CHRISTOPHER C. CAMBRON was born January 23, 1824, and is the third of a family of eight 
children born to Charles and Margaret Cambron. In 1788 Harry Cambron, the grandfather of 
Christopher C., came from St. Mary's County, Md., and settled on Cartwright's Creek, near 
Springfield. He was accompanied by his father, whose name was Baptist Cambron. Harry 
Cambron had married a Miss Harberson in Maryland and reared a large family, Charles, the 
father of our subject, being the third child, born on the 5th of November, 1791. He 
married Margaret Montgomery, daughter of Basil Montgomery, and died January 10, 1881; 
his wife died on the 27th of June 1863. They reared a family of eight children, seniority 
as follows: Stephen H., William C., Christopher C., Martha A. (McGill), Margaret I. (died 
in early womanhood), James R., Nicholas L., besides one who died in infancy. Christopher C. 
is the only surviving member of the family. He was born, reared and educated in Washington 
County, now Marion, and had devoted his life successfully to the pursuits of the farm, but 
removed to his city residence in Lebanon in 1882. He was married in Washington County, Ky., 
March 1, 1859, to Miss Marry C. Wrinn, daughter of Patrick and Julia A. Wrinn. The Cambron 
family were characterized for their adherence and devotion to the Roman Catholic Church.
