Text source

Christina Lang married Alexander Czamer[SSNE 5345] a citizen and merchant of Warsaw, before 1690. Her husband died in 1703 and so in 1707 she was required to pay out a debt on his behalf to Captain Alexander Allan of the army, a total of 2787 florins 23 grosz of Prussian silver currency. Christina agreed to pay the debt by 24 August 1708 and provided her estate (including "her stone house at Warsaw in the street of the Curved Wheel") as a mortgage. She had already owed money to Alexander Ross in 1702, and again in 1712 when her house was also offered as security, implying that she must have successfully repaid Captain Allan.
