Taking photo's
Photo Hints
Make sure you are not taking photos into the sun. Taking the photographs on a
cloudy or overcast day is better than bright sunshine - usually.
Spraying water - and water only - on the inscription may help to define it
and make it easier to read. Do this ONLY if the inscription is very difficult
to read.
Do not damage any flowers planted in front of the headstone epitaph. If it is
possible to move flowers or foliage away from the front of the headstone
without doing damage to them, then do so if needed.
Be sure to crouch down to the level of the headstone and move in close to
fill the viewfinder frame with the image of the headstone. We are not
interested in anything else but the headstone.
When you have taken all the headstone shots in a particular cemetery, please
also take one shot of the cemetery showing the setting of the graves.
Digital Photos
Shoot at the highest resolution allowed by your camera.
Once you have finished the photography, send the photos in a JPEG format
Please be sure to label each disc with the contents. Include the name of the
cemetery, the location and state.
Note: It is not a good idea to use chalk or shaving cream to highlight
carvings on headstones. The chemicals in those substances may actually be
corrosive to porous stones. Also, removing chalk dust and shaving cream may
require vigorous scrubbing, which may damage the stone.

X-Envelope-To: CHILDRESS-RESEARCH-L-request
A. Evaluate the general condition of the burial monument. Do not attempt to
clean the monument if it exhibits any cracks, flaking and scaling, or eroding
granular surfaces. Carefully sound (gently tap surface with finger) stone to
determine if there are any underlying hollow areas. If hollow areas are
detected, do not continue with cleaning or handling.
B. Determine the type of soiling to remove it in the most effective manner.
Types of soiling could be:
Carbonaceous or sooty soiling
Urban grime; dirt
Organic--algae, fungi, lichens, mosses
Stains--metallic, oils, etc.
Efflorescence (salts)
C. Initiate cleaning process with the least aggressive method--gentle, clean
water rinsing. If washing with water alone is not sufficient, carefully
proceed with the use of a selected material to facilitate cleaning. Select
the gentlest possible method that will achieve a desirable or acceptable
level of cleanliness.
D. Always test selected cleaning method(s) before general application. Test
entire cleaning procedure in a small inconspicuous area on the monument.
E. Pre-wet monument with water before the application of any chemical
cleaning solutions. Pre-wetting prevents excessive penetration of cleaning
solutions and soiling into the stone, and facilitates softening of soiling.
F. Clean from the bottom to the top of the monument to avoid streak staining
on the stone. Periodically rinse runoff.
G. Always rinse thoroughly with water. Residues from chemical cleaning
solutions can create a blotchy appearance, provide mediums for bacterial
action, and cause staining. Do not allow cleaning solutions to dry on a
monument.
H. Do not assume that a cleaning procedure that is effective in one specific
case is therefore applicable for all cleaning situations.
I. Consult with a conservation
II. Review and Evaluation of Selected Brand Name Materials for Cleaning
Gravestones
A. Soaps and detergents
1. Soaps (e.g., "Ivory"): commercial household detergents (liquids and
powders) are not recommended for cleaning masonry. They are rendered
insoluble by calcium ions present in stone and hard water. They may also
produce free alkali and fatty acid salts.
2. Non-ionic Detergents (e.g., Photo Flo - a Kodak product): Non-ionic
detergents are recommended for cleaning gravestones. They are electrically
neutral cleaning agents that do not contain or contribute to the formation of
soluble salts. They provide better wetting of the masonry surface and,
therefore, successfully facilitate the removal of general soiling. Non-ionic
detergents are available from conservation, janitorial, and photographic
suppliers. A suggested cleaning solution is one ounce non-ionic detergent to
5 gallons water.
B. Acidic Cleaning Materials
1. Hydrochloric or Muriatic Acid, Phosphoric Acid (e.g. "Lime Away," "Naval
Jelly"), oxalic acid are not recommended for general cleaning of gravestones.
The use of hydrochloric or muriatic acid may result in ferrous chloride
(rust) staining and the deposition of soluble salts. Muriatic acid, which is
readily available in hardware stores, is a raw acid. It is a by-product of
processing steel and contains metallic particles that can cause ferrous
staining.
C. Alkaline, Corrosive, and Biocidal Cleaning Materials
1. Sodium Hydroxide (e.g., "Borax"), Sodium Hypochlorite (e.g., "Clorox"
"liquid chlorine") is not recommended for general cleaning of stone.
2. Calcium Hypochlorite (e.g., Chlorine, "HTH," "Shock Treatment"): Calcium
hypochlorite or chlorine is effective for the removal of biological growth.
It is a granular product that is not to be confused with "liquid chlorine" or
sodium hypochlorite. Calcium hypochlorite is available from swimming pool
suppliers. A suggested cleaning solution is one ounce calcium hypochlorite to
one gallon hot water. This product should be used only when a waterhose with
a good water pressure (e.g., 55 psi) is available.
3. Ammonium Hydroxide (e.g., household ammonia): Solutions of household
ammonia are recommended for cleaning light colored stones. Ammonia is
particularly effective for the removal of biological growth. One cup ammonia
to one gallon water.
4. Quatemary Ammoniums (e.g., algaecides or biocides for swimming pools):
Quaternary Ammoniums have a slightly different chemical structure than
ammonium hydroxide. They are especially effective for the removal of
biological growth, particularly stubborn black algae. Quaternary ammoniums
are available from swimming pool suppliers and list ingredients such as
alkylbenzyl trimethyl ammonium, benzyl alkyl dimethyl ammonium chlorides, or
benzyl aklyl dimethyl ammonium bromides.
5. Trisodium Phosphate (e.g., "TSP, "Calgon"): Trisodium phosphate is not
recommended for cleaning monuments. It can cause the formation and deposition
of soluble salts. "Calgon" contains trisodium phosphate and a number of
additives that may be detrimental to monuments.
6. "Fantastic" All Purpose Cleaner, "Formula 409," "Spic and Span" and
abrasive cleansers: These are not recommended for cleaning monuments. Avoid
products containing sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, sodium
bicarbonate, and ammonium carbonate, due to their ability to form and deposit
soluble salts in monuments.
III. MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS OR TOOLS
A. The following items are recommended for use in cleaning procedures for
masonry: soft natural bristle (e.g., tampico) brushes, nylon brushes, tooth
brushes, Q-tips, sponges (especially natural sponges). Wood and some plastic
spatulas are also recommended.
B. Do not use metal brushes or scrapers, or abrasive pads (e.g., "Brillo,"
"Scotchbrite") to clean monuments.
IV. SOME FINAL REMINDERS ABOUT BRAND NAME CLEANING MATERIALS
A. Do not rely solely upon product labels or advertising. Brand name
materials that are readily available from hardware and grocery stores are
generally intended for household use. Information is not provided for
specialized applications outside of the home or workshop.
B. The use of improper cleaning materials and practices can cause serious
and irreparable damage to gravestones.
III. MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS OR TOOLS
A. The following items are recommended for use in cleaning procedures for
masonry: soft natural bristle (e.g., tampico) brushes, nylon brushes, tooth
brushes, Q-tips, sponges (especially natural sponges). Wood and some plastic
spatulas are also recommended.B. Do not use metal brushes or scrapers, or
abrasive pads (e.g., "Brillo," "Scotchbrite") to clean monuments.

Goodspeed's Bios. of Lauderdale Co., TN
Stephen H. Bibb, a prominent farmer residing in the northern
part of
Lauderdale County, was born in Rockingham County, N.C., July
30, 1833, and was the tenth child of eleven children, nine of
whom lived to be grown, born to Richard C. and Margary
(Hooper) Bibb. Both parents were born in North Carolina, and
came to Tipton County, Tenn., in 1840. The father was a
carpenter, but gave his time to farming; he died on Knob Creek
in Lauderdale county, in 1861, and the mother died at the home
stead on Knob Creek, in 1862. Our subject was raised and
educated on a farm, and has made farming his business. In 1862
he enlisted in the Confederate Army, with Gen. Chalmer's
brigade of cavalry, but after serving eighteen months was
discharged on account of ill-health. Jan 31, 1856, he was
married in this county to Miss Martha E. Forbest, and to this
union were born Mary A., September 7, 1857; William R., born
May 12, 1861, and Stephen R., born October 15, 1862. The
latter married Miss Martha C. Childress, daughter of J.F.
Childress, and to them were born four children at two births.
Mrs. Bibb was born near Bloomfield, Ill., and died December
26, 1865, and our subject was married the second time in
Lauderdale County, February 10, 1867, to Mrs. Nancy W. Edney.
She had one son by her former marriage -- John G. Edney, born
June 8, 1862. Mrs. Bibb was a native of this county, born June
16, 1842, a daughter of Squire Thomas J. Childress, a very
prominent farmer of his locality. Our subject is a Democrat,
casting his first presidential vote for James Buchanan; he is
a Mason, and with his wife belongs to the Methodist Church
South. Mr. Bibb has a good farm ten miles north of Ripley. He
is a quiet, industrious farmer, holding the respect of the
community in which he lives.

of the proceeds from the sale of the land to the insolven#
i---- estate for purposes of paying certain debts owed to

Tennessee by the Estate of Maxie Raymond Childress, Jr.
contesting the order of that court dismissing appellants
petition to set aside an alleged fraudulent conveyance of
real estate by the deceased intestate and to require payment
of the proceeds from the sale of the land to the insolvent
estate for purposes of paying certain debts owed to
creditors of the deceased and any remainder to be paid over,
pro rata, to the seven heirs of the intestate. The sole issue
is whether the prior conveyance of real property by the
deceased intestate to one of his daughters who is an heir was
a fraud upon the creditors of the deceased.

COMMENTS -
I've been corresponding with some family researchers regarding various
branches of the Childress family. Some of these Childress families are very
well known, as their descendands were prominent in local history. Whether it
was thru local county histories or newly formed county history. One would be
George Campbell Childress whose fame is well known within this branch of the
family. He being the man who wrote the Texas Declaration of Independence.
From whence did George Campbell Childress descend, what was his Childress
ancestry here in America?
George Campbell Childress by all accounts was the son of Judge John Childress
of Nashville, Davidson Co, TN whose mother was the niece (Elizabeth) of the
founder of Nashville, named General James Robertson. But what of George's
grandfather? According to legal documents with sources, George's grandfather
was John Childress Sr whose 1811 Will is on record in Nashville TN. John
Childress Sr married firstly, Elizabeth Armstrong of Scottish ancestry, her
father was William Armstrong of NC, he having named John Childress in his
will. Secondly John Sr married Nancy Ann Hickman of whose family were in the
NC records and also those of Nashville TN and in both places well established.
John Childress Sr having come from Chesterfield Co VA, the homeplace of his
father who was Henry Childers/ress and Mary Farmer Childers/ress. Henry
Childers/res will is on record in the county (Lunenburg Co, later Charlotte
Co) in 1760/61 - Henry and Mary having a large family, many of them very well
known in where they settled.
Discussion and debate has taken place with regards to Henry, father of John
Childress Sr of Nashville. I've corresponded with direct descendants of John
Childress Sr thru his son John Childress Jr. They thru their research along
with legal copies of original documents know their ancestor was Henry
Childers/ress Jr of Chesterfield, Lunenburg/Charlotte Co's in VA. Henry
Childers/ress Jr. produced many children whose descendants migrated to NC and
to TN as some of it's earliest settlers.
By all account thru original legal documents belonging to descendants and in
public records, George Campbell Childress, writer of the Texas Declaration of
Independence was a descendant of - his father, Judge John Childress, his
father John Childress Sr and were descendants of Henry "Childers" Sr. whose
WILL Probate is on record dated *"1727" Henrico CO, VA, "Henrico CO., Deeds
and Wills, 1725-1737, pp 131-32" - Naming wife, Lucretia, Sons: Thomas and
**HENRY, along with daughters named Lucretia, Anne, Martha Jones and
Millicent - Original copy from, "Childers-Childress Family Association, Inc,
Early VA Wills and Some Land Records". **Henry, son of Henry was father of
John Childress Sr of Nashville, grandfather of George Campbell Childress.
So, if the ancestor of George Campbell Childress and his siblings and
grandfather were "Childress" and it was by proof of the original documents,
then how could his great grandfather have been Henry "Childers" Jr, son of
Henry "Childers" Sr as the records show? Reseachers within the Childress
family know of "clerk, census takers, etc errors regarding our surname. But
to add to this question, we also have Henry "Childers" Jr's date of "1727"
will in Henrico Co VA - Notice the date of the WILL, "1727" - This strongly
suggest that this Henry "Childers" was in America way before 1727. If the
Henry Sr is one in the same, then he was the "Henry" so named in the original
copy of the 1693 Henrico Co, VA WILL, probated 1698, "Henrico Co Records,
Deeds, Wills, 1697-1704, pp 78-79" and the father of this Henry is Abraham
"Childers" [per will] who named his wife ANN, sons - Abraham, HENRY,
Phillimon, John and Robert. Was Abraham who left the 1698 Henrico Co WILL,
whose son was Henry, whose son was also Henry and father of John Childress Sr
of Nashville a CHILDERS or CHILDRESS? And what of the date of the John
Childress Sr's ancestor, 1698 - Obviously the proof is in the legal
documents, John in Nashville was a "Childress" or was his ancestor's name in
error to begin with? Was it originally Childers of Childress?
The Childress family of Nashville TN had many intermarriages with various
surnames in VA, NC and TN and those who also migrated to SC, GA and AL - Some
of those also married into the Joel Childress (1777-1819) family from which
Sarah Childress Polk descends. She being noted as the "aunt" in funeral
notices and other book records and closely associated with those who are of
John Childress Sr's family who was the son of Henry and Mary Farmer
"Childers/ress" of Chesterfield, Luneburg/Charlotte Co's in VA - Was Sarah
Childress Polk's father, Joel a relative of John Childress Sr's family? Why
was this constantly mentioned in various notices and etc? If so, then would
Sarah's father Joel have the same Childress ancestry?
According to the nephew's (of Sarah's) and also Oscar Childress - Joel was
the son of John son of Joel. There are three different versions of who they
were according to various (nephew's) letters in the TN Archives. These same
nephew's of Sarah's lay claim to a tombstone in which Joel's ancestor left
Wales on his own ship bound for America in "1745". According to where the
tombstone is today, only half of it survived. So we can't actually see it
for ourselves. But what we have is a "tradition" that it existed and also
the "tradition" that Joel himself was of "Scottish" ancestry. Some have said
that the Childress name is of Scottish origin. Seen in the family records of
the Joel Childress family are marriages with Scottish or Scot/Irish or if you
prefer, Scotch/Irish surnames. Some of those were Whitsett, Thompson, Lyon
and those of the Polks who were of Scottish ancestry and their ancestors,
Alexanders and Biggers, all Scottish or Scot/Irish. Then we have the Welsh
ancestry of Sarah's brother's (John Whitsett Childress) wive's, those being
Williams and Philips, both being of Welsh ancestry whose intermarriages were
with other Scottish families.
Logically speaking, it would seem that Sarah Childress Polk's immediate
family were of Scottish ancestry. Her nephew's families were of Welsh, Irish
and Scottish. I can only imagine the confusion within these nephew's
recollections in trying to recall who connected to whom and what the various
traditions were regarding them. The William Wiliams (one L) and Philips (one
L) were of Welsh ancestry, there are many family stories within these
branches. I've read about them as my own maternal ancestry were intermarried
with them. There roots lay in Wales and they married into well known
Scottish families in Nashville TN - Maclins, Gilcrests, Cockrells - two of
those were Scottish in origin while the Cockrells (variants) were an old
established family our of VA. One thing is certain to me, we all know about
family traditions, we have them. Once they are used as a basis for our
research, then we are caught up in what they said, being Scottish (maternal)
myself, I can certainly relate!
While the arrival date of "1745" for the Childress may be true for some
branches might be true, I would have to look at early VA records and see
where the legal documents led me. As with the case with John Childress Sr of
Nashville whose ancestry is of the Abraham "Childers" who was in Henrico Co
VA way before the "1745" tradition of Sarah's nephews. Also of note would be
the Abraham Childres who was shown as a series for the VA Genealogist
articles, "Abraham Childers lll", and of whom produced children thru
Elizabeth Woodson and married second Lucy Thomas, widow of Capt Jame Neville
- Abraham lll as he is referred to in the articles was shown to be "Childres"
and his widow's records were "Childrefs". So what gives here? These are
just two of many whose ancestry was to have been "Childers" and whose
descendants were "Childrefs" - As I did with the above documents proving that
these two branches were "Childrefs" - I would also have to have proof for an
1745 arrival for all the families in America who bear the surname "Childress"
-
If any of you would like to comment, please do. This is a subject of
importance to our Childress family, howver, we can only rely on what proof we
can actually see for ourselves. While family tradition will mostly have a
kernal of truth and are sentimental in value, we also realize we need
additional documents for proof. The families of John Childress Sr and also
Abraham Childers/res have that proof.

Hi List,
Hi CIndy,
Because we were discussing the area of Halifax and Childres, Childress or
Childrey Creek and some of those who might have been the namesake - This
message was posted by Kay on our list (archives) see below address -
Note the BENJAMIN "Childrey" - Two land grants - Two in Halifax, two
different descriptions - 790 acres on both side of Bearskin Creek and other
330 acres on Difficult Creek.
Also regarding Jeremiah Childress who is shown in the land grants for VA as
"Childers", their is reference to seeing "Childres" - and whose great
grandson, William signed his name for his War of 1812 Bounty Land form as
"William Childress" - See my prior messages regarding land grants of this
past week.
