After my Mother, Elizabeth Victoria Green, married my Father, Obed Mast Christian, as above related, they built a residence about 400 or 500 yards westwardly from Thompsonville, and resided there until the Fall of 1867, when they moved to Denton Creek in Gonzales County, about 6 miles Northeast from Gonzales, on what is now known as the Gonzales-Waelder Highway, and also a part of the Old Spanish Trail from Houston to San Antonio.
Obed Mast Christian and wife, Elizabeth Victoria Christian, had born unto them twelve children, named as follows: William Willis, born, 1861, and died in infancy; Martha Jane, born March 16, 1862; Amanda Louellen, born December 27, 1865; Lueullus Forrest, born December 3, 1867; Mary East and Laura West (twins) born December 2, 1869; Sarah Dulcenia, born April 10, 1876; Lycurgus Cleburne, born September 5, 1880; Lybertas Green, born November 27, 1882; Bonnie Drucilla, born November 30, 1883.
