driley3, Are you researching the Christy family in Trumbull Co.? I believe I have some connections, albeit indirect, to the Christy family. I even have an old photo of a Christy. My Agney family was living in the middle of a bunch of Christy families in the 1850 census. The photo I have is for a D C(?) Christy, I believe (it's at home and I'm not at the moment, so I can't check). The back of the photo ways "To Aunt Nancy." My 2g-grandmother was Nancy Montgomery Agney. I don't know much about how the Christy families in Trumbull Co. (Brookfield Twp.) are linked together and to other families, but I'm interested in finding out more. I know there was a Sussex, NJ connection, too. Isaac Agney, Nancy's husband, was from Sussex NJ.
