My GG Grandfather, George Washington CHRISTIAN was born in New York State,
1824. Sometime in the early 1850s he went to California and is said to have
been one of the first white settlers in the San Pablo Bay area (Contra Costa
County, CA). Though he tried his hand at farming, he was primarily occupied
as a Blacksmith.. I am finding him to be rather elusive; in fact, I can't
even find him dead in any of the places he "should" be (if you happen to come
across a 170 year old man walking about, let me know).
I *might* have found him as a young man of 23 - the 1850 census shows a
George W. CHRISTIAN residing in a boarding house in Utica, NY, with an
occupation of Silversmith. Does anyone have a CHRISTIAN family in Oneida
County, NY 1824 - 1850?
