Christian was the son of Chrispi Anos & Frances (Peters) Walker.
Christian married Mahalia Mangus on March 25, 1845. They were the parents of five children:
1. Elizabeth Frances Walker (1846 - 1848)she was given one name from each grandmother
2. Sarah Catherine Walker Hatcher (1847 - 1943)
3. Mariah Paradyne Walker Peters (1848 - 1935)
4. Marinda Ersula Walker 1850 - 1851)
5. Jacob Anos Walker (1852 - 1940)
While Christian and Mahalia resided on Devils Fork he was a farmer and surveyor, he acquired and disposed of a large number of acres of land and his heirs sold the coal rights in 1907 to 138 acres of land on Meadow Fork, a tributary to Devils Fork.
Christian was the founder of Peterstown, Monroe County, West Virginia.
During Christian's tenure on Devils Fork the residents traveled to Charleston, West Virginia to procure their salt at the Malden Salt Works. It is claimed Christian's early death was attributed to his riding horseback on a bag of coarse salt from Charleston to his home on Devils Fork. It was thought the salt set up a gall and the chafe and friction during the long ride produced non-healing sores, to the extent it eventually poisoned his body cells.
