He came from Rotterdam Holland in 1727 on the Ship Molly. More than likely he was from the Rhineland-Palatinate area of Germany. There were major groups of poor Palatines,then refugees in England, passage paid for by Queen Anne to reduce the number of impoverished families who had taken refuge in London.

In 1710 the English used ten ships to transport nearly 3,000 Germans to the colony of New York. Many died en route, as they had been weakened by disease.

New Bern, North Carolina is one of the earliest North Carolina colonies settled in 1710 by about 400 Palatines (650 left Germany, but about half died in passage) and 100 Swiss. This venture was orchestrated by the Swiss-born Christoph von Graffenried after purchasing more than 19,000 acres from the British Proprietors of the Carolinas. Like indentured servants they were required to work off their passage. Christopher, his father Hans and family were probably among the later waves of Patalinate immigrants.

Christopher was a planter, rope maker and ferry keeper. Settled first on the North Side of the Trent River, Craven County, North Carolina, deeds 1741and 1744. Abandoned Craven County lands and moved to Cumberland County with a Cumberland grant in 1755. Gave his daughter 100 acres of that land. The last document on him was a sale of land on 28 Jul1772. His son, Christopher, Jr., moved on up into the county, his last piece of land was sold, both at that time. We assume he died then or shortly thereafter.

Christopher married Christiana Catherine (Catey) 1729, North Carolina. Christiana was born Abt 1698; died Abt 1790, Cumberland Co., NC. [Group Sheet]
