Ahnentafel #1782 - Christopher Landis
Chrisopher Landis or Christian Landis / Landers
Born: by 1690
Died: ca. 1771, Mecklenburg Co., NC
Buried: unknown
Married: unknown
The date that Michael and his family first set foot in Mecklenburg County, Province of North Carolina is not known, but we do know that he was there on May 3, 1764 because on that date, he and his father-in-law, Christopher Landys, purchased 190 acres for 65 pounds from James and Ruth McClain. The location was described as being on Three Mile Creek, being a branch of the Rocky River. Mecklenburg County was then two years old, having been cut off from Anson County in 1762. As was often the case, the deed was not recorded until the property was sold. Then, this deed was proved in the October term of Court 1774 by martin Phifer, Esq. a subscribing witness thereto.
For years, we searched and searched trying to identify the parents of Mary Landers / Landis without success until recently when we received records from Robert McAlear of Nice, CA. He wrote:
