The following contains some oral history from my grandfather and some of the information is certainly incorrect but was left here simply as a remembrance of the brief discussions he and I had about our family history: "Christian went by the name of Chrissy. Chrissy was a tall robust person, quite the contrary from her mother who was a person of small stature. Christian Back's mother had a full head of red hair and she was a full-blooded American Indian."
The above information was handed down from my grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, and the part about the American Indian heritage is certainly incorrect. Nearly all of the information that came from my grandfather has proven correct at least in part. For example, closer relatives, have corrected the nickname by which Christian was known to "Christy" rather than "Chrissy". To date, I have found no evidence to support any American Indian heritage in any of my direct ancestor lines.
Later research uncovered a name line reaching back to the great grandparents of Christian. In the first quarter of the year 2002, I did locate the the death certificate of Chistian Back, that gives the full names of both of Christian's parents. The record confirmed the names of Christian's parents, which I first obtained from the family bible of Howard Francis Boyle and Ruby Jean Barkeloo-Boyle. The record also gave me the maiden name of Sarah which I now know was "Wells".

- ↑ Some records may state that her place of birth was Menifee County but Menifee was not formed until 1869.
- ↑ While there exists a shared headstone for John Wesley Smith and Christian Ann Back at the Back Cemetery in Menifee County, Kentucky, the death certificate of Christian Ann Back records that she was buried at Keene Cemetery in Jessamine County, Kentucky.
I do not have confirmation of this or whether a headstone was placed in Keene Cemetery. If you can confirm this, please click on the "Suggest" link to send me an update or your contact information.
