For what it's worth: in the book A History of Muhlenberg County by Otto
Arthur Rothert there is a footnote on p. 26 stating:

"Christian Gish, during the year 1800 or earlier, while on his way to
Muhlenberg from Virginia, was killed in the Cumberland Mountains by a
team of horses. His widow, Elizabeth Stintz Gish, and her seven sons
took the corpse with them and upon their arrival at their destination,
near Bremen, buried the body. These seven sons were George, who was
married to Betsy Peters; John, to Betsy Noffsinger; David, to Lydia
Wiley; Samuel, to Elizabeth Wiley; Abraham, to Mrs. Francis Hill;
Joseph, to Sarah Landies, and Christian, to Susan Knave."
