Ames being the only children of Sally Ames dec'd, a sister of the whole blood to the said George Christian; the said James Fisher being the only child of Elizabeth Christian dec'd, a sister of the half blood to the said George Christian dec'd; the said Catherine Ward being the only child of Catey Ames dec'd a sister of the half blood to the said George Christian dec'd; the said William A. Christian and Margaret Ames being the only children of William Christian dec'd, a brother of the half blood of said George Christian; the Mahala Guest being the only child of John Milby dec'd who was the only child of Rosey Christian dec'd, a sister of the half blood to said George Christian dec'd; and the said Mahala Guest, Shadrack T. Ames, Tabitha A. Ames being the only children of Nancy Ames dec'd, a sister of the half blood to said George Christian dec'd. (NOTE: The above text is verbatim from Nottingham's Soldiers & Sailors of the ES of VA in the Rev. War, p. 22. However there seems to be some obvious errors as Rosey Christian married William Fisher and would have been the mother of James Fisher instead of Elizabeth. Elizabeth Christian married Adial Milby and would have been the mother of John Milby instead of Rosey. William Christian, wife Matilda, did not name daughters Catey and Nancy in his 18 Mar 1772 will, which was probated 10 Aug 1773, 1 year & 5 months later. So, there is the possibility of another younger child. Since Officer George Christian dec'd, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, gave his mother his finest linen in his will of 2 Dec 1782, his mother was evidently his father's second wife Matilda. Therefore, the whole blood and half blood relationships, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, were used to determine the correct mother for Officer George Christian's siblings. Nancy Ames dec'd, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, was shown as Nancy Ames (not Christian) when she married John Milby on 27 Aug 1793 and the Ames family chart on p. 33 of Ames, Mears & Allied Lines, shows her as the daughter of William Christian's widow Matilda and her second husband Col. Shadrack Ames, which makes her a sister of the half blood to Officer George Christian on her mother's side. Catey Ames dec'd, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, was shown as sister of the half blood to Officer George Christian, therefore she was a daughter of William Christian's first wife Keziah Johnson, but not being named in William Christian's will, she was evidently the unborn child named in the 1747 will of Keziah's first husband Henry Blair. All the other mentioned whole blood - half blood relationships were based on the father's side.)1 |

(NOTE: The above text is verbatim from Nottingham's Soldiers & Sailors of the ES of VA in the Rev. War, p. 22. However there seems to be some obvious errors as Rosey Christian married William Fisher and would have been the mother of James Fisher instead of Elizabeth. Elizabeth Christian married Adial Milby and would have been the mother of John Milby instead of Rosey. William Christian, wife Matilda, did not name daughters Catey and Nancy in his 18 Mar 1772 will, which was probated 10 Aug 1773, 1 year & 5 months later. So, there is the possibility of another younger child. Since Officer George Christian dec'd, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, gave his mother his finest linen in his will of 2 Dec 1782, his mother was evidently his father's second wife Matilda. Therefore, the whole blood and half blood relationships, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, were used to determine the correct mother for Officer George Christian's siblings. Nancy Ames dec'd, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, was shown as Nancy Ames (not Christian) when she married John Milby on 27 Aug 1793 and the Ames family chart on p. 33 of Ames, Mears & Allied Lines, shows her as the daughter of William Christian's widow Matilda and her second husband Col. Shadrack Ames, which makes her a sister of the half blood to Officer George Christian on her mother's side. Catey Ames dec'd, mentioned in Nottingham's above text, was shown as sister of the half blood to Officer George Christian, therefore she was a daughter of William Christian's first wife Keziah Johnson, but not being named in William Christian's will, she was evidently the unborn child named in the 1747 will of Keziah's first husband Henry Blair. All the other mentioned whole blood - half blood relationships were based on the father's side.)2 |
