      I am curious to learn more about this branch you mention. My family came down from Virginia through North Carolina, and Franklin Co., Georgia before moving on to Rutherford Co., Tennessee.

      Do you have more information on John CHRISTIAN who was married to Mary BRYANT?

      Perhaps this John is the grandfather of my ancestor Peyton CHRISTIAN.

      I'm almost certain Peyton's parents were Drury CHRISTIAN and Sarah PEYTON but that's as far back as I can take it.

      In the early 1800s in Rutherford Co., Tennessee a Drury and John CHRISTIAN lived together with their families in one household. I assume they were brothers. Perhaps they were children of John CHRISTIAN and Mary BRYANT.

      I would appreciate anything you can tell me. Thank you.

      Vickie,

      Drury CHRISTIAN, the son of Robert Thomas CHRISTIAN and Lucy BRADLEY, did move to North Carolina. He died in Warren Co., North Carolina in 1785. They have his will on file at the State Archives in Raleigh. The will was written on 26 April 1780. The will was proved at July Court in 1785 and witnessed by his widow Lucy (WILLIAMS) and his son-in-law William BALTHROP (husband of daughter Mary). I’ve been trying to find a connection between my earliest known direct ancestor (Peyton CHRISTIAN b. 1810 Warren Co., TN) and the Amherst Co., Virginia CHRISTIANS. For a long time I thought Drury CHRISTIAN of Warren Co., North Carolina was the father and then the grandfather of Peyton. I do not think there is a direct connection now. Below are the children of Drury and Lucy as I have found from wills, census records, land records, etc.

      Children of Drury CHRISTIAN and Lucretia “Lucy” WILLIAMS (b. 6 May 1727 Prince George Co., VA d. after 1790, dau. of Charles and Ann WILLIAMS):

      Mary CHRISTIAN b. 1753 VA m. William BALTHROP 1772 Warren (Bute) Co., NC d. 1837 NC? (William died in Dickson Co., TN)

      James CHRISTIAN bp. 23 April 1758 Goochland Co., VA m. Mary CHRISTIAN (dau. of Robert CHRISTIAN and Mary BRADLEY) 6 December 1790 Amherst Co., VA

      Gideon CHRISTIAN bp. 16 August 1760 Goochland Co., VA

      Ann CHRISTIAN bp. 3 March 1764 Goochland Co., VA m. James DURHAM 26 August 1783 Warren Co., NC

      Drury CHRISTIAN bp. 18 August 1766 Goochland Co., VA m. Betsey BREWER about 1790 Warren Co., NC d. before July 1826 Dickson Co., TN

      Frances CHRISTIAN b. about 1769 Warren (Bute) Co., NC d. December 1789 Warren Co., NC

      William CHRISTIAN b. about 1772 Warren (Bute) Co., NC m. Tabitha HOUSE 8 July 1794 Warren Co., NC d. Madison Co., TN?

      Jesse CHRISTIAN b. about 1777 Warren (Bute) Co., NC d. 13 October 1836 Edgefield Co., SC

      That’s what I know! I have some info on some of their kids too. Regarding James G. CHRISTIAN, I don’t know who that was. I can’t seem to find a James in my records that approximates that date. But if you come across any of the CHRISTIANS that left North Carolina and headed to Tennessee via Georgia, I’d appreciate hearing about them. Good luck.

      John Robert Cox (my mother is a CHRISTIAN)
