Madelaine Bubier's Bubier Family Notes states that, in 1702, Christopher was referred to as Christopher Boober, fisherman, when he acted as administrator of his father's estate. Because he was appointed this task, it is assumed that he had attained his majority by that date. His birth is not recorded in the vital records of Marblehead. He married Margaret H. Palmer (see Palmer family) and they had at least two children. He was master of the Brigantine Beginning, a position for which he was paid four pounds and three shillings per month. He fell ill in Suriname, Dutch Guiana, on July 7, 1706, and as a result of this illness, he died there on July 18.
The History of Salem, MA gives this information on the Beginning:
“Beginning: Brigantine. 50 tons burthen. This vessel was commanded by Capt. Thomas Marson in 1697 and in 1700. Apparently, it was owned in 1697 by George Norton of Manchester. Jan 11 1697-98. Norton let to John croade of Salem, merchant, two-thirds of it for a voyage to Barbados, Saltatoodos, etc., but found her mainsail was old, rotten and not equal to the needs, her boat leaky, main shrouds inadequate, her spritsail and jib in sufficient, the chimney broken down and many utensils of household stuff and stores of nail and blocks wanting, so that she was unserviceable. Croade had let to Philip English, merchant, one-third of the vessel by a charter party on the same day, and he protested against the vessel likewise.
“Capt. Thomas Marston of Salem, commander of the vessel and Richard Derby, one of the crew, declared that, on June 28, 1700, when a voyage from the Island of Providence to London, in in latitude 34 52, being loaded with about forty tons of braisiletto wood and twelve hogsheads of molasses, it sprang a leak, and they were forced to make the best of their way Salem where they arrived July 17th.
"Benjamin Marston, mate of this vessel, shipped Christopher Buber as master, on a voyage to Surinam and elsewhere at four pounds and three shillings per month. Bubier was taken sick at Surinam July 7 1706 and died there on the eighteenth.”
