Son of Andrew Christy.
He came to Indiana from Kentucky between 1817 and 1820, before Bartholomew county was in existence. When the Indians were still around them. A true adventurer.

Originally owned the land the Burnsville Church is on and where he is buried.

Although his tombstone reads Christey, most of his descendents went by the spelling Christy except for his son, James, whose family used Cristy and still do today.
