Could you send me the info you have on Christenberry family? I am related to the Christenberry family and the Carter family that intermarried into it from the Decaturville area. Any info would be greatly appreciated? I have a Thomas, William, and a J.G. W. (Dr. James George Washington)Christenberrry just to name a few.

This probably is not enough Christenberry to fool with. It is just that the first Christenberry inquiry came the day after I checked and updated New Hope where one of George Christenberry's daughters is buried and I opened my mouth (or rather moved my fingers on the keyboard).
