Christine Baumann was the 7th of 11 children of William and Catherine Schneider Baumann. The parents immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1836 and were married in New Jersey in 1838. They lived in New York for two years then moved to Savannah, Georgia where William worked as a ship builder. The family moved to Bradley County, Tennessee where William worked as a carpenter and architect. William Baumann designed the Henegar House in Charleston, the oldest existing brick structure in Bradley County. While living in Charleston, Christine and three more siblings were born in 1848, 1850, 1852, and 1854. Sadly, in 1854, all four died within four consecutive months. All four are buried near each other, along with Caroline Schneider who died in 1855 and was apparently their mother's sister. Caroline is not on the 1850 census with the family, so perhaps was staying with the family to help with the children. The Baumann family made their permanent home in Knoxville and the sons of William Baumann were architects.
