Thomas Christy, b. abt 1830 and d. 12/1/ 1893 -- we think he probably died in Huntington or Cabell County,WV-- is my gg-grandfather. He is also the brick wall. His son, James William Christy, Sr. (1858-1901) is my g-grandfather. Thomas m. Jemima Hughs/Hughes (1822-1890) in Gallia Co., OH, but raised his family in WV. He is listed as Thomas Christie in the marriage book. Jemima was the d/o John Hughes and Elizabeth Ott who were born in PA circa 1777, and later settled in Mason Co. WV. Their dates of death are unknown to me. The census records show Thomas being born in Ohio and in Virginia and his birth year varies. By 1880, my g-grandfather, James William Christy, Sr. had moved out of his father's home after having married Priscilla (aka Permelia) Frances Bush in Gallia Co. in 1878. They raised a large family of 8 children, 6 of whom lived to adulthood, in Huntington, WV. Their 2nd ypoungest child was my grandfather, James William Christy, Jr. (1893-1968) grew up in Huntington but moved to Cincinnati circa 1917 where he met and married my grandmother, Gertrude Schmidt. My g-grandfather's brother, Jerome, m. Susan Bailey in Gallia Co. in 1880, and proceeded to raise his family in Cabell Co., too. Jerome died in 1935 and Susan died in 1946, both in Cabell County. They had 3 children: Bessie, Clyde, and Harry. His other brother, Jefferson D. Christy, m. Eddie [sic] Farmer, in 1885 in Lawrence Co. OH. James and Jefferson are both listed in the 1895-96 Huntington, WV, City Directory: James was a "Teamster" and jefferson was an "axle turner." They lived at separate addresses on Twenty-Fourth St. in Huntington WV. I have photos and other information I will gladly share. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
