General Notes: Husband - James Williamson Christy
He grew to manhood on the old family homestead, and at the age of twenty-four went to Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and followed the tanning business about five years. He then traded his interest in the tan-yard for fifty acres of land near Greenville, which he soon afterward sold and purchased 200 acres in Sandy Creek Township, on which he settled permanently in 1836.
He was a farmer and cattle dealer, spending the last twenty years of his life in retirement at Greenville. He was of the United Presbyterian faith, and in politics a Whig and a Republican.
General Notes: Wife - Mary L. Thompson
