I've had some real headaches with this descendancy; could your William Christian also be John Christian? I've found Manx records of Rev. John Christian, married 20 Nov. 1704 to Katherine Cain. Rev. John was buried 20 Dec., 1742, and Kaherine 30 May, 1742. Also found baptismal record for their son Israel Christian, 24 Sept. 1712. My problem with this - I also found a dath record for this child, Israel, a short time later, which sorta precludes his having been the Israel who settled in Va. and became my ancestor. The timing and location seem right; how many Rev. Christians married a Katherine Cain? Of course, they could also have named a later son Israel; this was not too uncommon. I am descended from the 2nd son of Caleb & Rosanna Christian Wallace to have been named William Christian Wallace, after the 1st such had died in childhood.

Any help on the parents of Israel??
