Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Sybil, According to Lincoln Christophers death certificate, he was born in Georgia on November 18, 1899. Here is the link to his death certificate http://genealogy.az.gov/azdeath/0219/021... The informant on the death certificate was Virena L. Christopher. According to the 1910 census, Felix was widowed. 1910 United States Federal Census about Felix Christopher Name: Felix Christopher Age in 1910: 34 Estimated birth year: abt 1876 Birthplace: Georgia Relation to Head of House: Head Father's Birth Place: Georgia Mother's Birth Place: Georgia Home in 1910: Dacula, Gwinnett, Georgia Marital Status: Widowed Race: Black Gender: Male Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Felix Christopher 34 Arran Christopher 12 Lincoln Christopher 11 Thomas Wright 18 Jessie Wright 13 Annie Johnson 38 As you can see, they were in Gwinnett County, Georgia in 1910. By 1920, he was living in Muskogee, Oklahoma with new wife, Susie who was age 28. 1920 United States Federal Census about Felix C Christopher Name: Felix C Christopher [Filex C Christopher] Home in 1920: Muskogee Ward 4, Muskogee, Oklahoma Age: 47 years Estimated birth year: abt 1873 Birthplace: Georgia Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's name: Susie Father's Birth Place: Georgia Mother's Birth Place: Georgia Marital Status: Married Race: Black [Colored (Black)] Sex: Male Home owned: Rent Able to read: Yes Able to Write: Yes Image: 173 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Felix C Christopher 47 Susie Christopher 28 I couldn't find him in the 1900 census, but he listed both parents birthplaces in Georgia so given that information, I might focus more on Gwinnett County, Georgia I found Lincoln's WWI draft card and at the time the draft card was filled out, he listed his date of birth as October 15, 1897, which differs from his death certificate. He was living in McIntosh County, Oklahoma and listed his nearest living relative as Felix Christopher . His fathers address was 639 Market Street, Muskogee, Oklahoma. That might be another place to look for clues. I didn't find a death certificate in Arizona for Felix Christopher, which leads me to believe that he might have died there. |
