The Christians of Barry County, MIUpdated September 5, 2000 |
|
| I have begun research into the Christian family history. This includes the Christian surname, as well as the surnames Brumbaugh, Katherman, and Witwer. The Christians and Katherman's seem to have passed through Pennsylvania in their westward migration. The earliest Katherman about whom I have information came to Union County Pennsylvania from Germany in 1800. The earliest Christian (Lewis) that I know of was born in Pennsylvania in 1775. The earliest Brumbaugh I know of is Abraham who married Susan Katherman and probably lived and died in Darke County, Ohio. The earliest Witwer I know of is Peter, who married Anna Brumbaugh (my great-grandmother)and lived in Darke County, Ohio. A side project is to determine how Annie Oakley (nee Phoebe Ann Moses) is related. I've been told it is through the Brumbaugh name, which is the surname of my father's mother's mother (my great-grandmother). |
