Surnames: CHRISTIAN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mAB.2ACE/2568 Message Board Post: I understand that Christian County was named for Wiliam Christian from Virginia. Can anyone give me any information about William? Was he the son of Maj. Co. Gilbert Christian and Margaret Anderson? Did he have an older brother John, born in 1764? If anyone can help me with this, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks. I can be reached at: pray@axs4u.net
