  1. Deemster from 1511 to 1535. Prior to 1511, John bought the property immediately adjoining the family's Altadale estate, combined the two, and changed the name to Milntown. With but one break, Milntown remained in Christian hands for more than 500 years. He was responsible for putting Manx Laws into writing for the first time.

  1. Owing to the disappearance of all early Manx records, this John McCrystyn is the earliest in the family of whom a written record exists, when he is recorded in 1408 as a Deemster. An "indenture" is to be seen at the British Museum (Ref. Add. Ch. 8482), signed by him as "John McCrystyn, Justiciarius Insulae". His son and heir, William, also signed as a member of the House of Keys.

    From the earliest records extant, the Christians held the Office of Deemster, an office of the greatest dignity and authority. In the ancient court rolls, the deemsters were styled "Justiciarii Domini Regis". They were not only the chief judges, but were also the Lord's Privy Councillors, and their influence over the people resembled the civil authority of the ancient Druids. They alone knew, and were guardians of the unwritten laws, which only on important occasions were verbally divulged to the people.

    The Deemstership was hereditary in the Christian family, either by some decree of which all knowledge is lost, or because it was convenient for a son, as soon as old enough, to attend his father, the Deemster, at Courts, acting as his amanuensis and assistant, in order to be initiated into the duties, to learn the unwritten laws and customs, and to prepare himself for the serious and important office.
    Note from a set of genealogical charts by Rita Gwendoline Browne (née Christian)

    The family name had many spellings which, for ease of continuity and understanding, I have standardised as McCrystyn.
