Steve,
PS -
Regarding Dilliard, seems the names familiar to me, I think I've seen it
associated with Childress, other than yours. I also work with several Childress
cousins, so, let me look thru all these faxes:), if I see anything earth
shattering, I'll be sure to leave you a message! I would like to know where and how
far back do you have your wife's Ezells?
MaryJean
Hi Steve,
Ref - Childers/Childress and Ezell families -
Wow, I didn't know your wife was an Ezell, goodness! I'm not only a direct
Ezell descendant, of which I'll be glad to share with you, but also as you
know, a born Childress:) It was thru my Childress ancestry that I am a Ezell
descendant. The Vaughn's, Childress'es, Webbs and Ezells are all intermarried. I
am also a direct Webb descendant. My particuliar Webb ancestry connects to
Childress. One thru Mitchell Childress (born 1750) who married Hannah Webb
first, about 1769 VA.
I have various (printed) book records which show at least 4 Childress - Ezell
marriages (several are in TN), one is mine, (original document) Thomas
Childress (my gr gr grandfather) married Zelphia Ezell in Caldwell County, KY 1842,
this was after Thomas and my Childress branch (William and Nancy Wilkerson
Childress) migrated from Mecklenburg County, VA to Caldwell CO, KY. Early on,
the Ezells were related to Webb, Vaughn and Childress not only in Charlotte
County, but several or more counties in VA - SC - TN and KY.
My Ezell family came from France, settled in VA very early, pre ARW. Tell me
about your wife's, I would be very interested to know. Also, if you have
questions, please ask, I'll be glad to help if I can. I also am in contact with
two relatives whose genealogical work is very well respected, they have shared
their (original) research with me.
MaryJean
Helo list members, Kay and Mary Jean
The John Childress that I am interested in was the son of John Sr. and
Obedean and was married to Obedience. Both John and John Sr. lived in the
Pendleton district of th 96 th. District. My ggggrandfather Robert
Childress Sr. purchased 338 acres of land from on Beaver Dam Creek and the
South Tygra River and participated in various other land transactions with
John Jr. between 1789 and 1799 when he died. I feel that there could be a
connection between Robert and John.

# Mitchell CHILDRESS Birth: 23 OCT 1750 in Henrico Co,VA Death: 5 OCT 1844
in Knox Co,Tn
His will was filed in Knox County, Tennessee in the September Session of
1844.
He is listed as Age 83 in 1832 pensioners list. Served in North Carolina
line.
1835 pension list of Tennessee gives: Mitchel Childress, Knox County,
Private, North Carolina Line, $23.33 annual
allowance, $69.99 amount received, pension started May 3, 1833, age 83.
Rev. War Pension statement of Mitchel Childres.
The Childresses seemed to have lived along rivers and in a number of
instances appear to have operated ferries.
Living along a river appears to be the case with Mitchell when he moved to
Georgia. Later in Oglethorpe GA, the ferry
was operated by the Webb family. this Webb family may have traveled to GA
in part because of Mitchel's marriage to
Hannah Webb, and the close ties between the two families, or Mitchel's tales
and knowledge of the area. Mitchel
appears to have left GA circa the period of the ongoing American Revolution
in part to avoid Indians. Mitchel's foray
into Georgia opened the door for another younger Childresses to move into
GA.By 1790, the Indians were of a lesser
threat in Eastern TN than in GA, though just barely. Ironically, a major
Indian uprising in TN was barely averted
that could have wiped out Knoxville, in the vicinity of Mitchel. Mitchel
mentions being in Greene County, TN then
Knox County, TN. Knox County was created out of Greene County not apparent
if there was an actual move by Mitchel
or just a name change in his location.
Revolutionary War
Pension Statement of Mitchel Childress Pension # S2426 May 27, 1834 State of
Tennessee, Knox County Court January
Session 1833
On the 10th day of January, 1833 personally appeared in open court at a
court of pleas and quarter sessions for said
county now sitting, Mitchel Childress, a citizen of said county, aged 82
years who having been duly sworn according
to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain
the benefit of the provisions of an act of
Congress passed June 1st 1832-that he was born in Henrico County VA on the
23rd day of October,1750, where he lived
but a few years until he moved to Amherst County, VA,where he lived several
years, and married there, and then moved
to Wilkes County, North Carolina where he lived about one year and then
moved to Georgia . Here recollects that he
reached Georgia sometime in May an he does not now recollect whether there
were any counties then laid out in that
part of Georgia but his impression now is that he went to what was then
called the Pa?c??de of Georgia. He remained
in Georgia until Sometime in the latter part of November following, when
having taken the fever and ague, he moved up
on the waters of Burke County, North Carolina for the object of recovering
his health, where he lived until sometime
in May or June when being alarmed at the outrages of the Indians he moved
back into the same neighborhood in Wilkes
County North Carolina where he had formerly lived. He states that he cannot
at this time recollect what year it was
he moved from Georgia, but he recollects distinctly that a few days after he
had left Georgia, the news reached him
that the Whigs and Tories had had a battle at a place then called the Snow
Camps, afterwards 96, and that the Whigs
were victorious. He continued after this second settlement in Wilkes County
to live there during the whole of the
Revolutionary War. Applicant states that very shortly after his second
settlement in Wilkes County, he entered the
Army of the United States as a volunteer for a tour against the Indians. He
was enrolled in Burke County North
Carolina into a company commanded by Captain Frank Hargraves, which company
was attached to a battalion under the
command of Major Jesse Walton, and he now thinks his regiment was commanded
by Col. Armstrong and the whole army by
General Rutherford as commander in chief. He also believes that his
lieutenant was William Lenoir. Applicant states
that the whole army consisting of about five thousand rendezvoused at Buck
Creek in Burke County North Carolina. And
after remaining there a few weeks to get supplies marched over the mountain
to the head waters of French Broad(?)
river, crossed it, Little and Big Pigeon rivers, Little Sevier(?), Little
Tennessee River, and the High Wassee River.
Applicant states that the main army lay at the middle towns in the Cherokee
nation while he with a detachment of
fifteen hundred men reconnoitered up the Kiwassee River, he thinks under
Col. Locke or Knox for the purpose of
destroying the Overhill towns of the Cherokees. The detachment marched up
the Kiwasseebut before they reached the
place where the Indians had embodied, they met apart of the southern army,
who had been in pursuit of the same object
and had scattered and defeated the Indians upon which our detachment marched
back to the main army. After they had
marched about through the nation and destroyed the crops of the Indians and
burned their town and killed those that
could be found the main army marched back along the same general route to
Burke County North Carolina. The army was
disbanded and applicant returned home. Applicant thinks he got home in the
latter part of November and thinks, as
well as he now recollects, that he was in actual service in this campaign at
least three months. Applicant states
that sometime as well as he now recollects in the month of August (he does
not know whether the August immediately
succeeding this first campaign or not) he volunteered to take another tour
against the Indians. He joined and
enrolled himself at the same place in Burke County North Carolina into a
company of horse commanded by Captain George
Foster who was under the command of Colonel Benjamin Harrington. Under the
command of the said officers applicant
marched across the mountains to the waters of French Broad (?) which they
crossed, and crossing Little and Big Pigeon
Rivers, Little Sevier, and Little Tennessee, they marched about through the
Cherokee nation, killed a few of the
Indians, burned their towns, cut down their corn and returned by the same
route, and were discharged. Applicant
thinks he was in service in this campaign between two and three months.
Applicant states that sometime in the month
of June, 1781 as well as he now recollects, he recollects well that he was
plowing his corn at the time, the militia
of Wilkes County were ordered out to suppress the Tories, he was one of the
class who were ordered out and was
enrolled as a private into a company commanded by Captain James Henderson,
who was attached to regiment under the
command of Col. Benjamin Cleveland. Under these officers applicant marched
with his regiment to Ramsours Mill in what
is now Lincoln County North Carolina where it wa s understood that the
Tories had embodied in considerable force.
Before applicant and his regiment however could reach Ramsours Mill the
Whigs and Tories had met there and the Tories
were driven off. Applicant well recollects when he reached the battleground
the Whigs were engaged in the burying the
slain. The night after they reached Ramsours there came an express to Col.
Cleveland informing him that the Tories
under Col. Fannan (?) were collecting near Salisb ury. Col. Cleveland
ordered his men to march there with all haste.
Applicant states that he marched with his company in that direction until
his horse was so overcome that he could go
no further, and his Captain gave him leave to go home. Applicant thinks that
that he was out in actual service at
least one month in this campaign. Applicant states that sometime in the
month of March or April following the last
campaign, the militia of Wilkes County were all ordered out, and applicant
was enrolled into a company commanded by
Captain John Cleveland, who was under the command of his father Col.
Benjamin Cleveland. Under these officers
applicant marched down to Cross Creek or Salisbury, where it was said the
Tories under Col. Fannan were collecting.
Applicant states his regiment marched to the Swan Ponds on the Yaidkin (?)
River, and were stationed at Major Lewis
eleven days,when Col. Cleveland discharged one half of his regiment
applicant amongt he rest when he returned home.
Applicant thinks he was in service in this campaign at least one month.
Applicant states that from his age and the
long time that has elapsed since his services have been performed he cannot
recollect distinctly the time he was in
service, but he feels confident that he must have been in actual service at
least seven months as a Private, for
which he claims a pension. Applicant states he has no record of his age, but
from the information of fhis mother he
believes he has stated his age truly. He states that he lived in Wilkes
County North Carolina during the whole of his
services in the Revolutionary War and for several years after the War, when
he move to Greene County, Tennessee where
he lived about one year when he moved to Knox County, Tennessee where he now
lives and has lived for forty years. He
states that the persons with whom he is acquainted in his neighborhood who
can testify as to his veracity and the
reputation of his military services are Joshua Frost, Mordicai Yarnell,
Elijah Hickey, James Scott, William Morris.
He states that he never received a discharge, to the best of his
recollection, for any of his services, nor has he
any documentary evidence wha tever of his services, nor does he know of Any
person whose testimony he can procure who
ca n testify to his services. He hereby relinquishes all claims to an
annuity or pension except the present and
declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any
state. Sworn to and subscribed in open court

Hi Kay,
Thank you for posting this message (Mrs. William Childress Jr.). This is a
Childress relative and connected to Dorothy on our list. If any of you are
interested in this particuliar family, please check the Childress Research-List
archives. I posted a message regarding the Childress Family Bible belonging to
Mrs. Childress's family. (William Childress Sr and wife Nancy Wilkerson
Childress) were the in-laws of Mrs. William Childress Jr in this message. William
Childress Sr and Nancy were my 3rd great grandparents. Thank you Kay!

Hi Bill,
There's quite alot of land records in SC and I'm sure you've researched
those. But, my question would be your interest in the land deed from 1810 in your
earlier message. If a John Childress was involved with that land deed with
Garett Hendrix, then so was Mitchell Childress according to the two webpages I
listed for you in the earlier message. Do you believe your John was connected
to either or both of them?
I believe the SC branch came out of early VA, into NC and to SC. We know
from the ARW pensions for Childress, they migrated all over the place! From VA
to NC, SC and TN. TN was part of NC until about 1796 tho, so, if they were in
that part of NC, such as Washington County, then they lived in NC originally.
Another researcher explained the problem with looking for those in TN
records, when they were actually in NC. Let us know what you feel the 1810 deed
connection might be with a John and Mitchell Childress mentioned.
Thanks!
MaryJean
I am very much interested in this Childers/Childress-Ezell relationship. My
wife is a descendent of the Ezells and I a Childress. We may be distant
cousins and not even be from West "By God" Virginia. My direct Childress
was David Dillard Childress of Augusta County. Through my wife's line, her
grandmother Elizabeth Lorraine Ezell married of Graham, NC married James
Floyd Dillard and I have always wondered about my great grandad's middle
name, DILLARD and where it came from.
Regards,
Steve Stevens

Hi List,
Bill, you were asking about a John Childress and the land involved the
Hendrix family (Morgan Hendrix) about 1810. According to the most
Hendrix'es,
Garrett Hendrix was the father of Rachel who married Mitchell Childress. The
above
is from the Hendricks-List archives. If your interested in the Hendrix
family, the message above was written by Vern Hendrix and is very
interesting. He
gives the origin of the family too.
As you probably know, Mitchell Childress married Hannah Webb about 1769c.
Hannah was the daughter of John Webb and descendant of Ursula Webb. Even
tho I
am not descended from the Childress branch of Webb-Childress, Ursula Webb is
my relative as was Hannah and John Webb, her father. I'm a direct Webb
descendant (Maternal). There were lots of connections between Webb, Vaughn,
Childress and Hendrix. In SC, the Webbs, Ezells, Vaughan/Vaughn's lived
side by side
and were all intermarried. In Cumberland County, VA, I think I saw records
involving Hendrix and the one known as Philemon Childress. Kay, perhaps you
can
recall that connection?
See - http://www.roanetn.com/hendrix.htm
Also - http://www.roanetn.com//
The above webpages have the info you asked about - but not only is John
Childress mentioned, but Mitchell Childress too. I think a descendant did a
summation on them both. I think she said it was determined that Mitchell,
born
1750, ARW soldier and John (both lived in TN) who was also a ARW were not
brothers. If someone can give a documented list of Mitchell's children or I
can look
up the TN census for about that time, then maybe we can see if those two
were
in the same place in TN. I think they were anyway, I'll check that for you
Bill, unless Kay has more to add. Any of you have anything to help out
Bill?
Hope this helped!

> Childeric I - 450-481.
> Pharamond thought to be the ancestor of Frankish kings, sired Clodion
> who begat Merovius the general officer who helped repel the Huns from
> Gaul; who was the father of Childeric I. The dusty and worn pages of
> ancient history reveal very little about Childeric 1. But the little
> tribal king had his day, as proven by the discovery of his grave at
> Tournai in 1653. He had been laid to rest, with the royal trappings of
> his jewels, his arms, and his signet ring, inscribed with the name,
> "Childerici Regis," in the year A. D. 481. The translation of his name:
> Childe means battle, ric means ruler in the Germanic tongue. As a
> "Battle Ruler" at the age of twenty-three, it is likely that Childeric 1
> died in battle.
> That same fate appears to have befallen his son Clovis, Clovis' son
> Childebert, Childebert's son, Thibert, and down the line for almost 200
> years, when Childeric II appeared in 656.
> In A. D. 742 Childeric III was brought from his cloister to serve as
> king, but was soon replaced by Pepin who sent Childeric 111 back to his
> convent, where he lived out his life.
> Bertha, the daughter of Charibert, who was the king of Paris and the
> great grandson of Childeric 1, married King Ethelbert. Their daughter,
> Ethelburga, married King Edwin of Northumbria, England in 625. King
> Edwin died in battle in 633 while in his late teens. This family of
> Northumbria, the Franks, Britons, Scots and Picts, lasted for two
> hundred years.
> Around 1272, the Close Rolls of York County, England named several of
> the Childress ancestors: Isabel de Childers, during the reign of Henric
> III; in the Parish of Halifax, England, the Christening of the daughter
> of Roger Childers, Susanna, on 26 November 1559; in 1604 Hugh Childers
> became mayor of Doncastor of York County; his great grandson, Leonard
> Childers, gave England its first thoroughbred horse, "The Flying
> Childers", the greatest racer of its time. Thoroughbred breeders of
> America can trace their bloodline to "The Flying Childers" bred by the
> ancestors of the Childers /Childress line.
>
> Erskin Hamilton Childers, a descendant of Hugh Childers, served as the
> second president of Ireland until his death in 1974. Erskin Hamilton's
> father, Robert Erskin Childers, left England for Ireland before the
> Irish revolt.
> How many of this Childress line left Britain for the colonies remains in
> question, but the first one is on record: Abraham Childers, son of
> William Childers, Gentleman, and his wife Anna, of Saunby Manor, County
> Nottingham, was the first to come to our shores. Born in Nottingham
> County in 1622, Abraham was a soldier in the army of King Charles I.
> When the Royal Forces of Charles 1 were defeated in 1649, and Charles's
> head rolled, Abraham Childers left Britain for for safety in the America
> colonies.
> Abraham was surely one of those we so often read about, a "fugitive
> Cavalier." If so, he brought with him only a horse, a servant or two,
> and the hope that he would return to Britain, eventually. In the case of
> Abraham, that hope lost its meaning. By the time Charles II was brought
> to power, Abraham Childers was firmly entrenched in the colonies. In
> 1653, four years after landing at Chesapeake Bay, Abraham had married
> Anne Howard, the daughter of John Howard, Sr., a James River planter. He
> settled at Curles in Henrico County, Virginia, an area rich with the
> historical records of Childers/Childress families, just across the
> Virginia line and in North Carolina on Crooked Creek; all of them near
> or distant members of the same Childers/ Childress family.
>
> Colonial Wills of Henrico County Virginia Part 1 1654 1737, including
> the wills of five Abrahams with the surname Childers, sons and
> grandsons, so stated in most cases.
> 1. The will of Abraham married to Anne, wife and executrix, dated 1693,
> naming several children, including a John Childers.
> 2. The will of Henry Pew of Henrico Parish, naming several
> grandchildren, one John Childers and one Jane Childers. Pew was the
> father of Anne, widow of Abraham.
>
> 3. The will of Thomas Childers of Henrico Parish, naming wife, Mary the
> Executrix, dated 1734; land and houses to sons Thomas, James, John, and
> others.
>
> These names appear in later records from across the Virginia line and in
> North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi Territory, and the states of
> Alabama and Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky; as
> descendants migrated toward Texas, where the five year old Rufus Green
> Childress's father brought him in 1845.
>
> The year the first Abraham Childress died was 1678. About thirty years
> later, in 1709, his wife's father, Henry Pew, made a will naming his
> grandsons: Abraham Childers, John Childers and one other grandson and
> one granddaughter.
>
> In 1734 the will of Thomas Childers was probated in Henrico Parish
> naming, sons Philemon, Thomas, Benjamin, James and John and his wife
> Mary. Leaving Virginia and moving across its border into SurryCounty, NC
> in 1776, the citizens of Capt Hickman's district were listed in the

=============================================
Many many years ago when I was twenty three
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother for she was my father's wife
To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle, though it made be very sad.
For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my step-mother
Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandson for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
Because, although she is my wife, She's my grandma too
If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild
And every time I think of it it simply drives me wild
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As the husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpa!!

. Samuel RULE. Born about 1739 in Ireland. Samuel died in Bourbon
County, Kentucky in 1790; he was 51.
Information contained in a suit filed in Pendleton county, Kentucky on
14 March 1842, concerns the case of John Childers versus Griffin Eastin,
Adm of Edward Byram Rule's estate and David S Clarkson, Surety. It
states "E B Rule, resident of Pendleton co, died intestate seized of
personal and real estate, leaving a widow, Mary and 4 infant children;
John T Rule; Wm G Rule; Elenor E Rule; and E B Rule Jr. Griffin Easton
was appointed administrator and guardian of the infants and received
court permission to sell the real estate.
Having sold both the personal property and real estate of the deceased
Edward Byram Rule in Pendleton and Grant counties, Griffin then sold his
own land and was preparing to sell his personal property when the suit
was filed. The children and their mother moved to Mo shortly after
Griffin was appointed guardian and it was alleged Griffin planned to
move his family to Missouri within a few days of the filing of the suit.
Graham Wallace and others had paid large sums to Griffin Easton and
Childers complained Easton had made no settlement of judgements, notes
and accounts.
