"Old Families of Randolph County, Missouri"
too. The entry is by Dorothy Jane Christian Thornburg.William Sutton Christian was born in Kentucky and came to Randolph County, Missouri with his parents. He married Mary Elizabeth Terrill in October 1850. Their son John James began working as a young boy making railroad ties (by hewing them from whole logs), and he later sold the city of Moberly its first team of horses to use at the fire station. He was a deacon at Central Christian Church fo many years, and was a Road Commissioner of the 8 Mile Road District. John James Christian married Hannah Martin, and was successful in accumulating much property. Their children were William Sutton and Geneva Christian. William Sutton married Lucille Marshall and they lived on the home farm just south of Moberly throughout their married life. The home place was the scene of many happy family reunions. Their children: Dorothy Jane, who married Jim K. Thornburg, who is Chief Dispatcher for the Norfolk and Western Railroad in Moberly. The Thornburgs live very near the old home. William Sutton, Dorothy Jane' brother, is a Lieutenant-Colonel in the U.S. Air Force and lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Her second brother, Kenneth Marshall Christian is retired from the U.S. Coast Guard and now lives in Port Angeles, Washington.
The previous entry that I quoted parts from established William Sutton as the son of Paul and Polly Sutton Christian. The entry says William Sutton was
born Feb 2, 1817 and died in 1891 (and also mentions his marriage to Mary Elizabeth Terrill). Carole Brace [email protected] 12/98

Believed to be the same John Marshall Yates who m. Virginia Christian (born 22 May 1800, died 1841 after giving him 12 children). A note in another source says that John Yates was the "ancestor of Weechie (Yates) Estill, a Terrill historian who supplied data for book by Inez Doshier". Source #1830 says that the last child of Va. Christian was b. 1841 (she died in childbirth?) and was named William Viley (Wiley?) Yates. Notes are unclear, but it appears that it indicates that John had 8 more children by his second wife Eliz. Terrill (Parker).
The following from newspaper may be his grandson:
Kinzer, James William -- d. 22 Mar 1880, aged 25y, at Red Bluff, Contra Costa Co., (CA I think), struck in the temple by a baseball in a game, b. Rand. Co, g-son of the late John M. Yates & nepher of the late John Kinzer, sister Mrs William Dukes lives near Martinez, James was a saddler by trade; THH 15 Apr 1880

Noted your ref. to John Marshall Yates and his wife Virginia Christian. According to my research their daughter Sarah Elizabeth, born 1833 (stated in her book of poems; 1850 census states her birth as 1840 in Clinton Twn in Randolph Co. MO) married George Washington Hunt. Sarah Elizabeth was a well known poet and I have a book of her poems which will go to the Huntsville Historical Society. She was a member of the Mt Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church near Darksville, MO estab. in 1852. Her 3 brothers fought in the Confederate Army - Dr. Paul Christian Yates, Dr. Willie Viley Yates, Robert Arthur (killed at Kennesaw Mt. Georgia, June 27, 1864. Her sisters were Virginia Yates McCanne, Ann Mary Yates Kinser, eldest sister, who went to CA in 1849 & died there during the Cholera epidemic.
