Biography

Christopher Billups

Very little is known about this man, called "Christopher," possibly without documentation (?) He would have been born about 1600, at Wales,^[1] possibly Milford Haven, Wales. He and his wife remained in Wales, but at least one of their sons, George, emigrated to Virginia Colony in about 1650.^[1]

His birth day is a guess, based on the guessed birthday of son, George.

The name of Christopher's wife is unknown.

He had three sons:^[1]

1. Joseph
2. Christopher
3. George b ca. 1630, Wales - 8/6/1673, Gloucester Co.; mar c. 165 Sarah Unknown

Christopher and his wife both died at Milford Haven, Wales.

One of his sons, George, was one of the first to settle at Kingston Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia Colony. George Billups' will was found in the attic of the multi-generational Billups home. It named a wife, Sara, and children: an unnamed daughter and two sons.^[1]
