She was a daughter of Waters Dunn.
She has a marriage bond in Henry County, Va. on 22 Dec. 1782.

Info below from Findagrave member Linda:
Dr. Truman Briscoe and wife Catherine (she is on the 1820 Columbia Co., GA Census as "Briscoe, Catharine") were also living in what became Columbia County, GA, He died in 15 May 1801 in Columbia Co., GA Their last 5 children are said to have been born in GA, but that is not something that I have researched.

I don't know at what point they came down, but I suspect she & her husband came with or shortly after her Father moved various family members with him down to GA. Several of the other Briscoe folks came down to settle there, too.
Forgot to send you a condensed version of her Father, Waters Dunn, Sr,'s will:
Will, Columbia County, GA (as posted by someone else. Can't find my own data on his will):
DUNN, Waters s/May 20 1800. P/Apr 12 1803. Wife Ann. Daughters, Millicent, Sarah, Elizabeth, Katy, Happy, Clary, Ann Blevins. Sons: Waters, Gatewood, Richard and William (Gatewood Dunn married Elizabeth Rosseau, Columbia County Feb 18 1806) Exrs. Sons Waters and Richard and Gatewood. Witness: James Wood and Alexander Gardner.

Note: The Ann Blevins is Water's daughter by last wife, Ann 'Fargarson' [Fergerson]. I assume that Catherine is the one listed as 'Clary' in the above excerpt. I need to obtain another copy of Waters Dunn's actual will.

Christine was Waters & Sarah Dunn's 9th child, she married Truman Briscoe in 1782 in Henry County, Va.
Dr. Truman Briscoe died in Columbia Co. GA. on 15 May 1801, and his wife Catherine (Dunn) Briscoe died at some time after being enumerated on the 1820 census of Columbia Co., GA.
