Notes

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume III VII--Prominent Persons: "George Llewellyn Christian born April 13, 1841, in Charles City county, Virginia, son of Edmund Thomas Christian and Tabitha Rebecca Graves, his wife. His father's ancestor, Thomas Christian, settled in Charles City county, Virginia, in 1687, having come from a distinguished family in the Isle of Man His grandfather was Turner Christian, who was a brother of Henry Christian, who was a captain in the revolutionary war. On his mother's side his ancestors were also English. His early education was obtained an private schools, and in the Northwood and Taylorsville Academies of Charles City county. In 1861, when twenty years of age, he enlisted in the Confederate army as a private in the Second Company of the Richmond Howitzers, with which he served until May 12, 1864, when he was desperately wounded (near the Bloody Angle) at Spottsylvania Court House. At that time he was a sergeant of the company. He lost one leg and a part of the other foot, and as the result of these wounds was incapacitated for further service in the field, and he entered the University of Virginia, in 1864, where he remained one session. Upon leaving the university, having lost everything by the war, he entered the clerk's office of the circuit court of the city of Richmond, and in 1870 began the practice of his profession. From 1872 until 1878 he was clerk of the court of appeals, and from 1878 to 1883 was judge of the hustings court of the city of Richmond. He has been president of the Richmond City Chamber of Commerce, of the city council of Richmond, of the City Bar Association, of the National Bank of Virginia, of which he is now president, and of the Virginia State Insurance Company. Judge Christian is a member of the Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans of Virginia, and has made many contributions to the literature of the war for southern independence. His "Report on the Conduct of the War," October 11, 1900, is a splendid tribute to the humanity of the south. His address on John Tyler and Abraham Lincoln, the "Capitol Disaster," and his "Confederate Experiences" are written with remarkable mastery of the pen. He is a member of the City and State Bar associations, and other social organizations. In politics he is a Democrat. His first wife was Miss Ida Morris, by whom he had three children: Cassie Claudia, Morris H., and George L., Jr. His second wife was Miss Emma Christian, by whom he has three children: Stuart, William, and Frank Christian. His address is Richmond, Virginia."

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume IV, George Llewellyn Christian: "Many men attain eminence in their chosen fields of labor; some in more than one field, but it is rarely that any man is able to so impress himself upon the life of the community as has George Llewellyn Christian, soldier, lawyer, jurist, banker, literatteur and business men. Born of sturdy Manx ancestry, he traces to Thomas Christian who came to Virginia from the Isle of Man in 1687, and founded a family in Charles City county, that as farmers, lawyers, judges, ministers, educators, physicians and business men have won distinction and been associated with the development of Virginia from colonial days to the present. Along maternal lines his descent is traced in Virginia to even an earlier day, the Graves family coming from England early in the seventeenth century.

George L. Christian is a son of Edmund Thomas and grandson of Turner Christian, both born in Charles City county, Virginia, that county having been the family seat since the first settler selected it as his residence. Turner Christian married (first) Susan Walker, (second) a Miss Fontaine, (third) Polly Dancy. His first wife bore him: Robert Walker, Susan Browne and Catherine. There was no issue by the second marriage. By his third wife he had: William Browne, John Douglas, Turner, Lily Ann, Mary, Henry Spotswood, Llewellyn A., Benjamin, George W., Edmund Thomas, James Doswell and Thaddeus W. Turner Christian was a Whig in politics, and an Episcopalian in religion."

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume IV: "George Llewellyn Christian was born at Balfours, Charles City county, Virginia, April 13, 1841. He obtained his classical education at the Taylorsville and Northwood academies, both located in Charles City county, and in 1861, with all the ardor of his youth and race, he espoused the cause of his native state, enlisting in the Second Company, Richmond Howitzers, First Regiment Virginia Artillery, as a private. His company was one of the hard fighting organizations of that hard fought, grand Army of Northern Virginia, and in all its battles Sergeant Christian participated until May 12, 1864. On that day, at the great battle of Spottsylvania Court House, in the "Bloody Angle," he was badly wounded, losing one foot entirely and the heel of the other. This closed his military career, but he left behind him an untarnished record as a good soldier. Carrying this tangible evidence of his valor in actual warfare, Mr. Christian began a fresh battle of life, entering the law department of the University of Virginia, and prosecuting vigorously the study of law under that great teacher, John B. Minor. He was admitted to the Richmond bar in 1867 and at once began the practice in that city. That year, 1867, may be taken as the beginning of his career as a professional and business man in Richmond, which covers a period of half a century, which it is hoped is by no means terminated. He was admitted in due season to the bars of the state and Federal courts of the district, and for eleven years, 1867-1878, he was successfully engaged in and firmly established a lucrative practice in the various courts. From 1874 to 1878 he was a member and president of the common council of the city of Richmond, and in the latter year was elected judge of the Hustings court of Richmond. He spent five years on the bench, then in 1883 when the re-adjuster party removed all the debt paying officers, of which he was one, he resumed the practice of his profession as the senior of the firm of Christian & Christian, attorneys, and yet continues head of the well known legal firm, Christian, Gordon & Christian. In 1892 he first appeared prominently in business life, serving as president of the Chamber of Commerce from 1893-95. In 1893 he was chosen president of the National Bank of Virginia, and in 1904 president of the Virginia State Insurance Company. These responsible positions he has filled with honor; and to his wise executive ability, his legal mind and training in a great measure, is due the present high standing of these important corporations. Not alone in war, profession or business, has Judge Christian proved the versatility of his talents. In the world of literature, professional and secular, his name is well known. In connection with his partner, Frank W. Christian, he established and edited in 1884. "The Virginia Law Journal," which he continued through a series of sixteen valuable volumes. As chairman of the history committee of the Grand Camp of Virginia, United Confederate Veterans, he wrote and published several pamphlets on the causes and history of the war, which later were collected and published in permanent form in a work entitled, "The Confederate Cause and Conduct in the War between the States." He is a member of the Confederate Veterans of Virginia, and of the United Confederate Veterans, serving in both organizations on the history committee, and doing all in his power to preserve a true history of the war, to which he dedicated, as proof of his devotion and valor, three years of his life, and with his blood marked one of the great conflicts of that war. He is a member and was president of the Virginia Bar Association, and at a recent meeting read a strong paper on "Roger Brooke Taney." He is a member of and was also president of the Richmond City Bar Association. He is a Democrat in politics, uniformly supporting the candidates and principles of the party. His clubs are the Westmoreland and Commonwealth of Richmond.

Judge Christian married (first) April 21, 1869, Ida, daughter of Adolphus Morris, publisher and bookseller of Richmond, and his wife, Caroline (McCreary) Morris. He married (second) November 23, 1881, Emma Christian, born June 23, 1859, daughter of William H. and his wife, Emeline A. (Dudley) Christian, both wives were born in Richmond. Children, three by first marriage: Carrie Claudia, born January 29, 1870, died March 29, 1890; Morris Huntley, born January 2, 1872, died April 6, 1893; George Llewellyn, Jr., born December 5, 1874, now a salesman, married Bessie McDowell and has children: Robert, Junius and Morris. Children by second marriage: Stuart Grattan, born August 15, 1883, graduate of Hampton-Sidney College and the University of Virginia, now a successful practicing lawyer of Richmond; William B., born May 23, 1887, student of Hampden-Sidney College and the University of Virginia, now a clerk with British American Tobacco Company, and located at Pekin, China; Frank Gordon, born March 28, 1895, now a student at Hampden-Sidney College.

The chronicle of a useful, busy life touches, of course, only the chief points. Judge Christian has been identified with the best interests of his adopted city, and stands to-day high in the estimation of his fellow citizens. Honored and prosperous, with success written at every angle of his career, Judge Christian in a retrospective glance can feel naught but honest pride in what that glance reveals."
