Essie is the child of Robert Webster. She is mentioned in a letter written by Jane Webster Scatcherd circa 1900: "Grandfather [Robert Webster] was born in the "Glen" in the old family home. How many children there were originally, I do not know; but seven grew to maturity; three sons and four daughters. Grandfather's two brothers were John, quite a number of years older than grandfather, and Isaac, several years younger. The sisters were Mrs. Williams (Mary), Mrs. Christie (Essie, I think), Mrs. Belton (whose name I don't recall) and Mrs. Berry (Margaret)."[1]
Essie, "of Derralossory, County Wicklow," married David Christian on February 16, 1802.[2] They had a daughter, Margaret, about 1809.[3]
They emigrated to the United States.
Essie died on February 9, 1855 and was buried at the Albany Rural Cemetery, Menands, Albany.[4]
