Father of the famous Rev. Peter Cartwright. Married Christiaan Garvin, February 27, 1783, in Amherst County, Virginia, where Rev. Peter Cartwright was born. Peter Cartwright was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and enlisted with his brothers in Capt. Samuel Jordan Cabell's unit. He lost two brothers at the Battle of Brandywine. He was buried in a family plot on his farm which is now long gone. He was born into the very old St. Mary's County, Maryland, Cartwright family.
His son, Rev. Peter Cartwright, wrote "my mother was an orphan." This was untrue. It's believed he said this because his mother was a servant for a Dr. Edmund Wilcox and had two children by him. Do not know if she was black, mulatto, etc. When Dr. Wilcox wrote his will he instructed money to be given to Christiaan and their two sons, Edmund and John Wilcox. Edmund Wilcox became a Minister and his brother, John Wilcox, was a drunk who was hung for murder. Less than a year before Dr. Wilcox died, he married. There was a court battle over the money he was leaving for Christiana and their two sons, and Christiaan lost and received nothing.

- [S6764] Smith, Lawrence C, Find a Grave - Ancestor (Mayes): GARVIN Christiana Cartwright, (Name: SmithLC.com;), GARVIN Christiana/Christiaan Cartwright 1748-1838.
Mother of famous pioneer preacher, Rev. Peter Cartwright. She had two illegitimate children with Dr. Edmund Wilcox, a wealthy plantation owner. She married Peter Cartwright, Sr., a Revolutionary soldier, February 27, 1787, at Amherst County, Virginia. One of the Wilcox sons became a minister, and the other son was hung for murder, (many say he was framed). Married, Peter Cartwright, Sr., and then moved to Kentucky. Had three children by Peter Cartwright. She died at the home of her daughter-in-law, Sophia White Wilcox, wife of the son who was hung for murder. Rev. Peter was the only child to survive his mother. Both his sisters had died before Christiaan. Not much is known about Christiaan. Rev. Peter wrote in his biography, saying his mother was an orphan and never mentions anything about her for the rest of his life. We do know that she was his mother as they are listed together in the court records for Peter Sr.'s will. Also, Rev. Peter Cartwright was born after she married his father, which Rev. Peter never mentioned proving he was the son of Christiaan Garvin and Peter Cartwright, Sr.
Court documents prove she was a servant in Dr. Edmund Wilcox's home. She may have been black or mulatto. Dr. Wilcox left money in his will for the care of her and both boys. He finally married and died shortly after the birth of a child. His new and only wife contested the will, and poor Christiaan lost the court case and received nothing, along with two others who also lost their cases.
