Individual Notes
• Two brothers of the name of Christophers, both mariners, and both engaged in the shipping exchange trade with Barbadoes, settled in New London, Conn., about 1665. Their names were respectively Jeffrey and Christopher Christophers. Jeffrey, the elder, was aged fifty-five in 1676, and was therefore born about 1621. Christopher died July 23, 1687, aged fifty-six, and hence was born about 1631. That they were brothers is conclusively established by documents on record in New London, wherein this relationship is specifically expressed.
The parentage of these two brothers is not known, nor is the place of their residence in England known; but as Christopher1 Christophers had a son born in Cherston-Ferrers, Devonshire, England, that locality has been regarded as possibly their place of residence prior to emigration, although no definite information that such is the case, has to my knowledge up to the present time, been discovered.669, p 110
