Notes
a. Note:   1892 NY census shows him as a driver. Uses the first name of Christ. Says he was born in Ireland and he is 55 years old. That would put his date of birth as 1837.
  1900 census shows family living at 43 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn. He is shown to have come to U.S. in 1868 and is naturalized.
  1905 census shows family living at 907 Grand Street, Brooklyn. Christopher is listed as a Teamster. He is listed as 56 years (1849) old and said to have been in U.S. 40 years.
  1910 census he is living with son Frank and is a truck driver.
  Found a 1915 obit for him in Brooklyn Daily Eagle which lists Jennie Cullen as his daughter along with sons Frank, Peter and Edward. The obit states he died of heart disease while living at 1600 Flushing, Maspeth, Long Island. He is said to have lived on Frost Street, Eastern District for 50 years (although that can't be verified at this time). According to the obit he was born in County Meath Ireland. He was a member of the Francis F Williams Republican Battery and had worked 30 years at Peter Cooper Glue Works. He was also one of the oldest members of St. Cecilia's RC Church on Hebert Street (where Mary Cullin married Daniel O'Connor). He is interred in Calvary Cemetery with his sons Francis and Edward.
  Have not been able to locate family on census prior to 1900.
