General Notes: Husband - Thomas Christie, Esq.

---

Muddy Creek Twp, Butler Co, PA

About the year 1800, two brothers, named Thomas and Marven Christy, came from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and settled on the "Eight Tracts," or the locality later known as Portersville. Thomas was a prominent man in his day, an early Justice of the Peace.

He was a native of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and settled on the site of Portersville, Butler County, in 1812. He was a brother-in-law of Robert Stewart, the first settler on the site of that borough. His grand-father was a native of Scotland, and settled in Connecticut at an early day, leav-ing a family of six sons, two of whom settled in Ohio, two in Nova Scotia, and two in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, one of the last mentioned being the father of Thomas.
He purchased 400 acres of land, a portion of which was included in the southern part of Portersville. He was one of the extensive farmers of Muddy Creek town-ship, was a justice of the peace for many years, and was well known as "Squire Christie." He was a pioneer member of the Associate Presbyterian church, and later of the United Presbyterian church, of Portersville. He was one of the early merchants of that borough, and a widely known anti-slavery advocate.
