Searching for the mother of Nancy CHILDERS Harris, b. Mar 1825 in IN.
She married Solomon P. MOSER on 10 Feb 1844 in Owen Co., IN. Her
father's name was William H. HARRIS, b. in VA and her mother was born in
OH. I feel that since Nancy's middle name was CHILDERS, it's a strong
possibility that was her mother's maiden name. Any help appreciated.

This church is in Albemarle Co., VA and has many people buried there
who are related to me.
Mr. Floyd PACE answered my request for photographs of this church,
the graveyard and the CHILDRESS homestead.
He was also kind enough to send me many pages listing all of the
known burial plots in the graveyard. For this kind of genealogy help, there
is no adequate pay.
However, he is an historian and would enjoy any tidbits about
Albemarle Co., VA and its people, buildings and history.
If you have any information, could you please send it to me and I
will forward it to him. It would also be great if you were to post it to va
roots and wv va roots for their archives.

Received from Floyd PACE on 7 July 1997
Mt Zion Church
At the beginning of the 18th. Century there were very few Country Churches,
The Methodist people were visited by the "circuit Rider".
Where ever night over took this Minister, the near Neighbors were
called in and worship was held.
Somewhere around the year 1785 Benjamine Childress who was from
(Hanover County I believe) Brought 2200 Acres of land and Built his house at
Seven Oaks. (The Home of the late Mrs. L I. Turner.)
In 1828 Mr. Childress took his slaves and built a log house for
Worship.(Where this Church now stands.) This being the corner of his land
joining the Cannan Estate, Mr Childress gave the finished job to the
Methodist Conference.
The Church grew and prospered. Later the people erected a brick
building, but on account of defective foundation, this church was unsafe for
use, and the present building was erected in 1881.
Work and various improvements have been made from time to time. In
1904 when C. E. Blankenship was pastor the first real changes were made, The
Vestibule was built inside. The old plain Windows replaced with the ones now
in and the Arch behind the alter put in.
The Concrete steps and walk were added when Joe Patterson was pastor.
In the last few years the Church as been painted inside and out, also the
roof. The Brick wall was built in between the Original old pillars last year.
The Cemetery was started when Benjamin Childress' Wife Ann Key
Johnson died in 1843. Mr Childress then gave more land for a Cemetery.
Time went on, every one who wished to do so, used the Cemetery to lay away
their family, but it was no ones responsibility to keep it up and no funds
with which to have it done.
When R. I. Williams (about 1929) Was Pastor it was in a deplorable
condition. Led by Mr. Williams a few got togather and talked and what is far
better they went to work, Ward Jones, Mrs Lane, Mr. Childress, Mr. Moore, W.
A. Dawson, and others began to clean up.
Then the Ladies took a part. How they raked leaves, Cut perriwinkle,
honeysuckle etc. Mrs Sam Carroll and Mrs T. A. Harris were among the
workers, this went on for nearly a week. Too much hard Wook had been done to
stop then, So the next year, it was again cleaned off, and Ward Jones and W.
A. Dawson with the aid of Crow bar, tapeline etc. Located all unmarked
graves and lined them up putting a white board Marker at each one.
Then came the First Home Coming. T. E. Johnson was Pastor and L. P.
Bland. Preached the Morning sermon. Up to this time all work had been given
no charge for anything. The Visitors were so pleased at our work, that they
contributed very liberally. That money went to by the Marble Markers that
are numbered. They were then placed at the unmarked graves. In the meantime
Mr. Earle who owned "Canaan Farm" deeded to the Church some more land (two
acres I think.)
The Cemetery was then seeded to grass, it was very hard to get a
stand on the graves the land was so poor. W. A. Dawson cut sod from his
meadows and set it on the graves, taking water out every day from home and
watering the grass so it would root.
All offerings on Home Coming day are for the improvement of the
cemetery and saving for perpetual care.
In 1950 there was a committee appointed to look after the cemetery
namely, Mr. J. C. Childress, Herman Patterson and Martin Dawson. Mr
Childress supervised the building of the new fence.
The unfailing liberality of the Friends, Former Members here and
away, as well as the loyalty of the Home Guard, has made what you see today
possible. Thank You.---

Hi, I am new to the lists and looking for information about Asa R. Greene
b. 1808 in Tn. who married Eliza Childress b. 1818 in Tn. , but they were
living in Jackson Co. Al. I believe she was his second wife, I'm off of his

Eliza's parents were John Childress and Polly Kirby.
Asa has become my stonewall, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Knox Co. Tn Childress searchers:
I am trying to identify the parents of Lannice/Lennis Childress that
married James Crews/Cruse in Knox Co. in 1816. A James Cruse appears in
an 1830s court record with Mitchell Childress Jr. There is also a James
Cruse who is apparently a debtor to the estate of Mitchell Childress Sr.
Thanks
