Cyril Knight (step-son of James
& First biological son of Christina)
Cyril was
very successful and wealthy. He owned a lot of real estate in Kingston which
were rental properties, also three motel and bars. Cyril was shot once while on
his way home from his business place. He was brave enough not to stop but drove
himself to the hospital. Due to his business and his standing in the community,
he was a licensed fire arm owner, but he had the commonsense not to fight back
as he probably would have gotten killed.
Aubrey
White lived in HarrysWatch. He was the second living child. His last name was White,
but he was also (step-son of James & second biological son of Christina)
His father's last name was also White but no relation to James. He visited with
his niece Esmie every week. Esmie lived next to the post office at Craighead
and he would travel on the mail van, visit her while the mail van was dropping
off the letter for 1/2 hour, then he would travel back with the mail van to
HarrysWatch. He really loved driving out, sometimes his wife Miss Nora didn't
even know he was at Craighead as to every opportunity he got to ride in the
mail van, he would not let it pass him. Aubrey had 9 1/2 fingers. He was
climbing a tree and thought somehow a needle got stuck in his finger. When he
went to the Dr. they cut his finger off. There wasn’t anything like x-rays or
MRI to test it so that's the best they could have done.
Arabella
was the third surviving child. (She was the biological child for both James and
Christina)- Craighead - Arabella developed diabetes when she became an adult.
It was a controllable one.
Sylvester
was the fourth surviving child. (He was the biological child for both James and
Christina) He lived I Saint Andrew in a small house across the river. Whenever
the river overflow, they had to stay on the other side. He loved and visited
his sisters regularly. He was buried at Sodom.
Rosa Jane
was the last surviving child (She was the biological child for both James
and Christina)- Craighead - Rosa was asthmatic and she had a bad
heart which eventually affected most of her organs.
It's
being said that she Christina had a lot of still births and miscarriages and
she learned from experience to become a Nanna and deliver babies for the women
in the District. She had her bad experiences and she used it to help other
women from going through the same experience as her. There weren't any mid-wives
taking care of pregnant women at the time, they knew what bush medicine to use
hen pregnant and how to deliver babies on their own.
Some says
that Christina had a total of fifteen pregnancies, but this is debatable as
some can only remember ten pregnancies.
