James W. Childers
"History Of Union And Wallowa Counties"
Oregon History Center Book - Portland, Oregon
It is hardly probable that in a humble sketch, as is this article, there
could real justice be done the life of a worthy pioneer as is he whose
name is at the beginning of the paragraph, for what page has yet
pictured as it is the life of a pioneer? Hardships that are more trying
than can be described, dangers on every hand that those living in the
security of a civilized community can not understand, self-denials at
every turn, and labors without respite, all of these endured and much
more besides, fell to the lot of the brave man who faced the west in the
early sixties and made this country what it is today. James W. Childers
was a man who took his full share in this arduous work and to him it is
just that there should be accorded proper representation in the work
that gives his county's history, and also, too, because of his own
excellent personal characteristics of capabilities and moral worth.
On October 24, 1848, near Memphis, Scotland county, Missouri, James W.
was born to James L. and Mary J. (McDowell) Childers. The father
enlisted in Price's army and served eighteen months, being honorably
discharged at the close of that period. In 1865 the family came across
the plains, settling in Union county, one and one-half miles northwest
from Summerville. The father lived on that farm for thirty years, till
the time of his death, which occurred on November 1, 1896. The mother
died in Summerville on April 21, 1901. Our subject lived with his father
until his marriage, which occurred on June 5, 1870. Miss Emma J.,
daughter of John Q. A. and Louisa (Stout) Tice, then becoming his wife.
Mrs. Tice came to Marion county in 1843 from Iowa, being the second
train that wound its way across the dreary plains, and much trouble was
experienced with the savages. Mr. Tice was a native of New Jersey and
came by the ocean to Portland in 1845.
To our subject and his estimable wife there have been born seven
children: Charles L., deceased; Clara A., wife of John Rhodes, of Elgin;
Lillie M., wife of William Ikle, of New York City; William F., married
to Cora Morelock of Leap; Dora E., wife of Frederick Becker, of Elgin;
Albert L.; Amos E. Mr. and Mrs. Ikle are now on a tour through Europe.
Mr. Ikle is a wealthy Swiss manufacturer, whose interests are at
Gaull,in Switzerland, he being a prominent man of his country.
Mr. and Mrs. Childers lived on their farm near Summerville until 1892,
then moved to Elgin, on a farm, afterward moving into the town, and in
1899 he came to his present place of two hundred and eighty acres, two
and on-half miles southeast from Leap. His farm is well improved and
tilled and is a valuable place. He also handles considerable stock. Mr.
Childers is a charter member of the I. O. O. F., Wallowa Lodge, No. 154,
and he also affiliates with the Masons. He is one of the earliest
pioneers of the Grande Ronde valley and there, as well as here, he has
always labored for the advancement of the country and the interest of
the people, while also he has labored assiduously for the cause of
education and constantly for better facilities for this worthy work, and
in all of his relations he has demeaned himself as a man of uprightness,
probity and sincerity, coupled with ability and integrity.

FRANK P. CHILDERS
Frank P. Childers, the present sheriff of Union county was bornin
Scotland county, Missouri, August 15, 1858, the son of James P. and Mary
(McDowell) Childers. The father was born in Richmond, Virginia, and was
a son of Robert Childers, who left England and went to Kentucky, where
he resided until his son James was two years of age, when he removed to
Missouri.
The mother, Mary McDowell, was the daughter of David McDowell, who moved
from Kentucky to Missouri, where he was engaged in farming and horse
raising. James P. and Mary (McDowell) Childers were married in Missouri
and settled on a farm there. At the time of the gold excitement in
California, James McDowell [sic - Childers] crossed the plains to that
state and engaged mining, in which he was very successful. He then
returned to his family in Missouri and was engaged extensively in
farming until the beginning of the Civil war.
During the war he lost all of his property and in 1865 he crossed the
plains with his family and settled in the Grande Ronde valley, in
Oregon, where he resided on a rented farm for five years and then
homesteaded a tract of one hundred and sixty acres on the northern end
of Summerville prairie, where he reside the rest of his life. He was a
great lover of fine horses and engaged extensively in raising them.
In politics he was a strong democrat. Before coming west he and his wife
were members of the Christian church but they later united with the
Methodist church. They were very hospitable and their home was a common
meeting place for all the residents of the community, the father being
known as "Uncle Jim Childers."
He died on his claim at the age of seventy-three, and his wife also
passed away a few years later at the same age. In their family were the
following sons: Thomas, who preceded his parents to Oregon; John: James;
George, Cyrus; and Frank P., of this review, who were with their parents
while crossing the plains; Charles, who died on the plains and is buried
near the Platte river; and Henry, who was born in Oregon and died at the
age of two years.
Frank P. Childers was seven years of age when his parents came to Oregon
and he was reared and attended the district schools there. After his
school days he engaged in stock raising and farming, residing on one
place five years, and then took up a homestead north of Summerville,
where he lived until he left the farm and engaged in the livery business
at Island City.
Later he came to La Grande and established a livery barn and also
engaged in the butchering business. In 1895 he was elected city marshal
of La Grande, which position he held for five years. In 1905 he was made
sheriff of Union county, in which capacity his now serving.
In 1876 Mr. Childers was united in marriage with Miss Mary Adler Baker,
a native of Iowa and a daughter of John and Margaret (Goodman) Baker,
who crossed the plains from Iowa in 1862 and settled in Oregon. Mr. and
Mrs. Childers have become the parents of six children: Della, who is the
wife of Fred Wagner, a barber, of La Grande; Clive [sic - Olive], who is
captain in the Salvation Army; Wallace, of Portland; Jessie, who died at
the age of sixteen; Myrtle, of La Grande; and Ruth, who died at the age
of six years.
In politics Mr. Childers is a democrat, and fraternally his is
identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, belonging to La
Grande Lodge, No. 16, in which he has filled all the chairs. In Union
county he has organized two lodges, the Elgin and Cone [sic - Cove]. He
also is a member of La Grande Lodge, No. 433, B. P. O. E.; Aerie No. 59,
of the Eagles; and La Grande Lodge, W. O. W. His wife is a member of the
Order of Rebekahs.
While acting as city marshal Mr. Childers made a most commendable
official record and won the good-will of all the residents of La Grande,
and now in discharging the duties of sheriff of Union county he acts
without fear or favor, always accomplishing whatever he undertakes, for
he possesses resolution, perseverance and reliability, all of which make
him a most excellent public official.

THOMAS NATHAN CHILDERS, residing at Silver City, New Mexico, is the
present County Assessor of Grant county, and is a native of the State of
Tennessee. He was born on the 15th of December, 1846, and comes of a
family of English origin that for many generations has resided in
Virginia and Tennessee. His father, Stephen Patton Childers, was born in
Virginia in 1824, and married Miss Elizabeth Stanley, of middle
Tennessee, born in 1828. He was engaged in farming until 1875 and then
turned his attention to merchandising in Seneca, Missouri, where he
still resides. During the Civil war he responded to the President's call
for troops to aid in the preservation of the Union, and served during
the greater part of the struggle as a member of the Western department.
He was ever faithful and true, and his devotion to the old flag and the
cause it represented, joined with that of many other brave men, saved
unbroken the greatest Republic on the face of the globe. He and his wife
were members of the Baptist Church.
Thomas Nathan Childers is the eldest in their family of seven children,
five of whom are still living. They removed to Missouri when he was five
years of age, and in the common schools of that State he acquired his
education. He had hardly passed his fifteenth birthday when the guns of
Fort Sumter wakened the nation to the fact that civil war was upon us.
He eagerly offered his services, but was rejected on account of his age.
That it was no boyish enthusiasm that prompted his enlistment was
manifest in 1862, when in order to enter the army, he assumed the name
of a man who was of sufficient age and continued his service in this way
until the age of seventeen! He then enlisted under his own name, in
Company L, Fifteenth Missouri Calvary, of which was an almost continous
fight. He participated in the battles of Jefferson City, California,
Mexico, Booneville, Lexington, Blues, Osage, and Newtonia, and many
other minor campaigns, and though often in the thickest of the fight
escaped without a wound and was mustered out on the 7th of July, 1865.
The soldier boy returned to his home with an honorable war record of
which he may be justly proud. No time-honored veteran was more faithful
to his duty or more courageously followed the lead of his commander than
he, who after three years of service was still but a youth over whose
head two years would pass ere he attained his majority.
Mr. Childers at once returned to his home in Missouri and there
continued until the 11th of February, 1867, when was celebrated his
marriage to Miss Melvina U. Taylor, a native of Missouri. He then
engaged in farming in that State until 1874, when he sold out and
removed to Texas, where he resided for two years. He then went to the
Indian Territory, where he engaged in farming for seven years, and in
1882 he came to Grant count, New Mexico, where he was engaged in
prospecting and mining in Grant county. He both purchased and sold
mines, and is now the sole owner of the Ninety-one mine (silver).
Mr. Childers has been a Republican since the organization of the party,
and as such was elected in 1894 to the office of Assessor of Grant
county, which position he is now filling in a most acceptable manner. He
has resided in Silver City for eight years, and is fully identified with
her well-being, doing all in his power to advance her best interests.
Securing property, he has erected an excellent residence, which is one
of the most hospitable as well as finest homes. It stands in the midst
of a block, which is owned entirely by him and which is planted with
every variety of fruit-trees.
Mr. and Mrs. Childers have an interesting family of four Children,
namely: James William, Eutharah, Thomas Ernest and Pearl. Mr. Childers
removed to Silver City in order to give his family better educational
privileges. He is thoroughly devoted to their welfare and does all in
his power to enhance their happiness. A valued member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, he passed all the chairs in the local lodge, and
his wife is a Past Grand in the Daughters of Rebekah branch of the
order. Their friends throughout the community are many and their many
excellencies of character have gained them the confidence and good will
of all.

Campsmount,
Cantley Hall, possibly a home around the 7th or 8th century it was known
as Kanteleia in 1209 and Cauntele in 1246, by the late 15th century the
name of Cantley seemed established. Owned by a Saxon called Tochi prior
to the Norman conquest. It was in the possession of Robert de Everingham
around 1280. In 1610, Hugh Childers bought the estate from the Stapleton
family. 1787 saw its transformation into an impressive country mansion.
The link with the Childers family finished when it was sold in 1901 to
Grassmore Collieries. It was in turn sold to the Earl Fitzwiliam of
Wentworth in 1904 and sold for death duty purposes to a Thomas Darley in
1950. He died in 1982 and his wife some five years later. The hall was
later sold to Graham Kirkham.

GREENE COUNTY–
Burrel M. Childers, a well-known and popular farmer and stock raiser,
was born in Madison County, Ala., October 9, 1821. His father, John
Childers, was a native of Georgia, who moved to the State of Alabama
when a young man,
and was there married to Miss Rutha Cown. The parents remained in
Alabama until the year 1824, and then settled in Tennessee, where they
resided up to 1838, when they selected Arkansas as their future home,
and located in
Lawrence County. The elder Childers had an eventful history in his
younger days, and was a soldier in the Black Hawk War. He reared a
family of eleven children, five sons and six danghters, of whom Burrel
M. Childers is the only survivor. Burrel remained with his father until
he was of mature age, and then enlisted in the Mexican War of 1846.
After the war was over and the
treaty had been made, he received his discharge, and returned to
Lawrence County. He settled on his present place in 1849, when this
portion of Arkansas was nothing more than a wilderness, and has lived to
see it grow up [p.780] into a populous and thriving community. Mr.
Childers has since then cleared up about seventy-five acres, and put
them under cultivation, besides
owning 160 acres adjoining. He did, at one time, own over 1,000 acres,
but has divided up with his children. When war was announced between the
North and South he gave his services to the Confederacy, and joined Col.
Shaver's regiment. He was elected lieutenant, and held that rank until
the close of hostilities. During that time he took part in the fights at
Pilot Knob,
Independence, Kansas City, Big Blue and Miner's Creek, where Gen.
Marmaduke was taken prisoner. After the war he returned to Lawrence
County, and has since then been occupied in farming. His first marriage
was to Miss Narcissa
Beavers, of Illinois, who died in 1856. This wife left two children, who
grew to maturity, were married, and left children of their own. Mr.
Childers next married, in this county, Mrs. HOPKINS, a widow lady, of
Indiana, who died in 1883. There are three children living by this wife,
whose names are: C. F., wife of Joseph Lollar; Julis, widow of A. B.
Hogard, and Hezekiah.
His present wife was united to him in 1884, her former name being
Aveline Grider, a daughter of Martin Grider, one of the pioneers of
Randolph County. There are three children by this marriage: Maxie,
Stonewall Jackson and Chaldon. Mr. Childers is a member of the Masonic
order, and is a Royal Arch Mason, belonging to the Eastern Star. He
attends the Christian Church, while his wife is a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and also of the Eastern Star. In the early
days of his settlement in Arkansas, Mr. Childers was a hunter of no mean
pretences. He made a regular business of hunting for ten years, and
together with his brother, killed thirty-six bears, six panthers and a
great number of wild cats, in one spring, besides a quantity
of deer. He has a record of killing eleven deer in one day, while a
companion of his, a Frenchman, killed eleven deer and two bears the same
day. Mr. Childers is a genial and active gentleman, though well advanced
in life, and is very much thought of by his neighbors. He is full of
anecdote, and it is a pleasure to listen to the reminiscences of his
early days, which
none can tell so well as an old settler.

THE ROYAL DESERTERS
The History of Upshur County
West Virginia
>From its Earliest Exploration and Settlement to the Present Time
by
W. B. CUTRIGHT
1907
CHAPTER XVIII.
EARLY SETTLERS AND INDIAN TROUBLES.
ROYAL DESERTERS
The occasion of the first settlers coming into the present limits of
Upshur County is contained in the following story:
Anxiety to settle in the New World was possessing the English Plebeian
at the middle of the 18th century. Old and young alike wanted to reach
American shores and find a home of religious peace and politic freedom.
It mattered little to them in what capacity they came, whether as
indented land tenants, house servants, or as soldiers in the King's
army. The goal of an Englishman's ambition was to get to America, where
freedom of personal action was as boundless as the forests the country
maintained. This the cause of the great immigration from England in the
18th century. In addition to the foregoing reasons the French and Indian
War might be added.
It was during this war that William Childers, John Lindsey, John
Pringle, and Samuel Pringle first saw the shores of America, on which
they were to serve and did serve in the royal army. It was during their
service in that army, garrisoned at Ft. Pitt (now Pittsburg) that they,
tired of martial life, deserted the Fort in 1761 or '62 and ascended the
Monongahela river to the mouth of Georges Creek, afterwards selected by
Albert Gallatin as the site for the town of New Geneva, Pa. Not liking
this location, they remained but a short time. They then traveled
eastward and crossed over to the head waters of the Youghiogheny.
Camping in the glades, they continued to live there about twelve months.
In one of their hunting trips, Samuel Pringle wandered away from his
companions and while alone, pursuing the swiftest deer, came on a much
traveled path which he supposed joined Ft. Pitt to the nearest inhabited
portion of Virginia. Returning to camp, he made known to his companions
his discovery and supposition, and asked them to join him in tracing the
path down. His comrades acceded to his request and at once set about
making ready for their journey. They easily found the trail at the place
Samuel Pringle discovered it, and following it eastwardly, reached
Looney's Creek, then the most remote western settlement (on South
Branch). Looney's Creek heads in Grant County against the east face of
the Allegheny mountains about 15 miles from Bayard. This stream lies ten
miles west of Moorefield and has a total length of about fifteen miles.
While living among the settlements of Looney's Creek, the quartette of
deserters were apprehended. The Pringle brothers escaped and returned to
their camp in the glades where they remained until some time in the year
1764.
A few months after their return to their camp in the glades, the
Pringles were employed by John Simpson, a trapper, to hunt, kill, and
prepare the pelt of fur animals for market. While thus engaged they
decided to prevent possible detection by going deeper into the forest,
and sought to take with them their employer. They had little trouble in
persuading Simpson to go with them, as the glades were becoming common
hunting grounds for the South Branchers. Simpson's motive for moving was
the prospect of enjoying woods, free from the intrusion of other
hunters.
The three started out together and while journeying through the
boundless forest, a violent dispute arose between Simpson and one of the
Pringles. Failing to compromise their trouble and knowing peace would be
necessary to their safety, they separated. This quarrel and separation
took place on Cheat river at the Horse Shoe.
Simpson left his employees and traveled westward until he came to a
stream and gave it the name of Elk. Following this stream to its mouth,
he built a camp here and lived there until permanent settlements were
made in the vicinity.
The Pringles after Simpson left them at the Horse Shoe took up the
Valley river and followed that stream until they came to a large
righthand fork. They forsook the main stream here, and kept up the
branch, now Buckhannon river, for several miles, when they came to a
branch of the branch which was subsequently called Turkey Run on account
of the great abundance of wild turkeys found and killed by the pioneers.
In 1765 they encamped in the cavity of a large sycamore tree at the
mouth of Turkey Run. This specific tree, the subject of so many
fire-side chats and the cause of so much earliest veneration among the
early settlers and their immediate offspring, has bug ago died. Its
descendant, however, still survives and stands on the land of Webster
Dix, who respects it highly and will not destroy it. Yearly large
numbers of close and hard students of West Virginia history visit the
site of the parent sycamore where they are greeted and welcomed by the
grandchild of the parent tree.
The situation of these men during a residence of three years, although
made necessary by their previous treasonable conduct, could not have
been very enviable. Runaways from the King's army, composure of mind was
impossible. The constant fear of discovery must have haunted them ;
savages on all sides, the tomahawk, and scalping knife were ever present
to their imaginations. The dull hoot of the owl, the fierce shriek of
the panther, and the hideous howling of the wolf hourly disturbed their
solitary serenity and made them often long for civilized man's
companionship, sympathy and help.
Buffalo, elk, and deer were abundant in large numbers and gamboled
sportily around their camp. These animals enabled them to supply their
larder easily, but the absence of salt, bread, and every species of
garden vegetable most certainly abated their relish for the delicious
loin of the one, and the haunch of the other.
The scarceness of ammunition, which was their only source of subsistence
in their vicarious life, limited their hunting to the getting of what
was absolutely needed and also forced upon them the shrinking thought of
being driven to the settlements which might discover and apprehend them.
They resisted the idea of returning to the South Branch until they were
actually reduced to two loads of powder.
Necessity then induced John Pringle to leave his brother and make for a
trading post on the Shenandoah where discovery and identity would be at
the minimum. The fall of 1767 saw his departure; the spring of 1768
witnessed his return, several months after the period appointed to join
his brother. Samuel Pringle suffered not a little mentally and
physically by his brother's prolonged absence. His provisions were
nearly exhausted. One load of powder was lost in a fruitless attempt to
fell a buck, and his mind was uneasy because his brother's delayed
return might be taken as recognition, apprehension, court-martial and
death.
However, he determined to brave the perils of the forest as long as he
could, hoping that relief might come. With his last load of powder he
killed a large fine buffalo; soon thereafter, John returned with the
news of peace both with the Indians and the French and a total cessation
of hostility. The Pringles broke up their camp in a day or two.
The two brothers now agreed to leave their exile in the wilderness and
seek the settlements where trials arid vicissitudes of frontier life
were shared in common. They no doubt left their forest habitation with
some regret. They had become attached to every object around them. They
could see "tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in
stones, and good in everything." The tree in whose cavity they had
sheltered from storm and winter's cold, always offered safe protection,
arid was honored by them with so much adoration that they determined to
come back to it as soon as they could prevail upon a few others to
accompany them and share this bountiful forest and this asylum of their
exile.
Among the classes of people who composed the frontier settlements of
that day, the task of inducing some to remove was not difficult. To
acquire land was a great motive which made the settlements of the South
Branch, and many had failed entirely in locating and holding their
claims; others had to occupy poor and broken situations off the river on
what seemed barren mountains-all on account of prior locations and
surveys taking up the fertile bottoms and the more desirable uplands.
The second motive for. removing, was the passion for hunting (which was
a ruling one with many) and the domain of its satisfaction was the
plentifulness of game. Both of these objects could be attained in the
country whence the Pringle brothers proposed to form the settlement.
There can be no doubt that the Pringles were greatly assisted in their
endeavors by the sympathy and encouragement of a woman, one Charity
Cutright, between whom and Samuel Pringle an abiding affection, which
terminated in a marriage and a happy family, had sprung up at the time
the four deserters were living among the settlers on Loony's Creek.
Their marriage occurred after the return of the Pringle brothers to the
South Branch settlements.
This woman enlisted the aid of her brother, John Cutright, and he in
turn interested his youthful friends and neighbors. The contagion spread
from one to another until the time of immigration arrived. So many had
been enlisted that the Pringle brothers were considered heros and the
founders of Upshure County.
Any one have any additions, corrections, to my VA civil war file here?
