There still seems to be alot 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:

http://www.maxhuff.com/issueno5.htm

Many thanks to those at http://genforum.genealogy.com/gist/ whotogether have proven that this Christopher Gist's parents were NOTChristopher Gist and Anne Washington.

Christopher & Edith Cromwell Gist emigrated to Maryland before 1679, settling on the Patapsco River. Christopher owned plantations named South Canton and Rebecca's Delight.
He was a member of the Church of England.
