Green Oak Farm located in the Sterling Heights area of the county and along the shore of the Chickahominy River.  Patent dated 21 Oct 1687 to Thomas Christian for 1080 acres in Weyanoke Parish, on the south side of Store's (Stoney) Run, crossing Black Gutt to the Chickahominy River may well have been the patent for this farm.  Formerly called "Cherry Bottom", this land is thought to have been passed down in the family, by wills, through the Christian family to the present time. According to Bruce B. James, who lives on this property, there is a family cemetery, as well as a slave cemetry to the rear of the old home.

This is a family of Scandinavian origin and had attained great eminence at a very early date.  They were deemsters or judges in the Isle of Man as early as 1408, and as such succeeded one another for several centuries, embracing many generations.  The name was formerly Mac Cristen, then Cristen, and finally about the year 1600 it was changed to its present form by Ewan Mac Cristen who, in 1605, when only twenty-six years old, was made deemster, and held the office fifty-one years.  He was also deputy governor of Peel Castle and the most influential man in the island.  Early in the seventeenth century some of the descendants of this ancient family emigrated to Virginia, acquired large bodies of land and entered vigorously into the development of the new country.  The Virginia progenitor of the family was Thomas Christian.   As "Mr. Thomas Christian" he patented, October 21, 1687, 1080 acres in Charles City county.  The term "Mr." accorded to the immigrant, is indicative of social standing.  In 1694 "Thomas Christian Sen" obtained a patent for 193 acres south of Chickahominy swamp.  It appears that he had at least four sons:
(1) Thomas Christian2 "of Charles City county" who patented land (1712 and 1727) in the forks of Beaver Dam Creek in that part of Henrico county called Goochland:
(2) Charles Christian,2 of Charles City county, who located lands in the same vicinity in 1714 and 1727.
(3) James Christian,2 in the same vicinity, located land bounding on Thomas Christian's line (1719).
(4) John Christian,2 of Charles City county, in the same vicinity (1724). This Charles Christian2 (Thomas1), lived in Westover parish in Charles City county, and obtained numerous patents to land in Goochland.  There is a record there of his deed of gift (1750) to Stephen Watkins of Amelia county.  The record also shows his deed to Charles Christian, Jr.,3 of Goochland (1754).
