I am working on four seperate Childers lines across the upper part of South
Carolina. My ancestor is Jacob Childers born in Virginia in 1762 and brought
to North/South Carolina when he was three months old. By whom, I don't know.
He settled in the York County, S.C. area and died there in 1844. Anyway, in
the search for his ancestors and decendants, I have uncovered four different
sets of Childers who might be related if I could go back just one or two more
generations. One group is in Anderson County, S.C., another group is in
Greenville County, S.C., and the last group seems to have moved in from the
mountains of North Carolina. I will help or be helped.
Jerry, somewhere out here in the Carolinas.
Since Mosby Childers was not in my line I have lost some of my source
records but this is what I have ;
Philamon Childers,Sen.'will 6th May 1717 names his children as
Philamon,Jr.,Abram,Thomas,and dau,Mary Smith.
Then I have This Abraham m Susan Goolsby(DAU of Thomas Goolsby and Lucy
Bryant) in 1746.He lists his children as William,
MOSBY (MOSES), And Abraham JR.
All of this was found in Henrico Cty. VA, but it has been about 20
years since I did this research so I am sure you can find much more.
Good searching to you

I have a ggguncle (Robert Smith Childress) married to Margaret C. Cook 11 Jan 1851, in Layfette Co. MS.
>>> <Tps914(a)aol.com> 08/28/98 05:22PM >>>
Hi Group,
Instead of this being an inactive group, let's all do a roll call type
thing, and let everyone know what Childers line we are researching!!!
I am researching a branch of Childers...two actually, that have married into
my Cook line. They are from Burke County, North Carolina.
Both of my Cook ggaunts...Spicy Cook married Milton Childers in the mid
1800's, and Martha Jane Cook married Bogle Childers.
At first it was thought that these two were brothers, but I have found each
of their marriage records, and they list different parents for each Childers
man. I have that information if anyone here is researching the same line.
So, who are YOUR Childers?????

researching Cook/Cooke, Franklin, Hildebrand, Childers, Fowler, Keever
families in North Carolina
Milton/Melton family in Virginia
Goff, Kohart and Schmidt families in Kansas
I'm still looking for the parents of my grandfather, WILLIS B.
CHILDERS, born 1900 (April 15), I believe in Williamson Co., IL
Willis (Buck) maybe born out of wedlock. Identity of his natural
father is not know. His mother died when he was about 4 or 5 years old
and was raised by Aunts and Uncles. He evidently knew the names of his
parents but for some reason choose not to talk about this with his
family. He died in Williamson Co in 1969.
The 1910 census shows he lived with his Uncle Charley HURLEY and Aunt
Dona (CHILDERS?) HURLEY.
> 1910 Williamson Co., IL Corinth Township
> Hurley, Charley Head 34 m13yrs IL NY Germany
> Doaney Wife 32 m13yrs IL IL IL
> Nilla Dau 11 IL IL IL
> Cora Dau 7 IL IL IL
> Childers, Willis Nephew 10 IL IL IL
In 1920 census he shows as living with James Monroe CHILDERS and
Martha/Mattie (CRAIN) CHILDERS, listed as a nephew.
I believe he shares connections with the Childers family (somewhat)
documented in the book _Cast A Long Shadow_ by Ruth Childers Seamands.
I would like to hear from anyone who also has ties to Childers in
Williamson Co, IL.

Hi Gang,
Here's my Granny Childers:
Synthia Emmerine Childers b. 1832 TN, d. 1921 Hickory Co., MO; m. Oscar
Tapp b. abt 1820 TN or VA. Children:
James M. b. abt 1850,
Mariah "Tennessee" b. 1857 MO; m. Alfred Kindle
Mary b. abt 1858
Missouri b. 1860 Polk Co., MO; m Leander Kindle
(Unknown)
Synthia's mother and father were both born in Virginia. Oscar and Synthia
lived in St. Clair Co., MO and in the Hickory/Camden/Benton Co. areas of
Missouri. Synthia was a midwife and raised several grandchildren and
nieces and nephews in addition to her own children.
I'd appreciate any help with this clan.

Hi Sandra-
I'm also a Chilton and having a hard time finding Anyone with my Chilton line.
My Grandfather was James William Chilton and he was born Nov. 8 , 1870 in
Tennessee. My father says that James' father was named Samuel and that his
wife was named Adelaide Mayes who was from Texas. The only Samuel Chilton
I've found was b. 1840 in Jefferson, Tennessee, and Mother and father were
James Chilton b. 1796 and Nancy J Clark b. 1800.
Do you have any more info about Chiltons in Tennessee??
My family is in Calif. My sister is also named Sandra!! Well, I hope, as
you, we can find more info from others.

Seeking parents and siblings of Frances "Fanny" Childers, b. 1852, Lumpkin or
Hall Co. GA; m. David Alexander Putman on 27 Dec 1870, Jefferson Co. AR; d.
circa 1895, Mills (?) Co. TX.
Fanny may have been orphaned at a very early age. I believe she is living in
the Amos STRAWN household in Jefferson Co. AR in 1860, and know she is in the
Martha McCLOUD household in Jefferson Co. AR in 1870.
Any leads appreciated.

I'm stuck at Isam (or Isom) Childers (or Childress) of Russell Co., VA., b ca 1785. Family lore is that he was a War of 1812 vet, but I haven't been able to confirm that. He has turned upon documents from Russell County, though, proving up deeds and such. I've found him in the Russell Co. tax roles up through 1810. However, I know nothing about his family (parents, siblings, etc.) in Russell County. I think he may have been in the part of Russell Co. that became Scott Co. in 1814. I do know there were a tantalizing number of Childers in Russell County around this time from the Abraham Childers (of Henrico Co.) line, but I've never been able to make the connection.
Isam married Mary ("Polly") Ritchie of Botetourt Co., VA. She was born ca 1790. Mary ("Polly") Ritchie was the daughter of James Ritchie (b. ca 1755, apparently in Scotland) and Mary ("Polly") Keith, b. ca 1755.
This Mary ("Polly") Keith was the daughter of Samuel Keith, had other children besides Mary("Polly"): Gabriel Keith, Rueben Keith and Henry Keith.
James Ritchie and Mary ("Polly") Keith had at least two other children besides Mary ("Polly") Ritchie: John Ritchie and Alexander Crockett Ritchie.
Like so many others, Isam and Mary left Russell Co. and immigrated to the west. They may have settled in New Madrid, MO by 1816. They were in Lawrence Co., ARK by 1824, and raised four sons and two daughters. Isam died in Lawrence Co., ca 1858.
Most of their children were born in Russell or Scott Counties:
James R. Childers b 1804
Elizabeth Childers b 1808
Joseph Childers b 1810
Alexander Crockett Childers, b 9/3/1811
Esquire (or Squire) Childers, b ca 1814
Nancy Childers b 1818 (apparent not in VA)
I'd very much appreciate any help or suggestions you might have! I have a good deal of information about this line after Isam, if this proves to be of any interest to you.

Just want to make sure that all the Childers/Childress know about the

Want to add my two cents.
I still have a $500.00 reward posted for the parents of Mosby Childers
Mosby was born about 1759 I think in Albermarle County, Virginia, at least
that where he inlisted in the Rev. War. After the war we find him
Rockingham County, Virginia where he married a Elizabeth Jeffries, we have
very little data on her. Mosby died 3 Aug 1843 in Hancock County, IN. Lived
most of his life in Gallia County, Ohio.
I need proof of who his parents were.
This is the data we have on Mosby
otes; the grave of Mosby Childers has not been located. Probably he was
buried in the Hayes graveyard in Brown County, Indiana as his daughter Mary
Childers Walker who died July 24,1841 was buried there., Also he may have
been buried in the Busby Graveyard in Fall Creek Twp., Madison County,
Indiana where his daughter Elizabeth Childers Surber, who died Oct. 7,
1814, was buried.
General; The Albemarle County, Virginia Land Patents began in 1729. The
records of these deeds and patents are incomplete; some for many years
being entirely missing. Two items might prove of value. in 1752 William
Childers of Cumberland Parish bought 250 acres on Glovers Creek adjoining
some land in the parish of Southham owned by William's brother Moses
Childers. in the year 1752 Robert Thompson of Southham Parish, County of
Sumerland, sold 250 areas to Moses Childers of the parish and County
aforesaid. This land was on Glovers Road, being part of a tract of 1140
acres lying in Albemarle, granted to said Thompson by patent issued at
Williamsburg, Virginia bearing the date July 20,1748.
A muster roll of Captain Whites Company of Virginia contains this item,
Mosby Childers, Corporal, age 20, Amherst County, Virginia. Enlisted
Dec.18, 1779; served 18 months. Included among the Pension Papers at
Washington, D. C. is a paper very faded and indistinct, reading in part;
Jan. 29,1780. Receipt for bounty pay and clothing; These are---certify that
Mosby Childers, formerly a soldier in he 5th Va. Regiment has duly and
faithfully served through 3 years. For which he enlisted returned to his
home free and unmolested he having received his bounty pay and clothing at
Philadelphia Pa.
The Childers family in America has many descendants. The name infrequently
spelled Childress, Childres, Childrey, Childre, or Childray. The family is
said to be of Scotch-Irish or Welsh extraction. The original emigrant to
America has not been detemined. The earliest record we have of a Childers
in America is that of Abraham Childers, a Virginia planter living on the
James River to Curles, about ten miles below the falls (Richmond). in
1661 we find a Mr. Childers owning property in Jamestown, Va. Jamestown was
at that time the capitol of the Colonies. The property seems to be a
one-half acre town lot. in 1678 and 1680 we find Abraham Childers and
Philemon Childers, planters, with large land holdings living on the James
River in the vicinity of Curles and Bermuda Hundred a few miles below the
Falls (Richmond).
During the next hundred years the family spread throughout the entire James
River Valley, but up to the time of the Revolutionary war they were
practically unheard of outside of the Valley. The records are numerous, but
they are also fragmentary and incomplete. Immediately following the
Revolutionary War the Childers family joined the general westward migration
from Virginia. The 1790 census shows 16 families of the name, all of them
in or near the mountainous sections. By 1860 we find them in Georgia,
Kentucky and other states.
Mosby Childers. Our earliest determined ancestor was born between 1747 and
176O. in 1780 he gave his age as 19 and in l840 as 93. When enlisting in
the Virginia militia for the Revolutionary services he said he was born in
the Albemarle County of Virginia. The evidence points to the Albemarle,
Amherst, or Cumberland County of Virginia. The probability is that he was
born near 1759. At the time of his enlistment he was described thus;
-"Farmer;
-ht.5'5, brown hair, hazel eyes, and fair complexion.
Mosby Childers was married to Elizabeth Jeffries on March 8th,1785, by the
Rev. John Alderson. The ceremony took place where the town of Alderson,
Augusta County, Virginia, now stands at the Baptist church organized in
1881, the first church to be organized in what is now West Virginia.
Record of the marriage may be found on page 158 of 'Virginia Valley
Records' by John W. Wayland. Family tradition is that Elizabeth Jeffries
was related to Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States.
They lived in Greenbrier County, Virginia, in 1786, and by 1810 were in
Mason County, Virginia. He was a farmer by occupation. He lived in Gallia
County, Ohio, in 1812. He sold his land there in 1831 and was found next
in Hancock County, Indiana in 1840. He died there, 3 Aug. 1843, and is
buried in Brown Township, Hancock County, Indiana.
Census Records indicate That Mosby And Family Moved To Mason County, Va.
(Now WV) From Greenbrier County, Va. ( Now WV) Between 1786 And 1810. The
Move To Gallia County Ohio, Was From Mason County After 1810 And Probably
Before 1816. Revolutionary War Military Records indicate That Mosby Was
Born Between 1751 And 1760.

Where is Mosby Childers???
Mosby Childers was a soldier serving his struggling, young country in the
American Revolutionary War. He enlisted at Charlottesville, Virginia, in
the Seventh Virginia Regiment under Captain Matthew Dewltt and 9aw action
in the battles of Brandywine and Monmouth. In old age he received a pension
for this service.
Mosby died in Brown Township 3 August 1843 and descendants of his eleven
children hang on a forest of Hancock County family trees.
Despite years of effort by genealogical searchers, his exact burial site
has not been discovered.
The consensus of opinion seems to be that, indeed, he was buried at Hays
Cemetery but as his pension record states was "a poor man" and had no money
for a gravestone. It seems probable that the natural red rock, upright in
the ground, with initials M.C. sacratched into it could well be the
headstone for the grave of Mosby Childers?
Interesting Note form the "History of Hancock Coundy. Indiana" by J. H.
Binford , King & Binford Publishers, Greenfiel, indiana 1882. Page 92 list
Mosby Childers as one of the first settlers along with his son-in-law Seth
Walker.
Page 96 we again find Mosby under Muders, Suicides and Remarkable Deaths.
"it was in this Township that a Mr. Bell, brother of Senator Bell, of
Madison County, was eaten by wolves in 1838. His body was found by Mosby
Childers north-west of Nashville in a badly mutilated condition. His bones,
and fragments of his clothing and pocket-book, were picked up in different
places. Cause of death was never known."
Would the person who sent the message concerning them PLEASE re-send the
message. I somehow managed to delete it. I think that was the only one, but
if anyone sent a response and you don't hear from me in the next couple of
days, please contact me again. Sorry.
What information do you want on Abraham's children? I descend from Hulda.
She had a daughter, Pauline Preston, daughter of Albert Preston ( Albert
married Sarilda after Hulda died) who married Henry Jeff Childers, son of
Robert Childers and Jentz Vanhoose.
Henry is my GGrandfather. He is buried in the cemetary next door to
Sarilda's Grandson.
I have been trying to research all of the kids of Abraham and Robert for a
long time.
Keep in touch.
I guess it it time to post my brick wall again:
The family story was that Thomas Cameron CHILDRESS, b. 12 Jan
1869/1872/1876, Alabama, m. Antonio Belle HOCK, 1 Jan 1890 in Limestone
Co. TX, d. 24 Nov 1947, Valley Mills, Bosque Co., Texas was an orphan who
ran way to be a horsejockey. Recent contact with another branch of the
family told
more of the story. About 1880, Thomas and his parents were on the way
west.
Near FortGriffin, Texas, the mother died in childbirth. The father turned
back to
live with relatives in Milam County, Texas. The relatives were Dr.William
TREADWELL and his wife Cynthia. Sometime later, Thomas father died
suddenly of a heart attack. Dr. Treadwell had promised Thomas a horse when
he turned twelve years old, but reneged on the promise. Thomas ran away
from home.
Dr. William TREADWELL registered as a physician in Milam County, Texas in
1878 on the authority the Medical College of Georgia. The Treadwells were
in Benton, AL in 1850; Cherokee, AL in 1860; St. Clare, AL in 1870; and
Milam, TX in 1880. In 1870, next door in St.Clare, AL was R.D. TREADWELL,
with a 22 year old single man living in the household named TALOR CHILDRESS.
Was Dr. TREADWELL Thomas grandfather? Was TALOR CHILDRESS his father? Or
was Cynthia TREADWELL a CHILDRESS and Talor her brother?
Any CHILDRESS / TREADWELL connections?

OK...
Since everyone is sending their branches of the Childers' tree, I thought
I'd send mine. I'm stuck at Charles Louis Childers. I found his first
family in either the 1850 or 1860 census log of Virginia, but since the
logs were in Fort Wayne, IN, and I live in Rochester, I haven't been able
to go back any farther. If anyone has access to those reports, please let
me know.
The following is what I have so far. The code I have for each descendant
follows the code that I found in a book for my mom's side's geneology
(Olmsted). I've started with Charles Louis as the base. His first child
(Charles Oak(e)y) is 1. Charles Oak(e)y's first child would be 1-1 (first
child's first child), and so on.
My spot ends up being 1-3-1-2 (first child's third child's first child's
second child). I still have a lot of gaps in these branches due to my late
start, as well as quite a bit of non-communication between the older
cousins in the 3rd generation.
Thanks for the help in advance. Hope this helps out somebody.
