Biography
- Christopher is the biological son of James Musick. Although there is no official documentation for this relationship, it has recently been confirmed by y-DNA testing of a patrilineal grandson, Lanny Decker.
- Christopher was raised in the household of his mother, Cynthia Ann (Meredith) Decker, the wife of Edmond M. Decker.
- The initial C. in Christopher's name logically may be for Columbus. However, documentation to support this idea is needed.
