Butler Case Christy, an eminent attorney-at-law was born in Murrysville, Westmoreland County, Pa.,September 15, 1842, son of James and MaryJane (Case) Christy. His immigrant ancestor, it is said, was one of three brothers-John, James, and Andrew Christy- who came from Ireland to the U.S., and settled, one in Westmoreland County, one in Butler County, this state, and the third in the state of Ohio. James,second, the son of James,first, and grandfather of Butler C., was a man of unusual mental ability and a fine mathematician, his knowledge of mathematics being acquired in middle life. He was prominent in the church and an influential member of the community. On his mothers side he was descended from the Welsh. His son James, third of the name in this country, was born in Murrysville. He learned the trade of millwright, which he followed throughout his life. He built a large number of grist and saw mills in Western Pa., constructing them entirely of wood, using no iron, even in the shafting and gearing. In the spring of 1841 he married MaryJane, daughter of Butler Case, who was born in Allegheny County. They were both members of the Methodist Episcopal church. Five children were born to them, namely; Butler Case; James H.; Elizabeth, wife of Samuel McClure; Thomas N.; and Annabel(deceased), who married John Heslep, of Kansas City, Mo. This information came from a biographical review in the Carnegie Library. There is a lot more on Butler Case Christy if anyone is interested. My interest however is with all of the James' with whom I am descended from. Thanks, Sheryl
