Notes |
.....Christian is listed on the salary subscription list of the congregation at Peaked Mountain Church for the year beginning on February 17, 1799 by Pastor Johannes Braun of the German Reform side of the church. This church was shared with the Lutheran congregation.
Christian Zellers moved to Warren County, Ohio near the Nulls in the summer of 1803. He bought land there and the rest of his children were born in Ohio. Christian was evidently an aggressive seeker of land and before his death evidently owned double his father's land in Virginia. The western lands were appealing so we find Christian moving on to Indiana where he died in 1841 at the age of about 73.
.....Frank M. Sellers says Christian by tradition had 13 children. This could be possible since there are gaps between the births of those known where there could have been children who died as infants or young.
