General Notes: Husband - John Christy, Sr.

---

In 1798 or 1799, John Christy, Sr., and his family of thirteen children, came from Westmoreland County and settled in the southwest quarter of Washington Township, as now formed.

He was one of the earliest residents of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In the spring of 1799 he and his family removed from Westmoreland and settled upon a large tract in Butler County. He and his nine sons were pioneers, and all founded homes by clearing away the wilderness in various sections of the county.

A native of Ireland, he immigrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, toward the middle of the eighteenth century, and settled on a farm near the site of Greensburg. He there married and in the spring of 1799 removed to Butler County and purchased 400 acres of land in what is now Cherry township, situated where his grand-daughter, Mrs. Martha Campbell, later resided. There he erected a cabin in the primitive forest, and spent the remain-ing years of his life in clearing and improving a home for his children.
