Christopher Anthony (born 24 Mar 1744; died 28 Oct 1815) was a member of the Society of Friends South River Monthly Meeting in which her served in the capacity of elder and clerk. This meeting had been established in 1757 from Cedar Creek Monthly Meeting and encompassed the counties of Bedford, Campbell, Albemarle, Amherst, Halifax, Pittsylvania, Henry, Franklin and Patrick Counties.

In February of 1769, he and Micajah Terrell were appointed to build a new meeting house on South River which was possibly the second wooden structure constructed there. In 1788 he was considered one of the most eloquent speakers of the Quakers who lived in Bedford County, VA, but finding himself at odds with a country that was in favor of slavery, he moved with his family to Cincinnati in 1812.
