    From Mark A. Christian (markchr3@airmail.net) 8/25/99
    I have been compiling my father's research. My 10-great grandfather is Thomas Christian, the immigrant from the Isle Of Mann. I have even visited the house in Jamestown Virginia where he once lived. In our research we have determined he was married to a Corbin, we do not know her first name. I have been following the research done on the Isle Of Mann side. My father says it will be difficult because a woman along time ago burned the ancient history of Thomas's family on the island. We believe most of that information is lost forever.From Treva Hilltreesh (justcuztreva@earthlink.net) FTM site 12/14/99
    Thomas Christian's parents were William MacCrystyn (1608, Isle of Man-1664 Charles City Co, VA) and Elizabeth COLLIER. Couple married in 1635, Ireland. William's father was Daniel MacCrystyn (b. c1550, Baldroma, Ireland).

    Thomas Christian's parents were William Christian and Elizabeth COTTIER (b. c1614, Isle of Man). William's second wife was Sally ATKINS. "There appears to be some confusion here as to which son belongs to which father. Williams, Ewans and Thomases abound. However, all records do agree that this family originated in the Isle of Man (Baldroma?) and Daniel McCristyn is definitely the Patriarch. It appears that most people of the Christian family surname are indeed related. The Scot custom of naming certain children after certain people in a certain order, seems to be a custom adhered to by most Celts. William lived at Cherry Bottom on the Chickahominy River in Charles City County in Virginia."
    William's father was William Christian (16 Apr 1608, IOM-2 Jan 1662/3, Hango Hill, IOM), married to Elizabeth COCKSHUTT (d. 19 Nov 1665, IOM). Ewan Christian (b. 1579, Ronaldsway, IOM) is father of William (b. 1608).From: Agnes Branch Perlman January 09, 2001

    I sent the evaluations showing that Elizabeth Collier and Mildred Collier married William Christian and John Christian almost one hundred years later than the information shown for them. William Christian's second marriage was to Sarah Atkins. Please notice that these marriage took place in the American Colonies many years laters. Also, Daniel Christian's marriage took place almost four generations earlier than the suggested date.
