I'm searching for information on the CHRISTY who lived in Claiborne Parish in
the mid 1800s. They were from MISSOURI and PA prior to that
John CHRISTY married Harriett BARTLETT Jan of 1850 in Claiborne Parish.
John's father THOMAS is found on the 1830 and 1840 census enumeration for
Claiborne Parish LA. Thomas CHRISTY had these children:

The CHRISTY's came into LA from Missouri. I believe Thomas was also a member
of the Masons in St Louis. I found an inscription on his son James headstone
at the very base. Most is unreadable except the end which says St. Louis
Missouri. I know that James was a member in Winn Parish but it couldn't have
referred to him as he was only a few years old when they migrated to LA.
I've searched the beautiful Claiborne Parish courthouse at Homer but sadly
there are no probate or succession records on Thomas. He last appears in the
Claiborne census in 1840. Only two of his children are found on the 1850
census so I fear some of them must have been missed as they weren't in Union
Parish either.
Thanks much!

Dear Christy Listers,
Someone asked me what page the photo of my grandfather, James Wm.
Christy, Jr. (1893-1968) is on in the MyFamily.com Valentine photo
contest. Click on the url below and you can search by either Name of
Entrant (mary cervantes) OR by
TITLE ("my grandparents") ... 2 photos pop up with that title, the
Christy photo is the one on the right.
Vote if you like or (even better!) if you are a descendant of James Wm.
Christy SR. (my g-grandfather) by one of his other sons-- Jefferson
Christy or Jerome Christy, please let me know! Thomas Christy/Christie
(183?- 1893) is my brick wall. We do not know where he was born--Ohio
maybe. Is Thomas the son of Samuel & Eliza Christy???

Dear Christy-List, (sent Monday, Feb. 14)
I have entered a photo of my grandparents in the MyFamily.com
Valentine's Day photo contest.
My maternal grandparents are James Wm. Christy, Jr. (1893-1968) and Mary
Louise Gertrude Christy (nee Schmidt) (1895-1986) and the photo was
taken July 4, 1917, at the Cincinnati Zoo. Grandma is wearing a
gorgeous white dress and her face is almost hidden by a wide
wide-brimmed hat trimmed in satin. They are looking at each other and
"puckering up" in a very polite manner. It seemed like a good one to
submit for Valentine's Day, and I hope all you Christy's out there will
vote for this photo!
My grandpa was the son of James Wm Christy, Sr.(1858-1901), and
Priscilla Frances Bush (1854-1934), and they were m. in Gallia Co. OH on
30 April 1878.
My gg-grandparents were Thomas Christy (183?-1893) and Jemima
Hughs/Hughes (1822?-1890) and they were m. 3 October 1851 in Gallia Co.
Ohio, too. They had 2 other sons: Jefferson Christy who m. Edie
Farmer in Lawrence Co. OH, and Jerome Christy who m. Susan Bailey in
Mason Co., Va (now WVa).
If you would like to see the photo, just click on the url above, and
then on the b&w photo of the couple on the right (Will & Gert Christy,
July 4, 1917, at the Cincinnati Zoo). Then scroll down to the bar where
it says "Vote for this Picture" if you like.
Thanks!
