General Notes: Husband - John Christy
He was born in Hopewell township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He lived with his parents until he attained his majority, and then went into Allegheny County, where he learned the trade of hatmaking, then one of the leading manufacturing industries of the rural regions.
After his second marriage he lived in Noblestown, Allegheny County, for about three years, working at his trade; but, yielding to his wife's influence, in the year 1833 he removed to Armstrong County, and purchased a farm. Here they reared their family of thirteen children, all of whom attained manhood or womanhood. With the exception of two sons, one of whom gave his life for his country when in his twenty-sixth year, and one who died in his own home, aged twenty-nine, all lived to cheer and comfort their parents in their declining years.
Coming to Armstrong County as they did when it was new and still bore many traces of its recent native inhabitants, the Christys had much to contend with. Besides being in straightened circumstances, with nearly the whole of their farm to clear, and no market for their produce nearer than Pittsburgh, their early years were full of hardships and deprivations.
In their religious views they were Presbyterians. They labored zealously for the building and sustaining of the Appleby Manor church, of which Mr. Christie was a ruling elder beginning from its organization. Politically Mr. Christy progressed from "old line" Whigism to Republicanism.
