As admin of the board, I may have missed something here, but I was wondering what your message has to do with the surname Christopher?
Maybe you posted it on the wrong board by mistake? Let me know, I can remove it from the board if that is the case.
Thanks,
David

Looking for a little help if I might be so lucky on this one. I have some Beckwith ancestors, one of whom was Jeremiah (`1755-1804). Jeremiah was the brother of Henry (~1760-1836), Nehemiah Jr. (1762-1844), and I believe a Mary and Clarissa. The Beckwiths have been relatively easy to trace, but I'm at a loss on Jeremiah's wife, Catherine Wheatly. Their youngest son, who is also my ancestor is listed as Wheatly, Wheatley or Whitely Beckwith depending on the source which does not help in figuring out where she came from.

"cheers" Sharon from mountains of Idaho
Jacobus Christopher, the son of Nicholas and Ann
Christopher, married Susannah Stokes, the daughter of
Young and Elizabeth Stokes. The Stokes family were
originally from Charles City County, Virginia.
Jacobus Christopher of Lunenburg on the 29th of July,
1756, paid John Nance of Amelia £16 for a 385 acre
tract of land in Luenburg on Dry Creek. Later, on the
4th of December, 1764, Jacobus paid Benjamin Collier
of Lunenburg £16-5 for 26 acres lying on the south
side of Dry Creek in Lunenburg. On these tracts the
family probably resided until his death in 1774.
Jacobus Christopher's will was dated March 26, 1774,
and probated August 4, 1774. To his niece Elizabeth
Blagrave, he left one negro wench. To his sister
Susannah Toone, he left a tract of land in Mecklenburg
during her life, and after her death it was to pass to
his nephew Jacobus Christopher, son of his brother
David, together with all his books and clothes, etc.
To Susannah Christopher Thompson, he left four negroes
when she was married or reached the age of 18. If she
left no heirs, the negroes were to be equally divided
among his and his wife Susannah's brothers and
sisters. To his wife, he left the legacy left by her
father, Young Stokes.
Henry Stokes was the executor of the will of Jacobus
Christopher, deceased. On April 9, 1778, he left to
Mary Wallace and John Blankenship a tract of land
which Jacobus Christopher in his lifetime had agreed
to sell to Thomas Murry consisting of 50 acres on a
branch of Dry Creek for £30. And whereas John
Blankenship was assignee of Thomas Murry, Chancery
Court granted the land to John Blankenship instead of
to Susannah Christopher Thompson, to whom the land
descended according to the will. John Blankenship was
an infant and gave the land to Mary Wallace during her
life and then to come to him.

Nicholas and Ann Christopher left several children,
who were not mentioned in his will of 1754. Shortly
before his death, on February 18, 1750-51, out of love
and affection which he bore to his son David
Christopher, he granted to David 194 acres of land in
Lunenburg.
On September 7, 1758, John Christopher of Anson County
of the Province of North Carolina out of love and
affection for his brother David Christopher of
Lunenburg County, Virginia, gave to David three
negroes, Will, David and Jane and the future increase
of Jane.
On May 3, 1760, David Christopher of Lunenburg paid
Richard Haggard of Lunenburg £80 for 62 acres in
Lunenburg. On the 7th of May, 1762, David Christopher
of Lunenburg paid Lewis Burwell of James City County
£156-7-9 half penny for 390 acres in Lunenburg. Again
on September 8, 1763, David paid Benjamin Collier £20
for 100 acres on Dry Creek and £100 for 194 acres on
both sides of Dry Creek in Lunenburg.
At the August Term of Court in 1764 for Lunenburg,
David Christopher took the usual oath to his Majesty
the King and was appointed Captain of Militia for
Lunenburg.
Sometime following this, although possessed of
considerable real estate in Lunenburg, Captain David
Christopher removed to the County of Mecklenburg in
Virginia. While living in Mecklenburg, on the 7th of
February, 1778, he paid his nephew Morton Christopher
of Culpeper County, Virginia, £300 for 200 acres lying
on both sides of Dry Creek in Lunenburg "and is the
land that my grandfather Nicholas Christopher gave to
my father William Christopher."
Also on the 7th of February, 1778, Morton Christopher
of Culpeper granted a Power of Attorney to his uncle
David Christopher of Mecklenburg to collect what was
due to him from his grandfather's estate, willed to
his father William Christopher:
"Know all men by these presents that I Morton
Christopher of the County of Culpepper, have made,
ordained, constituted and by these presents do make,
ordain and constitute and in my place and stead put
and despute my trust and loving Uncle David
Christopher of the County of Mecklenburg my true and
lawful attorney for me and in my name and for my use
to ask, demand, sue for, levy, recover and receive all
the ready Money, goods and chattels that my grand
father Nicholas Christopher of the County of Lunenburg
willed to my father William Christopher bearing date
February, 1754, which are or shall be due me from any
person or persons holding the same whatsoever in the
County of Lunenburg, giving and granting unto my said
Attorney by these presents my full and whole power
strength and authority in and about the said ready
money goods and chattels. To have use and to take all
lawful ways and means in my name for the recovery
thereof. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand and seal this day of _________1778.
Morton Christopher M C
Wits: Ambrose Christopher; Wm. Christopher; Jno.
Griffin."
Two years later on March 18, 1780, David Christopher
of Mecklenburg sold to Frederick Nance of Lunenburg
for £5000 200 acres on Dry Creek in Lunenburg:
"David Christopher of Mecklenburg County to Frederick
Nance of Lunenburg for £5000, 200 Acres on Dry Creek
in Lunenburg, bounded as is described in a Patent for
the same to Nicholas Christopher reference being
thereunto had may appear being the same which Jacobus
Christopher, dec'd. lately possessed and by the said
Jacobus Christopher dying without issue descended to
the heir of William Christopher by virtue of the will
of Nicholas Christopher sold and purchased of him by
the said David."

William Christopher was also heard of a family in 1734
and on Aug. 25, 1741 the executors of Alexander
Spotswood deeded to William Christopher 150 acres
"during the lifetime of William Christopher and Morton
Christopher his son (Orange Co. D. B. 6, p. 111).
William deeded this land to Thomas Jones July 28, 1743
(Deed B. 7 p. 356). Morton Christopher son of William
Married about 1765/6 Elizabeth Wayland, daughter of
Adam Wayland and grand daughter of Thomas Wayland the
later Germanna pioneer (See Wayland) and the birth of
their 9 Children born 1767-1795 are shown in Keith (p.
242).
Name: William CHRISTOPHER 1
Sex: M
Birth: ABT. 1700 in Richmond Co., Virginia
Death: BEF. 18 MAY 1772 in Charlotte Co., Virginia
Note: from "Haley and Related Families" by Edward F.
Haley
The remaining son of Nicholas and Ann Christopher was
William Christopher, who was born about 1700 and who
married Elizabeth Haley, the daughter of Edward and
Catherine Haley, of Orange. On the 25th of August,
1741, William and Elizabeth leased a tract of land
from the Estate of Governor Alexander Spottswood.
Governor Spottswood had died probably in 1740 (as his
will was dated April 19, 1740), leaving two sons, John
and Robert Spottswood. This lease was to William and
Elizabeth, who then had a son Morton, perhaps their
oldest child. The land lay on the north side of the
Rapidan River in Orange and was a part of the
"Spottsylvania Tract."
It is not known when William and Elizabeth Haley
Christopher moved to the south. His father Nicholas
had given to William a tract of land consisting of 200
acres lying on both sides of Dry Creek in the present
County of Lunenburg. This tract eventually became the
property of William and Elizabeth's son Morton
Christopher. Instead of moving southward as most of
the family seems to have done, Morton elected to
remain in Culpeper. On February 7, 1778, Morton
Christopher sold for £300 the 200 acre tract on Dry
Creek, which had formerly belonged to his father
William, to his Uncle David Christopher, then living
in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, "and is the land that
my grand father Nicholas Christopher gave to my father
William Christopher."
William Christopher and family probably lived for some
time on this tract which his father had given him, but
for some reason they decided to move from the northern
and eastern section of Lunenburg to the southwestern
section of Charlotte, a distance of about forty miles.
On the 10th of January, 1767, William and Elizabeth
purchased from John Haley a tract of land in the lower
part of Charlotte, as is shown from this indenture:
"This Indenture made this 10th day of January in the
year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and
Sixty-seven between John Haily of the County of
Charlotte of the one part and William Christopher of
the said County of the other part, Witnesseth: that
the said John Hailey for and in consideration of the
sum of Fifty Pounds Current Money of Virginia to him
in hand paid by the said William Christopher hath
given, granted, bargained, and sold, and by these
presents doth give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm
unto the said Christopher, his heirs, and assigns
forever one certain Tract or Parcel of Land containing
145 Acres, more or less, lying in the County of
Charlotte aforesaid on the middle Fork of Sandy Creek
and bounded as followeth: ______."
Among the witnesses was Ambrose Christopher.
On this tract they apparently resided for the next
five years, or until the death of William. His will
dated May 15, 1771, was admitted to probate in the
County of Charlotte on July 6, 1772, though he had
been dead for some time prior to this. In accordance
with his will, he left to his son James Christopher
one half of his land; the remaining half was to go to
his son Ambrose Christopher, after the death of his
wife Elizabeth. To his daughter Sarah Christopher, he
left one cow; and to his daughter Melley Christopher,
he left a bed and furniture. He had other children,
not mentioned, including Morton Christopher of
Culpeper County, Virginia, as well as probably William
Christopher. It would appear that these two sons and
daughters were residing with their parents at this
time, while the others were probably established
elsewhere. In accordance with the will of Nicholas
Christopher of 1754, his estate was to go to his son
Jacobus, and then to the heirs of Jacobus, provided he
left any, otherwise the estate was to go to his son
William Christopher and to his heirs. It was of course
known that William had children at the time the will
was written. The estate of Nicholas Christopher was of
course in the possession of his son Jacobus following
the testator's death, and so remained until the death
of Jacobus, which occurred several years after the
death of his brother William. As Jacobus died without
issue, the estate of Nicholas Christopher descended to
the heirs of his son William Christopher. Four of the
heirs of William inherited from their father's estate;
now all of his children inherited from their
grandfather Nicholas. On the 7th of February, 1778,
Morton Christopher gave a Power of Attorney to his
uncle to represent him in the division of the estate.

Name: Nicholas CHRISTOPHER
Sex: M
Birth: ABT. 1670
Death: 1754
Note:
from "Haley and Related Families" by Edward F. Haley
Nicholas Christopher was born about 1670. On the 24th
of January, 1707, he bought a tract of one hundred
acres lying in Richmond County from Nathaniel Jackson.
This was probably the home of the family for a number
of years, but on the second of June, 1714, he and his
wife Ann and their son John Christopher sold the tract
of land to John Favor for their natural lives, for two
thousand pounds of tobacco. This would appear to be
the sale of a life estate to the tract of land, not to
be terminated until the death of the parents and death
of the son John Christopher.
Nicholas and Ann Christopher appear to have lived many
years in the Fredericksburg area. They and their
children seem to have leased lands from the
Spottswoods and perhaps Fairfax grants. Absolute
ownership seems not to have been allowed. They paid
their rent, or tax to the owners, without ever having
title in their own names. Perhaps the rent paid was
not much different from the taxes paid by residents of
the state outside of these Royal grants. After the
Revolution, the grants from the King terminated and
absolute ownership was possible, but this would not
occur until long after the death of Nicholas
Christopher.
When a large section of Southside Virginia was opened
for settlement, Nicholas Christopher moved to the
section and patented lands on Dry Creek in the present
County of Lunenburg and near the present Lunenburg
Court House. Here he resided the remainder of his
life, dying in 1754, eight years after the creation of
the county. Nicholas and Ann Christopher left several
children, whose names appear in his will:
"In the name of God, Amen. I Nicholas Christopher
being very sick and weak in body, but of Perfect mind
and memory do make publish and declare this my last
Will and Testament in manner and form following. I do
hereby revoke and make void all former will or wills
by me heretofore made.
First I bequeath my soul into ye hands of Almighty God
that Gave it and my body to ye Earth to be buried in a
Christian Like and Decent Manner at ye Discretion of
my Executor and the Worldly Estate I have my will is
it be disposed in the manner following, Viz:
Imp. That my Just Debts be justly Discharged.
Item: I give and bequeath to my well beloved wife Ann
Christopher all my ready monies, lands, chattels
household goods and moveables as long as she liveth
and after her decease for it all and singular to fall
to my son Jacobus Christopher and his heirs lawfully
begotten of his body, and for want of such heirs my
will is it falleth my son William Christopher and his
heirs. My Will and desire is that if my wife after my
decease should purchase a negro, after my said wife's
decease that ye negro be sold and equally divided
between my two daughters, Mary Fennel and Susannah
Toon, and I do again revoke and make void all other
wills by me made and published and declare this to be
my last Will and Testament. In Testimony whereof I
have hereunto set my hand and seal this 11th day of
February in ye year of our Lord 1754. Memo. that the
little boy Alexander Howard shall go to his mother
after my decease.

(Probated 3/5/1754)
Jacobus and David Christopher acted as securities for
Ann Christopher to administer the estate.
Nicholas Christopher, whatever the reason, left all of
his estate to his son Jacobus, after the death of his
wife Ann, the date of whose death is not known.
Nicholas and Ann Christopher left several children,
who were not mentioned in his will of 1754. Shortly
before his death, on February 18, 1750-51, out of love
and affection which he bore to his son David
Christopher, he granted to David 194 acres of land in
Lunenburg. On September 7, 1758, John Christopher of
Anson County of the Province of North Carolina out of
love and affection for his brother David Christopher
of Lunenburg County, Virginia, gave to David three
negroes, Will, David and Jane and the future increase
of Jane.
The Germanna Records, 1717
Number Six, June 1965, 3rd printing 1980
Page 56-57
7. Nicholas Christopher may not have been a German at
all, and he and his two sons, John and William did
not move to the Robinson River section with the 1717
colony, but continued to live in Orange Co. However he
appears in the Spotsylvania Co. Records very early and
in 1734 he is shown in the tithables of Orange Co.
with 2 tithables in his family as "-----laus
Christopher" which may indicate the German name,
Nikolaus (William and Mary College Quarterly, First
Series, Vol 27, p. 19). His two sons John and William
appear in this same list, John with 9 tibhables and
William with two. The first appearance of Nicholas
Christopher that I have found was on April 2, 1723
when he sued John Hix in Spotsylvania Co.
(Spotsylvania W. B. "A" p. 26). On Feb. 2, 1725/6
"John Christopher infant by Nicholas Christopher his
next friend sued Edward Southwell (same p. 94). This
record indicates that John was the son of Nicholas.
On July 20, 1736 Nicholas Christopher was granted 400
acres on the Rapidan River (Orange Co. Grants Book 17,
p. 130), and on May 8, 1741 John and Francis
Taliaferro of Caroline Co deeded to Nicholas
Christopher 150 acres, "during the natural lives of
Nicholas Christopher, John Christopher and William
Christopher" (Orange Co. D.B. 4, p. 421) This deed
shows that John and William were both sons of
Nicholas.
Nicholas had an earlier rant jointly with William
Phillips Aug. 17, 1727, as shown by a deed from him on
May 24, 1744 to William Beale for 572 acres, part of
the land having been granted to him and Phillips in
1727 and the rest to him alone in 1736 (Orange Co. W.
B. 9 p. 80). Of the sons John Christopher was head of
a family in 1734 in Orange Co., and witnessed deeds of
Edward Ballenger, who may have been a son of Andrew
Ballenger, the 1717 colonist, in 1736 (Orange Co. D.
B. 1, pp. 249 and 253).

Hope this helps someone later.
Pat
I am pulling this from memory, and I may not be
correct, ya'll correct me if I am right....
In the Christopher research we have been trying to do
these many years, there seems to be at least 3 major
groups of Christopher's.
The Christopher Christophers group that were around
Staten Island if I remember correct, that bunch are
some of the same that move down to Maryland,
Pennsylvania, maybe West Virginia, and then Spicer and
some of his family go down to Florida, Georgia,
Carolina's, back and forth. I think some of this same
group was also the New London bunch, many of this
group seemed to be seafarers if my memory serves me?
Then there were the Northumberland Christopher's, I
don't know a whole lot about the families migration,
some remain in Virginia I believe, others went to
South Carolina around Spartanburg, into Cherokee
County, Georgia, on to Alabama, and Mississippi I
believe some may have gone into Texas. Then a large
segment of them moved west from Va. into Kentucky on
to Missouri, etc...
Then there is the Nicholas Christopher group, not to
be confused with the younger Nicholas Christopher that
came out of New York and I believe went into
Pennsylvania. Our Nicholas was born around 1670 or so,
came to Virginia as an indentured servant as a young
boy. Most of his descendants came south, into and
through the Carolina's, into Georgia, where many
stayed, though a fair number went west into Alabama,
Mississippi, etc. Some of the early family seemed to
go into Kentucky, Tennessee, our family records seem
scattered, as we seem to lose many of our members from
the late 1700's into the early 1800's, so we have not
been able to fill our tree and know we have many
family members out there, but are unable to get enough
data to include them in our tree. Which I believe to
be par for many of us researchers for that time
period.
This is just a call from memory as I stated, if I have
any of the info wrong, I am sure I will get corrected.
Consider this a message to get us thinking, talking
about what we do know, maybe we can uncover some small
piece of info that may prove useful to someone in one
of these, or other groups..
David
