• Notes

  In 1777 he enlisted in the American army there and was assigned to the company of Capt. C. Triplet, of the 6th Campbell Regiment of the 1st Virginia Volunteers. He fought in the battles of Brandywine, Camden, Rootsford, Guilford Courthouse, Utaca Springs and was finally discharged at Round Oak, SC. They moved with the Weisers about 1790 to Montgomery Co.(now Pulaski), in southwest Virginia. The move was probably prompted by the hard time German immigrants had in getting clear title to the land in northern Virginia. He secured land grants near Dublin in 1802 from Governor Monroe. Descendents still live on the property. Elizabeth died c.1812, and was buried in the Weiser Cemetery. In 1813, Christopher sold his land to son Stephen, and for reasons unknown, moved the rest of the family to Indiana, settling near Hardinsburg in Washington County. It is suspected that the move was precipitated by a combination of the death of his wife, the availability of good, fertile, inexpensive land, and a disagreement with son Stephen over the issue of slavery. The Indiana farm, purchased 30-Nov-1814, is located at SW Sect. 15 Twp. N1 R2E. Christopher died there and was buried in the Sinking Springs, or Patton Cemetery one-half mile west of the Sinking Springs Church. His gravesite originally was outside the present cemetery, but when the highway was widened, he was moved inside. The DAR has placed a monument at his grave in his honor.
