**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, ALL surnames are welcome to attend whether
your name is listed here or not! There will be a wealth of information to
share. Plan on attending please! We Do Need A Head Count though as to NOT
overbook the Park. (Numbers of persons coming that is what needed). We would
love to have volunteers for some of the surnames on the list to act as
co-hosts/co-hostesses to greet and help people with their surname, to be
made to feel welcome and to help them meet researchers working on the same
surnames. 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!"**
We know that we have some college instructors attending who perhaps can be
persuaded to speak about history/genealogy. We also have experts and
accredited
genealogist who have been researching for 30 plus years. They are ready to
share their information with us.
----------------------
Attendance is FREE . . . but we will have a "donation" jar to offset the
cost for using the campground, tableware, entertainment, and clean up.
----------------------
PLEASE PLAN ON ATTENDING AND BRING:
1. First and foremost yourselves...
2. ALL BOOKS, BIBLES, PICTURES, FAMILY SHEETS, AND
INFORMATION YOU HAVE AVAILABLE...
3. A covered dish to share. (For those who are traveling
some distance and for whom this is not a feasible
option, you may either bring a sack lunch or a non-
perishable or deli item that can be picked up at last
minute locally.
4. Drinks, ice chest
5. A chair or blanket to sit on...If you are serving as
a host or hostess, you will also need a small table
(card table size or larger) to display your family
information on.
--------------------------
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!!

and co-hosted by many more friends and cousins, both locally and via
internet -- too numerous to name individually, but all of whom we
thank for all their help.
////
PLEASE REPLY BRIEFLY TO ONE OF ABOVE ADDRESSES IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND SO WE
CAN KEEP A HEADCOUNT. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT SO THAT WE CAN BE PREPARED FOR
THE CORRECT NUMBER AND TO TRY TO ASSIST YOU IN FINDING ACCOMMODATIONS. Thank
you.////

> Subject: [CHILDERS] Civil War pension cards
>
Dear Jack,
I am interested in the Childress/Childers family who was from North
Carolina, but living in Oregon County, Missouri at the time of the Civil War.
They may have signed on in Arkansas as their land was but a 2 mile walk
across the state line.
Their names:
James / Jim Childress/Childers (the father) md to Nancy
and sons:
Benjamin Marion "Ben" Childress/ Childers md to Susan Perry
Joel Childress/ Childers md to Lucy Perry
Milas Foy Childress/ Childers md to Catherine Whiteside and then Margaret
Simmers
Franklin Childress/ Childers md to Arcena Jane Howell
A portion of their land is mentioned in the memoirs of J. J. Sutton, as
having been donated for the temporary use of the Confederacy for training of
soldiers. It was referred to as Camp Jackson
I have not been able to find any records, so any information that you
might be able to send would be greatly appreciated.
Christy S.
I have image files of pension cards from many union civil war Childress/
Childers. There are just too, many to post on line at this time. They contain
info of when a pension was applied for, apx. death date (if widow or
dependant applied for a pension anyhow) and the state he was living in when
he applied for the pension. Also widows, application for pension. Also I
have extensive pension papers for many Virginia civil war veterans. I'll sent
these to any one who wants them. Just one thing I have to have the mans
name, state he served, and regiment. Please don't ask for a entire state or
all of them there is just too much for me to sent (and I'd feel bad if I
couldn't help you out)
