Christian's father, Abraham, remarried and had a child by sometime in 1825, according to the 1860 census. So it conflicts to say Christian was born in August of 1825. The Christian Gnaegey Family History has a mistake on birth year of Christian's brother, David, that can only be reconciled by census records, as well.
