The Dry Ridge Baptist Church
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fourth church to be organized in the area that would become Grant
County was initially known as The Baptist Church at The
Dryridge--Freewill. With the assistance of Elders Benjamin Lambert and
Alexander Monroe, the other "helps" from Mountain Island, Union, and
Forks of the Licking (Falmouth) Churches, the Dry Ridge Church was
constituted on July 12, 1817 with the following original members: Henry
Childers Sr., Thomas Childers, William G. Childers, Major Childers,
William Childers, James Thomas, Mary Childers, Sarah Thomas, Elizabeth
Childers, Mary Landrum, Elizabeth Lay.
The first minister, and twelfth member was Elder Christian Tomlin, a
native of Virginia who moved here from the Ohio Territory in 1817.
Initially, services were held in the meeting house built in 1799 and
shared with the Old Baptists under the agreement reached in 1818. This
agreement was formalized in a deed dated July 12, 1820 to Simon Nichols,
Robert Childers Sr., William Childers, and their successors as Trustees
of the Dry Ridge Meeting House which is ". . . . for all societies to
worship in who please and said lot is also intended for the purpose of
erecting thereon a public school . . . ."

This is some of what I posted last Friday. I could sure use some help.
My Milton Childers went by M.J. Childers mustered from Warren (Bradley Co.)
Arkansas in 1861 Confederate Army(age 18). He was in the Company I, 2nd
Reg. I just got his death certificate last week and it listed his father
as Andrew(born in MS). I got his pension today and that's where he went in
the service.
Do you have any Childers information or know of anyone working this
Childers? I did not see him in the 1850 census. he would have been 7. He
was born in 12/26/1843.
just a note for you --the middle name "J" has been used in the marriage
bond, and death certificate and on a census as "Joshua". On the pension and
a couple of other census AKA Jim and James were used. This is the same
person. Maybe he hated the name Joshua (we really do not know why he used
the 2 different Middle names).
Any leads would be appreciated!! I want to find his siblings and parents.

*****************************************
>From a Brown Co. TX History
Missionaries of the Methodist Church took the lead in organizing
churches in the day of the frontier. Two missionaries, George Vest and
William Mayberry, who conducted religious services in Hamilton and
Comanche counties, came into Brown County in 1862 and instituted a
church on Blanket Creek. A year later the same men led in the movement
for a second Methodist Church in Hanna Valley near the Colorado River.
Just as the Civil War closed Elisha Childress established a circuit of
six Methodist churches. Three additional churches of the same faith
including the First Methodist Church of Brownwood came into existence
before 1882.
The Missionary Baptists were not far behind the Methodists. It was not,
however, until the mid-seventies that organized churches appeared among
the Baptists. The New Prospect Baptist Church was organized in 1875 and
John May was the first pastor. The same year witnessed the organization
of New Hope Baptist Church on Jim Ned Creek. J. M. Perry was pastor of
this church. The year, 1876, saw five new Baptist churches, including
the First Baptist Church in Brownwood. The Baptists organized the Pecan
Valley Baptist Association, September 6, 1876, with six churches
represented.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Brownwood resulted from the labors
of S. M. Lewis, an itinerant missionary of the Little River Presbytery.
Lewis held a meeting in Brownwood during the summer of 1875. He returned
in September at the request of the Presbyterians and constituted the
church September 6, 1875.
The Southern or Old School Presbyterians organized the First
Presbyterian Church in Brownwood September 10, 1876. Dr. B. T.
McClelland led in the founding of the church and became the first
pastor.
Next in order or organization came the Episcopalians. The Episcopal
Church in Brownwood came into existence in 1882 with Peter Wager as the
first rector.
No other churches save the Christians in 1888 and the Catholics in 1896
were organized in the county before 1900.
Fraternal organizations had a part in the life of the frontier. The
Masonic order in Brownwood came into being in 1865 and is at this time
the oldest social body in the county. Other Masonic lodges appeared at
Thrifty, Williams Ranch, May and Blanket during the frontier era.

Hi,

Reg. I just got his death certificate last week and it listed his father
as Andrew(born in MS). I got his pension today and that's where he went in
the service.
Do you have any Childers information or know of anyone working this
Childers? I did not see him in the 1850 census. he would have been 7. He
was born in 12/26/1843.
just a note for you --the middle name "J" has been used in the marriage
bond, and death certificate and on a census as "Joshua". On the pension and
a couple of other census AKA Jim and James were used. This is the same
person. Maybe he hated the name Joshua (we really do not know why he used

Any leads would be appreciated!! I want to find his siblings and parents.

Squire HENDRIX b. 1782 d. >30 MAY 1835 (Some say he was b. 1770 Granger
Co., VA) Squire married 24 NOV 1798 Knox Co., TN Polly HACKWORTH, bond
by Luke HENDRIX. Squire HENDRIX was on the Anderson Co., TN tax list in
1805. Signed a petition for a road north of Walden's Ridge on the waters
of the Emory River in APR 1812 in Roane Co., TN. He appeared in the 1814
Roane Co., TN tax list in Capt. HALL's Co. (pg 7), with 40A on the Big
Emery River and 1 white poll. The 1815 tax list had him in the same
location but without acreage. Squire HENDRICK was commissioned Capt.
14th Reg. TN Militia in Roane Co. on 29 AUG 1810. Squire HENDRIX
purchased 100A in Anderson Co., TN on the East Fork of Poplar Creek for
$400 on 16 FEB 1805 from James PORTER. Deed witnessed by William GAMBLE
& Matthew HAWKINS. Squire sold the land back to PORTER for the same
price on 14 SEP 1807 but the deal must not have been consummated since
Squire (of Roane Co) sold 114A on the East Fork of Poplar Creek in
Anderson Co., TN for $500 to Mitchel CHILDRESS on 5 JUN 1809. Isaac
STANDIFER and James PORTER witnessed the deed. [Austin HACKWORTH
witnessed an Anderson Co., TN deed on 15 JAN 1813 when Isaac LOW sold
10A between Scarborough Ferry and Poplar Creek for $20 to Carter
HENDRIX. Gabriel HACKWORTH witnessed the deed as well. Austin was
Polly's brother. Who was Carter HENDRIX??] Squire moved to Sequatchie
Valley in Marion Co., TN where he was in the 1830 census (p.63;
12013001-0102001, same page as his brother in law Austin HACKWORTH,
210001-010001). After Polly died (<30 MAY 1835) he sold all his land
(290A) and livestock to his sonsTarlton and Lewis before moving to
Missouri, where he died.
The bio. of the husband of Bettie Childress, of of the prettiest belle's of
the South.
Major-General John Calvin Brown was born in Giles County, January 6,
1827. When nineteen years of age he was graduated at Jackson college,
Tenn., and two years later was admitted to the bar at Pulaski. From that
time (1848) until May, 1861, he practiced law successfully. He then
entered the Third infantry regiment of the provisional army of Tennessee
as captain, and on the 16th of May was commissioned colonel of that
regiment, which, with the other soldiers of Tennessee, became part of
the provisional army of the Confederate States upon the accession of
Tennessee to the Southern Confederacy. At the battle of Fort Donelson
(February 14-16, 1862) we find Colonel Brown commanding the Third
brigade of General Buckner's division, and acting a conspicuous part in
the charge which opened the way for the retreat of the Confederate army
to Nashville. The fact that the opportunity was not improved detracts
nothing from the gallant achievement of the men who made that brilliant
charge. When, on the 16th, the fort was surrendered, Colonel Brown
became a prisoner of war and remained in the enemy's hands for six
months. Shortly after his exchange he was commissioned as
brigadier-general (August 30, 1862). He participated in the Kentucky
campaign, and was wounded at the battle of Perryville, October 8, 1862;
with his usual gallantry fought at Chickamauga, where he was again
wounded, and recovered in time to act an heroic part at Missionary
Ridge. In all the movements of the Dalton- Atlanta campaign he was
distinguished, and on the 4th of August, 1864, he was commissioned
major-general. In Hood's gallant but disastrous effort to retrieve the
waning fortunes of the Confederacy by his Tennessee campaign, General
Brown was again among the foremost, commanding Cheatham's division. In
the fierce charge at Franklin, in which so many of the choicest spirits
of the army of Tennessee laid down their lives, he was severely wounded.
At the close of the war he resumed the practice of law at Pulaski, Tenn.
He was a member of the constitutional convention which met at Nashville
in 1870. The next year he was elected governor of the State, being the
first Democrat chosen to that position after the war. He was the second
member of his family to be thus honored, his brother, Neil S. Brown,
having been governor from 1847 to 1849. One of the leading issues of
Governor Brown's administration was the State debt, which at the
beginning of his term amounted to $43,000,000 bonded, besides a large
floating debt. At the close of his administration in 1875 (he having
served two terms), the bonded debt had been reduced to $20,000,000, the
large floating debt had been paid, and the credit of the State had been
fully re- established. After retiring from the executive office he
engaged in every position which he held. In 1864 he married Miss Bettie
Childress, one of the most beautiful and cultured women of the South.
Their elegant home was in Nashville. The death of General Brown occurred
at Red Boiling Springs, Tenn., August 17, 1889.

I don't know if you remember but I sent you some info on which of the 3-4
Civil War vets my M.J. could possibly be and we narrowed it down to (the AR.
2nd. inf. company i) :
You wrote:
i think # 2 is your man or at least he makes more sense , he spent most of
his time of the war out east # 3 is not he never left the area west of the
miss. at least during the war. if #1 and #2 are the same you will find out
when you get records for #2. #1 probably did no more than parade around for
the locals.
==================
Well I just got M.J's or J.M's death certificate and it listed that he was
born in Mississippi and that his Father was also born in Mississippi. It
listed his Fathers name as Andrew and Mother as Jane Childers.
My G Grandmother told my Mom that his family was from AR and M.J. came from
AR. and on several of the census' we have Mississippi as place of birth for
him and his parents. And we also have it being NC. (which we know for a
fact is wrong). They went to visit the family when Dora was 9. She
remembers because she said she remembered the ride on the ferry across the
Mississippi. So maybe he was born in Mississippi and then they moved to Ar.
when he was small???
So my GGG Grandfather (M.J.Childers Dad) was Andrew. That's new hot off
the press! Joshua has more AKA's than I have ever seen. The death
certificate says Milton Joshua Childers. The Marriage bond says Joshua
Meilton Childers, A Newspaper article that was written about him in 1923
(which I have a copy of) calls him Jim, one census-James, another census
Joshua, another M.J. ----
How about this---- He listed is mother as "Jane Childers" he married Jane
Ann Sellers.
Mom said the Doctor just made a mistake but I did find a Andrew Childers who
married a Jane! I can anyone tell me if this family was still in AR. in the
1860's??
I found a family in AR. 1850 census
Father: Andrew
Mother: Jane
and a boy age 4-5? named James (he was born 1843-44?) died unknown by the
researcher doing this family.
==================
probably not him???
but this James had siblings named
Alfred D. (also called A.D.)
Mary
William
Martha
===================
the "rootsweb tree" said he was from AR.,
After the Civil War M.J. stayed and married in NC.
Daughter -Dora Lee- said they went back to see his family in AR. (she was
age 9)
=========================
our M.J. had a wife named Jane
also they named
1 kid Aulcie Daniel (they called him A.D.)
had other kids he named
Mary
Martha
William
========================is this my GGG Grandfathers family? don't know yet.
I sent off for his Civil War pension file. Sure hope it provides a better
answer. So I just keep hunting.
=========================
Just thought I would throw you a bone since you are bored........hope you
feel better.
Maybe someone can help me with this.
TYLER, ORVILLE THOMAS (1810-1886). Orville Thomas Tyler, early settler
and legislator, was born at West Brookfield, Massachusetts, on August
28, 1810. In 1834 he traveled to Texas in a sailboat and located his
headright above the three forks of Little River near the site of present
Belton. He was a merchant in Houston in 1837, and in 1839 he settled at
Nashville. About 1844 he entered the cattle business in Austin County,
where he became county commissioner. In the late 1840s he moved to
Coryell County and engaged in farming and stock raising. He became chief
justice upon the organization of the county in 1854. Tyler was called
"Judge" because of his service as chief justice, but he was never a
lawyer. He married Carolyn Childers in 1850, and they had three sons and
two daughters. In 1862 Tyler was elected to represent the Sixty-first
District in the House of the Tenth Legislature, where he served as
chairman of the committee on privileges and elections. In 1864 he moved
to Salado. He lived there for twenty years and was president of the
board of trustees of Salado College. He moved to Belton in 1884, where
he died on April 17, 1886. He was a Mason and Baptist.

TYLER, GEORGE W. (1851-1927). George W. Tyler, historian, lawyer, and
politician, was born in Coryell County, Texas, on October 31, 1851, the
son of Orville and Caroline (Childers) Tyler. In 1864 he moved to
Salado, where he graduated from Salado College in 1871. He then attended
the University of Virginia and Eastman National Business College in
Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1873. He graduated from Lebanon Law School in
Tennessee in 1874. He practiced law in Belton and married Sue Wallace in
1878; they had two children. He represented the Twenty-third District in
the Senate of the Twenty-first and Twenty-second legislatures, 1888-92.
As a legislator, he authored the Texas Arbor Day law, and, according to
some sources, originated the idea of a Railroad Commission.qv For many
years he was president of the trustees of the Belton public schools, and
he was on the board of regents of the University of Texas from 1925 to
1927. In 1912 Tyler retired from active law practice and devoted much
time to the study of local history. His History of Bell County was
edited by Charles W. Ramsdellqv and published posthumously in 1936.
Tyler was also very active in Masonic affairs and served as grand master
of the Grand Lodge of Texas in 1890. He is credited with helping to
organize the first grand lodge in Mexico. He died on October 11, 1927,
and is buried in Belton Cemetery.
