  • Notes 
    • Joseph's granddaughter, Eva provides the last name of McChristian. The children of Joseph Andrew and Geneva Riles lived in East St. Louis, Missouri.

      The middle name was incorrect in original genealogy; it is Joseph Alexander vice Joseph Andrew. Joseph's great grandson, Joseph states, "We know that Joseph's middle name was Alexander because his tombstone says 'Joseph Alexander McChristian'.
