Hi J. Schoeler:
The original Christies who settled in Pennsylvania were under the leadership of Andrew Christy who was born in 1718 in Garvaugh, Ulster, Londonderry, Northern Ireland. He died after 1790 in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania. He married Mary "Margaret" Wilson in 1743 in Northern Ireland. They had three children: John born in 1744 in Kerry County, Ireland, Ann born in 1748 in Northern Ireland, and James Murphy born on 19 Jan 1752 in Ireland and who died on 15 Nov 1833. Andrew Christy and his three children came to America in 1762 and settled in Pennsylvania. Later some of their descendants migrated to Kinsman, Ohio.
The expert on this Andrew Christy from Northern Ireland and his descendants is Eduard Visser who has a 62-page manuscript about Andrew's descendants. Most of my information about Andrew and his descendants came from Ed. Here is what he sent me from the Introduction in his manuscript. "First, as to the Andrew Christy, Sr. who came from Northern Ireland in 1762, this person is very well documented in the 62-page Manuscript entitled, 'The Christy Family in America.' Eleanor Christy Kramer and Margaret Christy Ackerman Daughters of Wilbur Amos Christy compiled it. In my humble opinion, it is a very good genealogy report about the family of Andrew Christy, Sr. and his three minor children who came with him to Pennsylvania. The childrens' names were John, Ann, and James who were born in the years 1744, 1748, and 1752 respectively.
Here is what the authors had to say about Andrew Christy, Sr. who was one of the primary founders of the Christies in Pennsylvania and Kinsman, Ohio, 'ANDREW the pioneer of the Christy Family in America. He was born in the North of Ireland about 1700 in or near County Louth (Lieth) as Lurgan Green was their market place. He came to America from the County of Ulster, Londonderry, Ireland in the year 1762 and landed at Philadelphia, Pa. He brought with him his children James, John, and Ann. It is believed that his wife died previous to his coming to the United States as there is no record of her landing. Her name was either Mary or Margaret Wilson.'"
The remainder of the Manuscript is the data about Andrew's descendants.
We should not confuse this Andrew Christy who came to America from Ireland in 1762 with another Andrew Christy, Sr. who came from Scotland to American and landed in North Carolina about ten years later. This North Carolina Andrew was born on 16 Oct 1737 in Kilmany, Fife, Scotland and died after 1790 in North Carolina.He married Elspeth "Elizabeth" Melville 6 Apr 1759 in Cupar, Fife, Scotland, where she was born. Most of the North Carolina Christies came from this Andrew and Elspeth. To the best of my knowledge none of the Pennsylvania and/or Ohio Christies ever settled in North Carolina.

Hello. We are trying to research information on my husband's family. His grandfather was George Washington Christy born in PA. but moved to Camden, NJ., Wife Florence Lennox, and they had about 12 children - George W., Netta, Raymond, Walter, Albert, Harry, Norma, Betty, William and possibly Mary, Margaret, Bertha. Unfortunately, my husband, Albert K., doesn't know much about his family. His father, Albert, is deceased, and lived in So. Ca. for many years.
Doesn't look like this is a match, but just thought I would give it a try.
Thank you for reading.
