Notes |
- Christian: We have traced this family back to Gilbert Christian, a native of Scotland, who settled in the North of Ireland, A.D. 1702, and there married Margaret Richardson, by whom he had children: that Gilbert was ,we find, the great-great-grandfather of J. R. Christian, living in 1877, in Holly Springs, Mississippi, United States, America; subject to whose correction we write this notice of his family. And, we find, that Duncan Campbell of Inverary, Scotland, whose wife was Mary McCoy, and who settled in Ireland at the time of the “Plantation of Ulster,” by King James II., of England, was one of Mr. Christian's maternal ancestors. This Duncan lived near Londonderry, where his son Patrick Campbell purchased some land. Patrick's youngest son, John, when far advanced in life, migrated to America, A.D. 1726: from him and his numerous children and other kindred have descended a large progeny, spread over the Southern States of the American Union.
