CIVIL WAR VETERAN - UNION
Enlistment Date: 1862
Military Unit: 33rd Infantry, R-Z AND 34th Infantry AND 35th Infantry
Rank: Corporal
Corporal Christopher Columbus Mackie was the eldest son of the Reverend Simon Martin Mackie and Eunice Hobson.
He was born in Yadkin County, North Carolina, which was known for being an early Boone settlement area. Soon after his birth, Christopher's family migrated to what became the Rochester area of Andrew County, Missouri.
Lewis Allen, the son of Dinah Boone and Zachariah Allen, also migrated with his family to the area. His son Nelson McDowell Allen married Christopher Columbus Mackie's sister Bridget on September 18, 1862.
On October 10, 1863 Christopher died in the "Regimental Hospital" of the dysentery that took the lives of so many of the soldiers. There is no stone, but his body may have been brought home for burial or placed in a grave area outside the facility.
Nelson and Bridget named their firstborn son Christopher B. around that time. Because the exact birthdate of nephew Chris B. is not known, but estimated 1863-64 it is not known if Christopher Columbus Mackie got to know of his little namesake before he died.
Christopher's sister Bridget died in 1872 and her husband Nelson remarried and started a new family. Namesake Christopher B. is found living with his grandfather Simon Mackie and his second wife Sarah by 1800. He is not seen after that census.
