He was born at Unterriden, Hessen, Germany

The Bremen Newspaper wrote: on July 1844:
"The Bremen ship COPERNICUS commanded by Captain Haesloop on the route from Bremen to Baltimore met on May 18, 1844 an ice field in position 46.50N; 46.42W where the Copernicus took on board Captain Robson and his crew ( 8 persons ) from the Brig PEACE which had been on the route from Bayonne to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The PEACE had entered the ice field on May 9, 1844 and was damaged by the ice and sunk on May 13, 1844. Captain Robson and his men were very thankful for the rescue."
**We are CERTAIN Christian was aboard this vessel when the rescue occurred, because it usually took 40-53 days to cross the Atlantic, which means he would have probably left Bremen, Germany in late April 1844, arrived in Baltimore on June 7, 1844, making the vessel "at Sea" for the month of May 1844.
He purchased 7 acres in Tremont, Schuylkill County, where he had a farm.
