Christina Fite was born in Sussex County, New Jersey the daughter of Johannes Vogt (John Fite) and Catharine Elizabeth Fite[5][16][17]. She married Lawrence Lamberson the 5 Jan 1775 in Oxford, Sussex, New Jersey[1]. It is believed that the Lamberson's moved to North Carolina with other members of the Fite family, and at least three of her brothers -- Peter, John, and Leonard Fite[2]. About 1796/98 she and her family moved to Tennessee near Liberty and then on to DeKalb, Tennessee where she died 3 Jan 1855. Her husband preceded her in death in 1833.
Two of Lawrence and Christina sons were baptised at the Evangical Lutheran Congregation Church in Allen TWP, Northampton, Pennsylvania[6][18]. They were Leonhard and Lorenz Lamberson.
Christina Lamberson filed for a Revolutionary Pension on 15 March 1850 in DeKalb, Tennessee[3] based on the service of her husband. Her application was rejected probably due to the fact that she could not prove her husband served at least six months. She also did not have any marriage document proving she was married to Lawrence Lamberson other than the sworn testimony word of her brother, Rev. John Fite. Rev. Fite gives several sworn testimonies, including a sworn statement that he was a "Minister of the Gospel", to try and help her with the process. One of the final documents in the rejected Pension file was that she needed a Congressman to approve her application. She died on 3 January 1855 in DeKalb County, Tennessee, at the age of 99, never having achieved her pension application approval.
