  2.   Family Notes.

    Agatha Barnett, the daughter of John Barnett, and Marran Gibbs, was born in Virginia. She was later married, probably in Culpeper County, Virginia, to a man named Julius Christy.

    Julius, who was a twin child, is thought to have been born in about 1730 near the mouth of the York River in Gloucherter County, Virginia. He was the son of Samuel Christy..

    On 15 August 1754, Julius and Agatha purchased 100 acres of land from a man named Charles Walker which was situated along the Rapidan River in both Culpeper and Orange counties. Julius later buitl a gristmill. This property, which operated for nearly 20 years. This mill was eventually destroyed by a flood, however, and even though Julius had it rebuilt, it was not long afterwards that he and Agatha sold this property and moved with their children to western Virginia..

    In about 1776/77 Julius and Agatha settled in that part of Botetourt County, Virginia, that is now within Greenbrair County, West Virginia. They apparently stayed there for about nine years, during which time Julius served in the Revolutionary War. In the record of land entitlements for Greenbriar County dated 11 Jan 1760, Julius recieved title to a 400 acre tract of land for having settled prior to 1 Jan 1778..

    On Dec 1780, Julius Christy was listed as being one of the Greenbrair residents who signed a petition to raise "twenty tonns of hemp off the tithable persons in this county ", for the purpose of making a marked road from this place to Richmond. In about 1785/86, Julius and Agatha moved further west into the state of Kentucky, where they settled in Clark County. Julius died in 1806. Although Agatha also passed away in Kentucky, the date of her death has not been determined. Possible around 1820..
