A daughter of James Carruthers, III, and Nancy Bolon, she was named "Christian" for her grandmother, Christian Gore Carruthers, but used Christina as a young woman and until she died. She moved to Harrison Co., near Freeport, Ohio with her parents and siblings when she was 8 years old. She married Jeremiah D. Conwell of Stillwater, Tuscarawas Co, in 1835. They lived on the Conwell farm - a gift from Jeremiah's father - the rest of their lives. Christina was the mother of Hulda Ann (Latto), John, James, Albert Brady, Joseph Kurtz, Jeremiah, Belinda Clementine (Craigo), and Nancy Eliza (Edwards). She was declared legally insane in 1860 through the courts in Tuscarawas Co. and was cared for by her husband and children throughout the remainder of her life. After she was declared insane, her husband filed a suit against her siblings to force the sale of the Carruthers farm in order to obtain Christina's legacy. Jeremiah was concerned that he would precede her in death and made legal arrangements in his will for her care through their youngest daughter, Belinda. Christina's last months were fraught with sickness and she preceded her husband in death by two years.
