CHRISTIAN migrated from Switzerland to the USA in 1834, a year before his brother Jacob. Jacob first went to Wood County, Ohio (in the north, near Lake Erie), then later joined his brother in Tuscarawas County, Ohio.

Christian first settled on the NEFF farm in Ragersville, Ohio. He would have been one of the earliest settlers in Auburn Township, of Tuscarawas County. He later moved to Wabash County in 1847, settling southeast of the city. He was a farmer and shoe maker.

Auburn Township has never had a large population. In 2000 the Federal Census enumerated only 1,078 people.
