There still seems to be a lot of discussion about the parents of this Christopher... I believe that the source for all misinformation that Christopher Gist's parents were Christopher Gist/Guest and Anne Washington was "The Horn Papers," which have been discredited. See here:

Many thanks to those at http://genforum.genealogy.com/gist/ who together have proven that this Christopher Gist's parents were NOT Christopher Gist and Anne Washington.
