She marries John Christy b N. Ireland 1744 and arrives 1762 in America. They lived in Westmoreland County until late 1700's and then moved to Butler Co. John Christy's brother and sister married Campbell brother and sister. None of the couples (John Campbell/ Ann Christy and James Christy/Mary Campbell could have neen born in Westmoreland Co. as it wasn't open for settlement when they were born. The Campbell's may have been from Cumberland county as a John Campbell in that county had a son John and a daughter Mary who married a Christy. And there were a number of Christy families in that area. So I've been looking for my Sarah's people in Cumberland Co and hence the query I posted. See the following. Sarah may be of the Ancient House of Dunbar that included the following: Crinan 975 to 1045 married Belhoc daughter of Malcolm II, King of Scotland. Duncan I, King of Scotland 1034 to 1040. murdered by MacBeth. Maldred, King of Cumbria b 1005 d 1045 married Algatha, grand Daughter of Ethelred, king of England. Gospatric, The Lord Gospatric, Earl of Northumberland, the first to hold Dunbar and an heir to the thrones of England and Scotland 1040 to 1115.
