That bit of information helps me. The book I have, also written by a Goodnight states some facts that presumably make Christian one of the brothers. But because he doesn't seem to have any further connection with that branch of the family after the initial immagration, I tend to believe he was not a brother but maybe a distant relative. Your information comes from a different source, which helps me in my research....thank you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
