- ↑ Christopher's father died in 1675 so clearly he was not baptized as an infant. According to Wyman, p. 61, in 1694, prior to his death, he sold lands "that was my mother Hannah's", so presumably of legal age, hence born by 1673.
- ↑ Wyman, p. 61, says Christopher m. and left one child when he died, though neither wife nor child are named, nor is a marriage date given. Further, the details of his estate, as mentioned in Wyman's very abbreviated abstract, don't appear to reflect the existence of either (everything appears to go to the sole surviving child of deceased sister Sarah, Sarah (Brigden) Rand), and the abstract of a deed in 1694 does not mention a wife relinquishing her dower. No marriage, birth, or remarriage after his death is found in Charlestown VRs.
