Re: Patterson "Childers" - I have the Revolutionary War Pension Declaration
(R. 1928) for - PATTERSON CHILDRESS, dated July 7, 1838. Mrs. Nancy
CHILDRESS was the widow when she sought a pension for her deceased husband. He
entered service 1778 in the county of Buckingham (VA) under Capt. Leonard Balew for
three years. Mrs. Childress stated she married Patterson May 12, 1784.
Patterson died 12 Sept. 1831. Mrs. Childress lived in Jefferson County, TN when
she applied. Her daughter, Nancy Hamelton was also living in Jefferson County,
TN. In 1854, Nancy Childress post office was Knox County, TN. The pension
states, Patterson Childress - VA, NC and TN. I assume he lived in all three
places. There is nothing about SC. I do know of a Jesse Childress in SC at one
point. There was also a Jesse Childress who was a very early settler in the
Atlanta (GA) area. He was there before the Civil War. Hope this helped.

I have a Mastin Childers born about 1807 in SC. At some point he came to Georgia, where he married Martha Bradford, probably in Walton Co. or thereabouts, and lived most of his adult life in Oglethorpe Co., GA. Their children include Joseph A., Edward T., Lafayette D. and Elizabeth. So far I haven't been able to connect him to the South Carolina Childers.....would you by any chance have seen a child by this name in your research?

Message Board Post:
I am seeking information about Patterson or Jesse Childers who lived near my GGGG grandparents John Childers and his wife Nancy Duncan Childers in old Pendleton Co SC.Craven's Creek of Saluda River. According to old deeds they were living in this area April 3, 1805 at which time ,Nancy, wife of John Childers released her dower to Benjamin Arnold, J.O.This land bordered Andrew Cochran and James Loggins.
My GGGG John and Nancy his wife were born abt 1774. She was born in NC according to the 1850 census for Lumpkin Co Ga.. He died before 1820.
In 1820, Nancy was living with older son William C. Childers in SC. By 1830, they had migrated to McMinn Co Tn.
As early as the late 1790's and early 1800's the John Childers family was living in Laurens County SC.
Abraham, confirmed brother of John, also lived in the area.
The fact that they were living in Laurens County SC in the late 1790's is based on County and State of birth in documented CSA records, etc of first born sons. They later migrated to Pendleton, the part that became Anderson County SC. .
More than likely, John and Nancy married in Laurens Co SC as their first children were born in Laurens Co. I would like very much to find where these Childers lived before migrating to SC. This will help me to trace their migration pattern. According to documented records, Nancy Duncan Childers was one half Eastern Cherokee, could speak the language and had a brother named John Duncan.
Any information on Patterson and Jesse and any of the other above mentioned Childers would be appreciated.They did switch their surname to Childress on occasion.
Dear List,
My original post referred to an item from Benjamin B. Weisiger,
Henrico County, Virginia, Deeds. 1737-1750 (Richmond, 1985), where on page
34 is found
1 December 1746 Matthias of the County and Parish of Henrico sold to Henry
Sharpe 62 1/2 acres on Four Mile Creek, 50 acres of which had been purchased
from Henry Childers.
On page 74 is found
The sale from Henry Childers to Matthias Ayres appears in the May 1739 court
records.
More details on this purchase are alluded to on the following gedcom
http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2444277&id=I520034023
where the following data supposedly found in the Henrico County Court Order
Book from 1737-1746 are cited:
1) 5-1739; Mathias Ayres deed from Henry Childers
2) 7-16-1743; Mathias Ayres, appointed Proceffiones in 13th Precinct, st.
John's church, Henrico Parish, Robert Pleasant, Pew Price
Four Mile Ck., Bailey's Run, White Oak Swamp
3) 1743; Mathew Ayres, bounds of parish; Col. Richard Randolph's, Robert
Pleasants, Edward Goode, Jr., James Woodfin, Thomas Matthew, Pew Price
John Hobson, Eliza Hobson; Proceffioning the bounds
4) 9-2-1744; Mathias Ayres bounded by Philemon Childers ( wife eliz.) to
Thomas Bates, Robert Pleasants, Four Mile Ck.,
5) 12-1-1746; Mathias Ayres, of co. & parish of Henrico Co. to Henry Sharpe
of same on Four Mile Creek, Mathias purchased from Henry Childers,
other 122 acres by patent 7-25-1726, wife Elizabeth, bounded by
Robert Blaus, Wit. Charles Woodson, Chas. Ballow, James Woodfin;
Related to this is the following land grant from The Library of Virginia
Ayers, Matthias.
25 July 1746.
Location: Henrico County.
Description: 12 1/2 acres begg. &c. on the top of a bank of Four Mile Creek.
Source: Land Office Patents No. 25, 1745-1747, p. 148 (Reel 23).
Tranlation of all this:
Matthias Ayres purchased 50 acres from Henry Childers in May of 1739. On
July 25, 1746 he added to this with a land patent of 12 1/2 acres bringing
his land holdings on Four Mile Creek to 62 1/2 acres, which he sold on Dec
1, 1746 to Henry Sharpe. The 9-2-1744 data is unclear since its wording
makes it look like there was a land transaction to Thomas Bates. This may
have been from someone who was omitted in the cite since there is no data to
suggest that Matthais owned any additional land. What does seem clear is
that Matthias Ayres was bounded by Philemon Childers, so that it appears
that the land he purchased from Henry Childers was bounded by the land owned
by Philemon Childers.
Now the following was found on The Childers ~ Childress Family Association
web site.
Areas of Land Ownership, CHILDERS, Early Virginia
Prepared by Virginia Hanks , Ellenburg, Washington
Four Mile Creek: (southeast of Richmond)
1680 - Abraham (thought to have married Ann or Jane Howard) to son Abraham
(married Ann Pew)
1690 - adjacent Philemen Childers of Four Mile Creek
1707 - Thomas Childrey from Pleasants, easternmost branch of Four Mile Creek
1727 - John to Abraham, land given by Henry Pew
1729 - Abraham and wife Mary
1730 - Philemon and wife Elizabeth
1731 - Abraham & wife Hester, land on Four Mile Creek, on Spring Branch and
Miery Branch
1745 - adjacent Benjamin, eastern run of Four Mile Creek to Great Branch-
Philemen, cordwainer, sold to Thomas Bates, Elizabeth relinquished dower
I'm not sure whether this explains or confuses the issue. It appears that
the reference to Philemon Childers cited may have been to his sale to Thomas
Bates, which likely means that the reference actually was
9-2-1744; Philemon Childers ( wife eliz.) bounded by Mathias Ayres to
Thomas Bates, Robert Pleasants, Four Mile Ck.,
This still leaves Henry and Philemon adjacent, but the Hanks data throws in
a Benjamin as well.
Moreover Hanks does not mention Henry.
There must be more to this. Can someone explain who this Henry was?

Henry Childers was the son of Abraham Childers who was the father of
Phillemon Childers as well as Henry and several other children. Their
mother was Ann Pew or Pugh.
Henry Childers(Born 1714 Died 1761)was the son of Henry Childers and Lucretia Jones. Father of Anne, Martha, Millicent, Lucretia, Thomas, and Henry (born after 1750). They lived in Henrico County and later removed to Cornwall Parish, Lunenburg Co, Virginia. I have considerably more on this family--they naturally interest me as we are connected in two totally separate lines. I see no record of any marriages or other connections between the Ayers or the Weisiger families but that does not mean one does not exist as I have only done the direct lines.
I have several records of marriages between Ayres and Childress. Moses Ayres, Jr. (1774 to 1841), born in Halifax, VA died in Choctaw County, MS is my 4th great grandfather. You can read about him on my family tree at:

Hi,
I just joined this list and am interested in finding out information
concerning Ayres (or Ayers) relationships with Childers or Childress. I
have seen claims that there were marriages between the families but have not
been able to verify them. There is one record in particular on which I'm
trying to find out more information. In Benjamin B. Weisiger, Henrico
County, Virginia, Deeds. 1737-1750 (Richmond, 1985) on page 34 is the
following:
1 Dec 1746 Matthias Ayres of the County and Parish of Henrico sold to Henry
Sharpe 62 1/2 acres on Four Mile Creek. 50 acres of which had been
purchased from Henry Childers; which apparently refers to the sale from
Henry Childers to Matthias Ayres in the May Court for 1739 found on page 74.
Can anyone help me out with this? Who is this Henry Childers? Where is Four
Mile Creek?
Thanks

Are the following 2 families the SAME family?
Family 1
Thomas B CHILDERS (1766 - 3 Jan 1853) and his wife Elizabeth UNKNOWN (?-before 1860 Census)
Children;
1. Sarah M. Childers (1798 - ?) MAY HAVE married Hezekiah Adkins?
2. Royal Childers (abt 1805 - ?) married Nancy MIDKIFF
3. Thomas Albertis Childers (abt 1819 - ?) married Miriam BIAS (daughter of Dicey Brumfield & Roland Bias3, Obediah Bias2, James Byass1)
Family 2
Thomas CHILDERS and his wife Elizabeth UNKNOWN
Child;
1. Jennetta or Janetta Childers (abt 1807 - ?) married David Bias (son of Nancy Jenkins & Roland Bias2, James Byass1
As the children of each couple have the same birth periods and their parents names are SO similar, I wonder if the 2 Thomas Childers & Elizabeth Unknown are one and the same couple ????
Thanks for any light you can shed on this question.
