Notes
- "Drury (or Drewry) Christian, whose birth date ranges between 1750 and 1793 in various trees, but the best support is for the way you have it, namely about 1760. He had three wives that we know of, Mornin (or Mourning) Christian, daughter of Charles Hunt Christian and Mary Leake; Frances Elizabeth Oglesby, whom for the moment we have no choice but to accept as mother of Cenas, Pyrene, and Sally; and Frances Connally. Only for Mornin Christian do we have actual Virginia marriage records, one each for 4 Mar 1784 and 4 Mar 1785. After the last child was born of this marriage, in 1799, there was a jump until 1808, when Cenas and Pyrene were born, followed by Sarah Frances "Sally" in 1811. Unless all the trees that list Frances Elizabeth Oglesby as their mother is wrong (I have found no actual marriage record, [Frances Oglesby is the mother of these three daughters].)"

Sarah (Sally) Christian married Charles Jones.

Charles Jones
Spouse Sarah Christian
Marriage 15 Jan 1829 Franklin County, Georgia
"One thing really interesting to me is the apparent attraction the Connally boys had for my grgr grandmother Sally Christian Jones and her Christian family sisters. (1) Sally married Jones Connally's first cousin Charles Jones. Her sisters (2) Cenas married Jones's brothers [?] William L Connally, and (3) Pyrene married Samuel W Connally."
