General Notes: Husband - John Christie

---

In 1818 he took charge of his father's farm in Con­cord township, Butler County, PA, upon which the latter had settled in 1800, and devoted the balance of his life to clearing and improving it. He possessed a good education, and was one of the pioneer school teachers of Butler county. Politically, he was one of the leading Democrats of his time, and filled many of the minor township offices. In religious faith, he was a Presbyterian.

The Christie family is of Scotch-Irish descent and probably he, John Christie, was born in Scotland and came to Westmoreland County, PA, in his youth and later became a pioneer in Butler County. He served in the War of 1812. He died in 1859. [TCHBC, 869]
