Christian Davies
Christian Davies (1667 – 7 July 1739), born Christian Cavanagh, was a female soldier (disguised as a man) and later a sutler for the 4th Dragoons, later the 2nd Royal North British Dragoons. She was also known as Kit Cavanagh and Mother Ross. She served, in disguise, as a trooper in the British Army—first as an infantry man, from 1697 until 1701, and then for five years as a dragoon in the Scots Greys from 1701 until discovered in 1706 while searching for her husband.
==Early life==
Christian "Kit" Cavanagh was born in 1667 in Dublin, Ireland. Throughout her life, she would use the surnames: Welsh, Welch, Ross, Jones, and Davies. She was the daughter of a local brewer. Although her parents were Protestants, they supported King James II during his campaign in Ireland. Her father served with the Jacobite Army, dying as a result of wounds at the Battle of Aughrim.〔Daniel Defoe, ''Roxana; or, The fortunate mistress: and The life and adventures of Mother Ross'' (New York: H. G. Bohn, 1855) p. 361.〕 Her family's property was confiscated as a result of their support for the Jacobite cause.〔Defoe, p. 363.〕
As a teenager, she became involved with a relative of her mother's.〔Marian Broderick, ''Wild Irish Women'', (University of Wisconsin Press, 2004), p. 92〕 Unable to care for her, some accounts have her fleeing her mother, Kit Cavanaugh went to live with her aunt who ran a public house in Dublin.〔 Soon, she met and married Richard Welsh (some sources have him down as Richard Walsh), a servant of her aunt's. After her aunt's death, she inherited the pub. Despite her relative youth, she ran the pub as her own, with Richard being one of the waiters.〔( History of the Scots Greys ) retrieved from (Regiment Art ) on 19 October 2009.〕 They had two children, and she was pregnant with a third when suddenly Richard disappeared in 1691.〔
