was probably her brother or father.)
7/27/1711 George Thompson and wife Rebekah of Richmond County sold
40 acres in Richmond County to Patte Haill, sawyer, of the same County.
Lines: George Thompson, Thomas Herford, Horse Bridge Swamp.
Witnesses: William and Susannah Phillips. (Rebecca Thompson was the
daughter of Joan Williams Lloyd, and the sister of Susannah Phillips.)
8/1713 Marriage license to Leonard Phillips and Elizabeth Favor
recorded in Richmond County. (Leonard may have been the son of William
and Susannah Phillips. Elizabeth was probably the daughter or sister of
John Faver/Favor above who purchased land from Robert and Anne Jordon.
According to info on the net, John Favor was born about 1672 in France
or Essex Co VA and married 1st Mary Wells who was born about 1685 in
Northumberland Co. VA. He married 2nd Susanna. Johns will is dated
9/22/1722. Other of his children were named Winnifred, Theophilus, John
and Mary. He may have had two sons named John, one by his first wife
Mary and one by his second wife Susanna. Elizabeth was supposedly
born/baptized 11/25/1699 in Richmond Co, so she was only 14 when she
married Leonard.)
10/7/1713 Administrators Bond recorded in Richmond County for
William Phillips Junr. and his wife Ann to administer estate of William
Yeats deced. Securities: William Phillips and Nicholas Christopher.
(William Yeats/Yates was the husband of Elizabeth Jacobus. William
Phillips Jr., the son of William and Susannah Phillips, may have been
married to Ann Yeats/Yates, the sister of William Yeats. William Jr.
must have been at least 21 years old by 1713 to serve as administrator.
Nicholas Christopher was probably married to Williams sister, Ann.)
4/7/1714 Sheriff ordered to summon William Phillips to Richmond
County Court to answer petition of Francis Yeats. (Francis Yeats was
the brother of William Yeats. Both of them were probably Williams
brothers-in-law.)
6/2/1714 Indenture between Nicholas Christopher, Anne his Wife
and John Christopher, their son, of the Parish of Northfarnham in the
County of Richmond of one part and John Faver of the aforesaid Parish
and County of the other part; Witnesseth that Nicholas Christopher, Anne
his Wife and John Christopher their Son. . .for the sum of 2,000 pounds
of tobacco. . .hath demised granted and letten unto John Faver. . .one
half of the land bought by Nicholas Christopher from Nathaniel Jackson.
. .on 1/24/1707. . .which land computed to 100 acres. . .50 acres of
which Christopher nows sells to John Faver. . .lines: John Faver,
Nicholas Christophers now dwelling plantation, Richard Wisdall.
Witnesses: Leonard Phillips, Daniel Carell, Ann Denahin. (I think that
Anne, wife of Nicholas Christopher, was probably the daughter of William
and Susannah Phillips. This Leonard Phillips was probably the son of
William and Susannah, the Leonard Phillips who married Elizabeth Faver
in 1713. J!ohn Faver Jr. is probably Elizabeths brother or father.)
6/3/1714 Petition of Francis Yeats against William Phillips
concerning Ellinor Yeats one of the daughters of William Yeats, decd,
is dismist. Richmond County Court.
9/1/1714 John Pendergrass, an Orphan Son of James Pendergrass,
late of this County, was brought before Court by Susanna Phillips who
prayed that the said John Pendergrass should be bound to her husband
William Phillips. James Pendergrass, brother of the said John, objected
against it and prayed that he might have the charge and tuition, which
was granted, he paying William Phillips for the maintaining and bringing
up of said John. (According to information on the internet, James
Pendergrass died in North Farnham Parish in 1705. His son John was born
in 1697. It appears that William and Susannah Phillips raised John
Pendergrass from the age of 8 to the age of 17. They must have been
related in some way. The sources on the internet claim that a William
Phillips was married to ______ Pendergrass, Johns aunt. However, we
know from the records that Susannah was the daughter of Joan and Roger
Williams.)
12/2/1714 William Phillips Junior was bound over to Richmond
County Court by John Tayloe Gent, Justice of the Peace, on suspicion of
Hogg stealing, and he is ordered to give security for good behavior for
one year. George Gaydon goes his bond for £10 sterling.
10/5/1715 Elizabeth Yeats, Orphan of William Yeats, is bound to
William Phillips until she arrives at the age of 18, she now being 8
years old in December past. Richmond County Court.
4/4/1716 In an action of debt between William Fantleroy, Plt and
Leonard Phillips Deft, the Deft failing to give Speciall Bail. . .he is
therefore committed to Sheriffs custody and an Imparlance is granted him
until next Richmond County Court. (William Fantleroy was the son of
Moore Fantleroy, the administrator of the estate of John Phillips who
died in Lancaster County in 1655.)
5/3/1716 In an action of Debt between William Fantleroy Plt and
Leonard Phillips Deft for 663 pounds of tobacco, Charles Barber Gent
came into Richmond County Court and entered himself Speciall Bail for
the Deft & thereupon the Deft confest Judgment unto the Plt. (Charles
Barber b. 1676 d. 1727 in Richmond Co married Frances Glasscock about
1700. Charles may have been the natural son of Dorothy Barber, the
sister of Capt. William Barber. He may have been adopted by Capt.
Barber.)
8/9/1718 Deed from William Phillips of Farnham Parish, Richmond
County to Henry Walker of St. Pauls Parish, New Kent County, for £20,
100 acres bounded by Henry Wyatt.
Wit: Thomas Newman, Francis Yeats. (This deed was recorded in Henrico
County.)
6/3/1719 Administrators Bond for Robert Davis to administer
estate of Richard Davis. Securities Francis Yeats and William Phillips
of Richmond County.
8/4/1719 Patent granted to William Phillips for 100 acres in
Richmond County adjoining lands of Clark Fantleroy and said Phillips own
land.
12/7/1720 Thomas Phillips & Mary his Wife, John Brown & William
Phillips of County of Richmond are held and firmly bound. . .in the sum
of £100 sterling . . to guaranty that Thomas and Mary will properly
administer the estate of John Dailey, decd. (According to information
on the internet, Thomas Phillips was born 10/27/1684 and died 11/1/1739
in North Farnham Parish. His wife Mary was the widow of John Dailey.
Thomas Phillips supposedly was the son of John and Elizabeth
Tobias/Simpson Phillips. I suspect that William Phillips was his
cousin. I suspect that this Thomas Phillips moved to Spotsylvania
County, where he appears as an overseer for Capt. John Taliaferro in
1724. He disappeared from Richmond County in 1722.)
1/22/1722-23 William Phillips came into Richmond County Court and
acknowledged his deed for land. . .unto John Yeats, which was admitted
to record. Ann Phillips, wife of said William, appeared in court.
(William and Ann appear to have moved to Spotsylvania County soon after
this, probably right after the death of his father in 1725. William
Phillips served on several juries in Spotsylvania County in 1727.)
12/2/1723 Survey for William Garland, 101 acres being part of
patent to Henry Thornton dated 7/5/1695; house on plat, in Northfarnham
Parish, Richmond County, adjacent the land of William Garland, Joseph
Russell, Angell Jacobus, William Phillips, Honorable Proprietors of the
Northern Neck, Burdit, Thornton. Surveyor James Thomas.
12/1/1725 Will of William Phillips recorded in Richmond County.
Witnesses: William Hodgkinson and Jean Wilkinson. (Unfortunately, the
will itself is missing.)
1/17/1726 Will of Susannah Phillips recorded in Richmond County.
Son David land and plantation I now live on. Daughter: Catherine.
David Phillips, executor. Wit: John Branham, James Wilkinson, Robert
Taylor.
4/6/1726 David Phillips and Roger Williams posted bond in
Richmond County for the administration of the estate of Susannah
Phillips.
12/6/1726 On petition of Thomas Phillips he is discharged from
being overseer of the Road from ye Pine Stake to ambroes Madisons
plantation to Capt John Taliaferros Quarter and Nicholas Christopher is
appointed in his room & ordered that all the tithables that lives about
Capt John Taliaferros quarter do help him cleare the same. Spotsylvania
County records.
8/17/1727 William Phillips and Nicholas Christopher patented 345
acres in Spotsylvania County. (I believe that William Phillips and
Nicholas Christopher were brothers-in-law.)
8/6/1728 Indenture between David Phillips of County of Richmond
and Pish of Northfarnham of one part and George Thomson of the aforesaid
County of Pish of other part: Witnesseth that David Phillips in
consideracon of 1500 pounds of tobacco to him in hand paid by George
Thomson. . .hath and by these presents doth bargain sell and release
unto George Thomson. . .all that parcel of land containing 50 acres. .
.being a part of a tract of land formerly granted to Jone Loyd, Admrx to
Lewis Loyd, deced, containing 159 acres which Patent is dated 2/6/1681.
. .Witnesses: Jos: Russell Junr and Thomas Lewis. Mary Phillips, the
wife of David Phillips, appeared in Court and relinquished her right
of dower in the land conveyed in the Deed unto the said George Thomson.
(David and Mary Phillips appear to have moved to Spotsylvania County
shortly after this. William and Ann Phillips sold land to David
Phillips in Spotsylvania County in 1730.)
6/5/1736 Patent granted to David Phillips in Orange County for
£1. 200 acres in the fork of the Rappidanne River beginning on a branch
of Beautiful Run, up Michaels Branch, adjoining Nicholas Christopher.
7/20/1736 Patent granted to Nicholas Christopher in Orange County
for £2. 400 acres in the fork of the Rappidanne River beginning at
corner to the land granted to Christopher and Philips on a branch of
Beautiful Run.
According to "A History of Orange County, Virginia", Nicholas
Christopher emigrated out of Orange County around 1740.
