Other Information: Christian was married to William Stopford. William was the brother of the 1st Earl of Courtown, and they owned several properties in Ireland. I have several links to full-text property records between the Stopford siblings and their families, but only one lists Christian herself (listed below).
They had children:
[1] William (b. 1740 in Dublin, d. 1796 in London); Married first to Elizabeth [unknown married name] and then had a mistress, Sarah Hannah Elizabeth Malcolm (my other BW)
[2] Christian (b. unknown, d. unknown); Married Thomas Cosby
