Information on Christian Pearis
From Genforum.com post:
- Christian Pearis, sister to Richard married first William Neely as documented by a bond filed to administer his estate and securied in part by Richard Pearis (1757). By 1747, she had married a James Magill, who removed to the 96th District along with the Neelys and was a close friend of the Cunninghams as well. Neely may have died as early as 1752 as William is not mentioned in his father-in-laws will. James Magill wrote a will in 1779 proved in 1782; neither mentioning Christian or a wife or any of the Neelys, but leaves his estate to his three grandsons, children of Anthony Golding by Sarah Magill (married 1779 in 96th Dist). No probate has been found for William Neely or for Christian so we have no clear documentation of the children of Christian Pearis, though it is likely Sarah Golding is her daugther; named after her mother.

Note: there is one correction to the paragraph above. James Magill DID mention a Christopher Neely in his will, possibly a step-son and son of his wife Christian Pearis.
