Notes |
- !Went a huntg. above Darrels Hills & to G. Alexrs. Pocoson. Found a fox by two Dogs in Cliftons Neck but lost it upon joing. the Pack. Returnd abt. 5 Oclock & found Colo. Mason & Mr. Christian here. Francis Christian, a dancing master from Richmond County who had married Katherine Chinn of Lancaster County in 1750, came this day with Mason to discuss a series of dancing classes to be held during the next few months for the young people of the neighborhood. Some of the classes would meet at Gunston Hall, some at Mount Vernon, and some possibly at other nearby homes (CARTER [3], 2:737; HAYDEN, 76). from page 219 Item 5 of 6 The Diaries of George Washington. Vol. 2. Donald Jackson, ed.; Dorothy Twohig, assoc. ed. The Papers of George Washington. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1976.

a Philip Christian made sworn oath that Solomon Bonham, Jr., son of Solomon Bonham was legally able to serve as exr of Catherine Ackley Bonham Jones estate. Philip not listed in this family study, but clearly from the same family.
Philip would be at least 21 in 1809; so b bet prob 1750 and 1788.
