Gwinnett County Schools
(speech given during a conference )
In 1864, my great-great grandmother, Sarah Childers, was born in Jackson
County, North Carolina. She married Billy Childers, a Cherokee Indian, in
Glennville, North Carolina, in approximately 1880. Sometime around 1882, she
discovered that she had a gift and a "calling" in life, midwifery, which she
pursued with consistency, dedication, and total commitment until her death in
1939. During her years as a midwife in the mountains of North Georgia, South
Carolina, and North Carolina, she "birthed a whole passel of younguns,"
including six of her own--one of whom became a secretary in the White House
during President Hoover's administration.During one of these years, about
1898, Sarah Childers was summoned to the home of a local resident on the
other side of the mountains. "Granny" Childers lived in Glennville, and the
local resident lived in Sylva, about twenty miles away. The weather was
snow, sleet, and ice as she began her ride on horseback over the mountains in
the middle of the night. When she arrived at the home, she slipped going up
the steps, and in the fall, she broke her hip. She did not tell the
prospective father; instead, she went in, delivered the baby, then rode home
to care for her own children.I have thought about this story many times
because it reminds me of the importance of commitment. It reminds me that my
"calling" is important and that my efforts in the pursuit of my calling as an
educator must be consistent, continuous, without fear, and unswerving.Sarah
Childers, I have been told, had several standards in life that affected her
role as a midwife. The results of these standards may be seen in the success
of her ancestors. Her standards were simple as reflected in the story I have
shared:1. Give your best at all times.2.Never complain or make
excuses.3.Don't let anything stop you from doing what you have to do.Just as
I have considered the standards by which my great-great grandmother lived, I
have thought for many months now about the standards we have as middle level
educators. A standard is a norm, an expected behavior, the "way things are
done." Our standards are equal to those of Sarah Childers because we simply
have committed to give our best to the students we serve--to accept each as
an individual--and we are not deterred from educating them all. Since school
has started, I have had the pleasure of seeing these standards in action each
day in the classrooms of the school in which I work.In closing, I want to
remind you that middle level education is a noble profession; to me,
personally, it is the most noble. However, today it is not for the "faint of
heart" but, instead, for those who are totally committed and truly want to
make a difference. As you make that difference in 1995-96, I want to
continue to wish you the best and encourage you to be involved with the
Georgia Middle School Association. Through our commitment together, we will
offer a greater experience for Georgia's "students in the middle."

I've added Childers/Childress civil war pension records to the states of
Indiana (one of my favorites:-) and Ohio. Also I've added two links, one
presents an arm chair tour of many of the major battlefields. The other site
is a colection of books on line, that being primary sources of life in the
South before, during and after the Civil War.
Also I've been sent two more photos (THANKS A LOT FOLKS!!!!) one of -
John Marion Childress, Company C, 1st Georgia Infantry, C.S.A. and Isaac
Childress, 27th TN Calvary Co. A. both are post war. Those should be posted
in a day or so.
i'M working on the rest of the union pension files. As always I'm
open to any questions or comments.

**STATEMENT OF INTENT**
This is an open invitation to attend the 2nd annual homecoming/reunion of
our pioneer families that settled, lived, raised their children, and
sometimes died in this area. Some sank deep roots and others moved on,
scattering our ancestors from coast to coast. Our purpose is to have fun,
get acquainted, and swap genealogical information. The above is a list of
the families which we know for sure had ties in early East Tennessee and the
ones we have some information on. However, (Sorry all surnames are CLOSED

here or not! There will be a wealth of information to share. Plan on
attending please! We Do Need A Head Count, To, NOT over book, However.
(Numbers of persons coming) is needed. We would love to have volunteers for
all the names on the list (except Brown and Coffman, which we have
well-covered) to act as co-hosts/co-hostesses to greet and help people with
their surname feel welcome and to help them meet researchers working on the
same surname. To those of you with East TN roots who don't have much
extended family and therefore don't have a reunion, this is your chance to
bring your immediate family members and join ours. We want everyone to have
fun, feel welcomed, and enjoy themselves. **That's What Tennessee Stands
For: THE VOLUNTEER STATE ** "Where pride walks and the flag flies!"**

INFORMATION YOU HAVE AVAILABLE...

5. A chair or blanket to sit on...If you are serving as
a host or hostess, you will also need a small table

--------------------------
Last year was our first attempt to pull all these early settlers'
descendants together. As far as we knew, it had never been attempted
before. It was a resounding success for a first attempt, and it was agreed
that it should become an annual event.
This area is so very rich in history, both as an Indian frontier and as an
isolated jewel of Union sympathy during the Civil War. It also served as a
departure point for westward movement and new settlement.
Our ancestors left us a rich heritage, which we are striving to preserve and
pass on to our children and grandchildren. This rich tapestry of ideals and
values is what made us a great nation and what made each of us what we are
today. And it began with our earliest immigrant ancestors who came here to
start a new life and a new country.
COME and SHARE that heritage with us on July 13-14. We are looking
forward to making many new friends!!

Edwin A. Clark
Maj. Edwin A. Clark, a prominent official of Jackson, was born in
Charlotte, N.C., in 1826. His father, Jonas Clark, was born in Maryland, in
1759, and went to North Carolina, at an early age. He volunteered in the
Revolutionary war, when eighteen years of age, and served four years. He
afterward drew a pension of $220 per year, for his services. He came to
Tennessee in 1830. His wife, whose maiden name was Ann Alexander, was born in
North Carolina, in 1787, and was Jonas Clark's third wife. She and her
husband were members of the Presbyterian Church, and belonged to the Steel
Creek congregation. The father died in 1845, and his wife in 1858. Edwin A.
Clark was reared on a farm, and at the age of fifteen left home and began
clerking for $220 per annum. With the exception of ten months, spent in the
Mexican war, he clerked until 1849, but with increased wages, after the first
year. Some time after the close of the Mexican war, he went to California,
where he remained until 1851. In 1852 he married Martha Childress, of
Springfield, Tenn., daughter of George and Martha (Murdock) Childress. Mrs.
Clark was born in 1835, and is the mother of three children - one daughter
and two sons. Mrs. Clark died in 1869, and in May, 1881, Maj. Clark married
Mary M. Black, of Henderson County, daughter of Thomas N. and Mary Black. She
was born in 1843. Mr. Clark and his brother engaged in the mercantile
business at Cotton Grove, about 1852, and continued the same for six years.
He then spent four years doing business at different points. In 1862 he, as
captain, and S. D. Barnett, as first lieutenant, assisted in the organization
of the Fifty-first Tennessee Regiment, and Mr. Clark was chosen major. He was
captured at Fort Donelson, and was exchanged after the seven days' fight in
and around Richmond. On account of physical disability, he was unable to
engage longer in the service, and returned home and resumed mercantile
business at Spring Creek, in partnership with Herron & Mason, continuing five
years. The following two years were spent in farming, and he then came to
Jackson and began speculating in cotton, which resulted in financial
embarassment. He then clerked for sometime, and held the office of tax
collector during 1874-75, and in 1876 he was defeated by a Republican, for
the sheriff's office, and in 1878 was elected county court clerk, and held
the office eight years. He is at present a candidate for the office of
comptroller of the State. He is a Democrat, and he and Mrs. Clark are members
of the Presbyterian Church.
I've been slowly updating the Childers/ Childress Civil War site. As of
right now, every page has been added to with more information of some kind.
That and a few new pages.

I am searching for the parents of William Nicholas Childers who married
Martha Jane Ferrell 16 Jan. 1841 in Albemarle Co. Va. I have been told that
William was born in either Rockingham or Albemarle Co in 1819. His possible
father is also named William.
By 1850 he and family moved to Lewis Co, now Upshur Co. WV.
He may have had a brother Thomas. Tradition suggests a his home was on the
James River in Va. Have idea if any truth to this or if it fits his family.
Any help would be appreciated. Be very happy to exchange information on his
family.

Please look the above information over and see if you can help me. As you can see, Alford Maloy Childers married Mary Caroline Hulen in 1860 in Lamar County, Texas. Sometime between 1860 and 1866 Mary Caroline Hulen died and Alford Maloy Childers married someone else.
We don't know if Mary and Alford had any children or not, but we are hoping they did, and that their descendants are living today. There are a lot of Childers in Paris and Clarksville Texas that we cannot connect to. Did they come from Mary and Alford, or from one of their cousins, brothers ?
Mary Caroline Hulen had parents and siblings and we think they are:

I have very little information and would love anything someone might have.

I think I have posted this information before, but need to do it again.
If you will click on this link
http://www.gbnf.com/genealogy/childers/html/surnames.htm
it will take you to a site where I have posted three of my family trees on the net.
The three main names are Childers, Besco and Steele. Lots of folks from Iowa, Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma. Once on this site you will find a list of surnames. Just click on the name you want to investigate. Further on down the page you will find the links to the Besco and Steele trees.
Happy hunting, hope to find a lot of new cousins from this post !!
