Research Notes

It's been speculated that this John Christian could be the father of Thomas Christian who died about 1743 in Goochland (land was later in Buckingham). However the patent and deed above could pertain to John Christian, son of his brother Charles Christian, who was of age in 1727 when he was designated executor of his grandfather John Hunt's estate.^[3]

For some unknown reason this John Christian and his nephew have both been assigned a death date of "June 1767".
