During their marriage, Christian did help with some of John's work, being kind of a secretary for him. Christian died on April 21, 1710, in her hometown. She was buried in Auchterarder, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, United Kingdom. John passed away less then a year later.

While she was alive for the last few years of her life, she helped her son, James, with some of his work in offices.
