![]() Christopher and Marie Robertson had three sons and one daughter:Edward, Christopher II, Henry Robertson, and Marie Robertson. Christopher married Marie but we do not know who her parents were.Marie was a French name but she was in the Colony long before the large-scale settlement of Huguenots in Virginia in 1699. Throughout Virginians, we generally depict the name as Robertson though records varied considerably. By the mid-1700s, Robertson begins to appear almost exclusively. A husband could be Robertson while his wife on the same document was Robinson. Colonial records depict Robinson, Robertson, and Roberson as though they were interchangeable. In 1652 with John Sturdivant, Christopher secured a patent to 600 acres on Hatchers Run of Swift Creek at the Ashen Swamp in Henrico (now Chesterfield) County.Christopher evidently bought land for his sons were beneficiaries of property other than this patent. who secured a patent for land on the Appomattox River in Charles City County.A Ewens neighbor was Thomas Causey who held several tracts of land in Charles City County.Causey assigned 500 acres to Nathaniel Tatum I who secured it with a patent in 1638. He was born in the 1620s and arrived in America by 1642 as a headright for John Ewens Jr. Includes Notes for Christopher Robertson: Our earliest know Robertson ancestor was Christopher Robertson. ![]()
