31 dec 2009 from Warren Forsythe
compile rof database townsendthos
in previous digest emails, Justin Childress has uncovered so many wonderful
late 1700s Childress families of Charlotte Co VA
I've contributed a few more records from Charlotte Co. Will Book One etc
current summary posted at
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=townsendthos&id...
and that descendancy I'll try to copy at end of email, although better to go
to above URL for recent updates, and to click on names for the documentation
notes.
The main point is that no documentation of proper ancestry of any Charlotte
Co Childress family has been yet uncovered, except for immediate children of
Jeremiah Childress who was probated Feb 1792
Another fundamental point is that Childrey and Childers spellings must be
included in any search for ancestors of Virginia Childress families
that spelling flexibility is represented in the name of a modern and former
website researching this family
http://www.childers-childress.com/
and
http://original.childers-childress.com/
RESEARCH SUGGESTION to help assembled Charlotte Co. and other county
families under proper parents better:
some counties have lost their tax records, but Library of Virginia has other
counties personal property tax rolls from 1782 onward, Amelia Co and some
others from earlier dates
Library of Virginia microfilm reel #158 has Charlotte Co. Personal Property
tax rolls from 1782-1831. teenage boys are of great interest, since they
were supposed to be taxed with their father's tax record from age 16-20,
then taxed on their own from age 21 on
Slaves appear with valuations under the owner, but the following people
usually do not appear: usually daughters of the slaveowners, and sons
younger than 16.

Well here is mine Justine;
My father Louis E. Childress born in Tennemo, Tn 1934
My grandfather Louis F. Childress born in Dyersburg, Tn 1911
My Ggrandfather Lilly Mitchell Childress born in Dyersburg, Tn 1880
My GGgrandfather John Mitchell Childress born in Dyersburg, Tn 1849
My GGGgrandfather John William Childress born ( Unknown location) 1819
he married Millie Ann Thrift 1844 in Wilson County Tn.
That is as far as I have ever gotten. I hit a stone wall years ago. I read
everything that comes thru "Childress-Research" and I have also done the
DNA project. I am looking for an "absolute" and I'm not sure it will ever
develop.

My grandfather Conway Childress born in Person County North Carolina 1931,
son of:
My Ggrandfather Clarence D. Childress born in Halifax county 1904 he
married Mary King 1930 in Halifax county. He was the son of:
My GGgrandfather Henry L. Childress born in Halifax County Virginia 1881.
he married Sally (Lula) Boothe 1901 in Halifax county. he was son of:
My GGGgrandfather Joseph B. Childress born in Charlotte County Virginia
1841. He married to Sally Mealer 1873 in Halifax county. He was the son of:
My GGGGgrandfather William R. Childress born in 1805 Charlotte County
Virginia. He married Mary Childress 1828 in Mecklenburg county.
Thats as far as I got but there is a Thomas Childress that lives right
next to my William R. Childress in Charlotte county for about 30 years. He
lives right next to William R. Childress during the 1830, 1840, and 1850
censuses. I cannot find any other connection between them. This Thomas Childress
was born in 1785 in Charlotte County. He also was married to a Nancy
Singleton Pugh in 1816 in Charlotte County as well. This was his only marriage
to my knowledge.
I also think that William R. Childress has a brother named John. There was
a John Childress born in Charlotte county in 1798 who married Elizabeth
Berkley in 1813 in Charlotte County. A guy that my DNA matches in the DNA
project's oldest known ancestor, Charles F. Childress, was born in 1830 in
Charlotte county. I think this John is Charles' father. I also found that
there was a Robert Childress born in Charlotte County in 1788. I think that all
the above Childress are related I just can't prove it.
That is pretty much what I got so far.

This is my Childress line. I haven't been able to find a lot of
information about Douglas Childress. Can anyone help?
1. Bertha Pearl Childress b. 16 July 1881, Red River County, Texas; md.
Robert Lee Jones
2. Archie Lunsford Childress (Sr.) b. 13 Mar. 1857, probably in Claiborne
Parish, LA
3. Abram M. Childress, b. about 1833, Georgia
4. William Childress, b. about 1810, SC
5. Douglas Childress, b. about 1788, SC
Hi Justin,
Thank you for posting your family data regarding your lineage. Everyone
whose a member of this list knows I love to talk, LOL, but I'll try to keep
this short IF possible.
Your lineage is a dozy. I really am not going to say anything about it,
cause it's complicated enough! I will say this - Charlotte County came from
LUNENBURG Co, VA. My ancestor, Jeremiah Childress lived in Lunenburg until
Charlotte was carved from it, then of course, he became a part of Charlotte.
He died in 1790c and left a WILL which I have an original. I have
originals of most all the Childers and Childress wills.
You had previously mentioned that BENJAMIN Childress who left INVENTORY,
1779, in Charlotte could have been a son of Jeremiah Childress, Sr. No, he
wasn't. Jeremiah had THREE sons. ALL of them lived past the time of Benjamin
Childress death and the leaving of his INVENTORY of 1779. My Jeremiah had
a brother named Benjamin. I do not know what happened to him, but he was
most likely TO old to have been JOEL'S father. However, Lee Rau, another fine
researcher believed it could have been so, that Benjamin, brother to
Jeremiah was the father of Joel. Who knows huh?
We've had SO many discussions about Gary and Mark Childress claim, that
they are CELTIC and that their ancestor came here (States) in 1745 on their OWN
ship. They claim an ancestor named George "Childers." I say to that,
BUNK. Their ancestor was JOHN Childress born 1759 Albemarle County, he was an
ARW soldier. His oldest son was Robert, this Robert married a second time
and the woman lived in Virginia, NOT Tennessee, where they lived. SO, that
meant he KNEW her before, would have had to. He travels up to VA and married
her. Her direct ancestor was Abraham Childress lll and his first wife,
Elizabeth Cannon. The woman he married was Keziah (sp) Carter, daughter of
Peter, son of Solomon and Mary Ann Childress Carter.
The "proof" Mark Childress gave on his list was from two brothers. These
brothers were nephews of Joel Childress. Joel was bound out at 12 years old
in NC, to Abraham Childress, remained with him (as far as we know) till aged
21 and then moved to TN where he immediately married Elizabeth Whitsett,
the daughter of John W. Whitsett or Whitsitt. That's a long story.
The proof that Mark Childress used would have been a "family tradition" of
which no one mentioned till much later. Sarah Childress Polk, First Lady,
never mentioned it, her mother didn't either. No one did, however, the
nephews did. No one has actually seen this supposed 15 foot tall monument to
Joel Childress, making all those claims.
Mark Childress in his last writings before he passed away, included a
family tree. Its erroneous. If you want to know more, ask.
Thanks Justin, hopefully, someone will be able to help!

Hi List,
Not sure which John Childress this could be. In Knox County, TN, there
were several by that name, according to the census records - Also since the
earliest census records in TN were destroyed, then we are at the mercy of this
type of record. ARW vets, Mitchell Childress and John Childress, both had
sons named John and both lived in Knox Co, TN. I find it extremely
interesting that John was involved with a DUNCAN. If you look at the James Edmondson
will of 1793c, Wilkes Co, NC, you'll see both John Childress name listed
and also DUNCAN who was married to another daughter of James Edmondson. John
Childress married a daughter of James Edmondson of VA and NC.

Examination of Patrick Campbell, Thomas Brown, Benjamin C. Parker, Terrance
Campbell, Lewis Cox, Joseph Love and Thomas McCarry on the trial of Stephen
Duncan, Joseph Duncan, and JOHN CHILDRESS on behalf of the State for
killing Joseph Ravenhill on 25 May 1803 at the house of James and William Parks
formerly occupied by Christian Rhoads in Knox Co. TN. Taken before James White
& John Hillman, Justices for said County.
Stephen Duncan one of the prisoners was first brought forward and pled not
guilty. The witnesses above named were all sworn and examined one by one.
(1) Patrick Campbell states he saw Stephen Duncan shoot Joseph Ravenhill who
immediately dropped. That Ravenhill had made use of no violence or threats
but walked to the door of the house and asked them within to open the door or
some such words and also stated that the prisoner was informed that the
party without had come forward with a state warrent against Joseph Duncan and
JOHN CHILDRESS and others; that possession was not what they came after, they
might keep it, as that was not their object, and that they did not want
Stephen Duncan nor had anything to do with him. (2) Thomas Brown states he saw
Ravenhill fall from the fire of a gun within the house and that he is since
died from the wound; that Ravenhill was at the door in a peaceable and
friendly manner asking for entrance by saying Come Boy Open The Door. (3) Benjamin
C. Parker states he saw Stephen Duncan put his gun through a crack of the
house and apparently take particular aim by leveling his gun to the door
where Ravenhill stood and deliberately fired. Ravenhill he very shortly after
saw was shot down. (4) Terrance Campbell says he was on the contrary side of
the house where could not see, only heard the firing. (5) Lewis Cox states he
saw Stephen Duncan deliberately ----? himself (as he believes) by bending
on knee to the floor and leveling his gun through a crack at the door and
fired and saw Ravenhill before the mouth of Duncan's gun falling, did fall was
wounded and of which he died. (6) Joseph Love Sheriff states that after he
had received his State warrant to all the parties in the house, told his
business was only with those named in the warrant, and that he did not come to
get possession, that he did not want it, with much friendly advice and
positive ----? on the part of those in the house after all this, and before any
violence was made use of on the part of him or those with him, he saw Stephen
Duncan lay down a Pistol and take up a Gun and fired it at Ravenhill who
immediately fell and was afterward carried off the ground.
JOHN CHILDRESS next brought forward and charged who pled not guilty. (1)
Patrick Campbell states that CHILDRESS was in the house armed, and apparently
disposed to shoot from the manner in which he conducted himself at the time
Stephen Duncan shot Ravenhill. (2) Benjamin Parker says he saw JOHN
CHILDRESS in the house armed with a musket at the time Ravenhill was shot and that
he had smelt and burned powder and would do so again before he left the
house, after which Benjamin Parker states he saw the mouth of the gun that he
thinks CHILDRESS ----? ----? as if she had been fired and immediately after
which he found James Parker wounded in the shoulder and jaw and is inclined to
believe it was from the fire of JOHN CHILDRESS. (3) Thomas Brown states that
JOHN CHILDRESS was in the house at the time Stephen Duncan shot Ravenhill
before and after, that CHILDRESS stood near the middle of the house
apparently preparing to fire a gun he held with both hands, saying he was informed
this was a state warrant against him and that he would not be taken, ----?.
(4) J. Love states that JOHN CHILDRESS was in the house armed with a gun
apparently making ready to fire when Stephen Duncan shot Ravenhill and swore he
would come out dead before he would give up. (5) Lewis Cox says JOHN
CHILDRESS was in the house before ("and after" crossed out) Stephen Duncan shot
Ravenhill armed and conducting in a very threatening manner.
Joseph Duncan next brought forward and charged who also pled not guilty.
(1) Benjamin Parker states that Joseph Duncan was within the house armed
before and after Stephen Duncan shot Ravenhill, that he also ----? giving up
saying he had learned his lesson before he left town. (2) Patrick Campbell
states that he saw Joseph Duncan within the house armed before Stephen Duncan
shot Ravenhill and that he heard Joseph Love the Sheriff tell Joseph Duncan
that it was not possession he wanted but ----? the ----? of the State warrant
which read that Joseph Duncan said he had the advice of a lawyer and would
not give up. (3) Joseph Love states that Joseph Duncan was within the house
before and after Ravenhill was shot, armed at the same time, who refused
giving up in most positive terms or being taken by Love with the States warrant
which was ----? to him. (4) Thomas Brown says Joseph Duncan was in the house
before and after Ravenhill was shot and Mr. Brown also states that he heard
Joseph Duncan say he would have killed Joseph Love if his pistol had not
have ----? as she was with charges. (5) Lewis Cox says Joseph Duncan was in the
house before Ravenhill was shot, and positively refused to give up after
being told by the Sheriff about the State warrant and that he did not want
possession. (6) Thomas McCarry on his examination states that Joseph Duncan was
in the house before Ravenhill was shot, that he was armed and came forward
to the window and a pistol fired, which he McCarry thinks Joseph Duncan
fired it. McCarry also states to Joseph Duncan deliberately the impropriety of
his, Duncan, conduct, and advised him to give up who refused ----? saying he
had legal advice.
On the examination of the above witnesses all seem to agree that no
violence was offered or threat made by the Sheriff or any of the party with him
that Ravenhill was shot down and that the State warrant was ----? and explained
and no ----? seemed to want anything else but the party named therein.
On Habeas Corpus, State vs. Joseph Duncan, 30 June 1803.
Terrance Campbell a witness called and sworn on behalf of the Defendant;
questions by defendant's council: (1) Did you hear the Sheriff forbid any
person from breaking the door of the house in which Defendant was? Answer: I did
not. (2) Did you hear the Sheriff command any person to break into the
house? Answer: I did not. (3) Did you see any person raise a rail to break the
door? Answer: I don't remember that I did. (4) Did you hear those in the
house direct those out of it to keep off? Answer: Stephen Duncan I think said if
they broke the door they would do it at their risk, if they broke the door
or attempted to enter the house he would shoot, or some words to that
effect. (5) Immediately after Stephen Duncan fired did not those in the outside of
the house fire in? Answer: I don't know I was on the different side of the
house from where Ravenhill was shot.
Joseph Love is sworn for Defendant; questions by defendant's attorney: (1)
Do you recollect of prohibiting them from breaking the house? Answer: Not
just at the time Ravenhill was shot - Parks ("took the rail to break the door"
crossed out) struck with the but of his gun the door. I mentioned to him
not to break it just then perhaps we could get them out peaceably if we could
not we would break it. (2) After this and before Ravenhill was shot did you
give any directions to break the door? Answer: I don't remember that I did.
(3) Did you see Ravenhill make use of any means to break the door? Answer: I
think I seen him have a piece of timer a punchion or piece of rail but did
not see him strike with it; I think I was looking in at the window; this was
within a few minutes of the time Stephen Duncan fired; perhaps the very
time? (4) (Questions by the Judge) Do you know how Ravenhill happened to be
there, if you do tell how it was? Answer: I summoned him to go and aid me in
taking the bodies of Joseph Duncan, JOHN CHILDRESS & Richard Elliott & John
Finly, who I was informed was in that house. (5) What reason had you for
summoning a guard to go arrest them? Answer: I was told when the States warrant
was handed me that Joseph Duncan had said if I came there he would kill me.
(6) When you got to the house did you inform those in it what was your object
in coming? Answer: I did, Stephen Duncan told me to stand off; I told him I
had nothing against him I wanted two men ----? the house; he said he had
----? ----? possession; I told him he might keep it to eternity; I did not
want him or the possession, to send them two men out and he might stay there.
(7) Do you know that Joseph Duncan heard this? Answer: I think he was looking
at me, I called to him by name that I was going to read the state warrant.
(8) (Questions by Defendant's attorney) Did you hear Parks or any other say
before you went down there anything about the possession? Answer: I did, I
heard them say the others had got possession in the night forcibly and they
wanted it back in some way; but I did not go to give them possession nor
summon the men for that purpose. (9) How long was it after you received the
warrant before you went to execute it? Answer: I received it early in the
morning and went to execute it about 10 o'clock the same day; I remember telling
Stephen Duncan both before and after reading the warrant I had nothing to do
with him nor the possession, that Joseph Duncan & CHILDRESS who were in the
house with him, I wanted; that I had summoned all them men to aid and assist
me in arresting them and charged him not to interfere with them or me.
James Miller, a witness for Defendants ----? and saith: On a Monday morning
in May last I was coming to town, met with the Sheriff at Mr. Browns & he
summoned me on a guard to take the bodies of 3 or 4 men named in a warrant. I
went with him to Rhodin's old place; when we went to the gate we got off
our horses and marched down to the house. Several of those who went with us
got to the house before me and some of them were talking in at the window with
those in the house when I got there. They advised the Defendant to come out
& give up; he said he would not come out; a great deal of conversation on
that subject took place which I did not particularly attend to. I went round
to where Stephen Duncan was talking with T. Brown, Parks and others. They
were talking about the possession, telling him he had taken it forcibly, he
was saying he got it peaceably, he said John Finly had given a ----? for it.
It seemed as if Mr. Brown was convinced by him he had got it peaceably for I
heard Brown exclaiming against the old woman for giving it up; heard Stephen
Duncan presently say he would not give up the possession & that if any
person attempted to break the door he would kill or cripple them. The Sheriff
about this time was called and came up to read his authority and read it, I
heard him reading it but did not hear its contents. The dispute continued some
time, Parks and I went round to the other side of the house. Mr. Parks took
a rail & began on that door with an apparent intention of breaking it open
as he struck it pretty hard. The other door was struck at the same time by
some person, I don't know who, two or three times, I don't know which before
the first gun fired. Immediately after the first gun fired 2 or 3 guns fired
simultaneously as quick as they could. Immediately afterward a pistol fired
out at the side where I stood. When the first fired out at the side where I
was, Parks laid down his rail and cried out a miss?; proceded back to take
up his rail and a second fired that struck him, I seen him scratch his
shoulder thought he was hit in (a dangerous place). He turned round the house to
where oppisite a window. (a dangerous place) went and took him away &
carried him up to his house. After being there some time seen Joseph Duncan,
CHILDRESS & ---- (named crossed out) come up; Joseph Duncan observed to the
Sheriff who was with me he did not know his meaning or he would not have stood
out. He then gave himself up. (1) Questions by Defendants Council: You have
said immediately after firing first gun 2 or 3 others fired. Did they fire
from within or out of the house? Answer: I can't tell. (2) Do you recollect any
threats by Parks or any others about taking possession before the affray
took place? Answer: On our way down to the house I did hear some conversation
by some of the company when I said if they meant to keep possession all the
men there could not take it. I think there were eleven horsemen of us, I
don't know how many footmen; all armed that I noticed, some with one kind of
arms & some with others. (3) Do you remember of hearing the Sheriff prohibit
them from breaking the house? Answer: I don't remember to have heard him say
anything about it; remember to have heard Stephen Duncan say he had no spite
against any man in the Company. (4) Do you recollect of seeing a rail at
the opposite door from where you was? Answer: Sometime after the firing was
over I seen something like aa piece of a puncheon near where Ravenhill was
said to have been shot.

Hello,
I just subscribed to the list and wanted to put my ancestral line out there for any one to compare notes with.
My ancestral line goes something like this:
My grandfather Conway Childress born in Person County North Carolina 1931, son of:
My Ggrandfather Clarence D. Childress born in Halifax county 1904 he married Mary King 1930 in Halifax county. He was the son of:
My GGgrandfather Henry L. Childress born in Halifax County Virginia 1881. he married Sally (Lula) Boothe 1901 in Halifax county. he was son of:
My GGGgrandfather Joseph B. Childress born in Charlotte County Virginia 1841. He married to Sally Mealer 1873 in Halifax county. He was the son of:
My GGGGgrandfather William R. Childress born in 1805 Charlotte County Virginia. He married Mary Childress 1828 in Mecklenburg county.
I was doing somre research and I wanted to throw some ideas out there. I was just wondering what others thought.
Part I
The accepted idea is that all the Celtic Childress Families came over on different boats at different times. But what if they all came over at once. Maybe on the 1745 crossing? I was researching passenger lists of ships that left out of scotland during the 1700s and found that on all of the ships, there were several families that came over not just one. On each one of these ships there was at least thirty different people. Also on each Ship there seemed to be a lot of people with the same name. What it seems like is that a couple different families went in on a ship together. Probably for money reasons. What if the John Childress Family came over with other childress families on the same ship during the 1745 crossing. Mark and Gary's family would definitly be on it because they have proof from family records. Other families could be on it but they didn't leave any kind of record or if they did it got destroyed.
Also these trips were trans atlantic voyages. They were not easy. There could have been a lot more people on the ship to help sail. From what I read, John Childress and his family were Saddlers and Blacksmiths. They didn't make a living by sailing. Also, they were pretty expensive. The first settlers in this country only come over because they recieved money from English Government. The ship could have been funded by several families instead of just one. I don't know how much they made back then but I don't know if it was enough to buy a whole ship to sail to America. Not only did they need a crew to sail them here, they needed food and supplies to last the whole voyage. This would take a quite a bit of money. I'm not saying that the John Childress Family did not do this. I am just saying that it is a possibility that they got some help from other families that traveled with them.
I think maybe the John Childress family could have sailed with other Childresses who were distant cousins.
Part II
Sorry if it patchy and hard to understand. I will try to connect it all so it makes sense.
I was researching and found a man named Drury Childress who married a Phoebe Bowles in Charlotte County Virginia in 1791. Drury Childress was listed as being bound out in Charlotte County in 1777 with his Sister Prucilla. Their mother was listed as being Sarah Childress. This Drury lived in Charlotte then moved to Buckingham County in 1810 and 1820 where I find him on the Censuses. In 1820 he has one son who was between 10-16 which coincides with the age of my grandfather William R. Childress born 1805. After 1820 I cannot find him. He lives right next to another Childress named William.
In the DNA project I match a man that has an oldest known ancestor of Charles F. Childress. This Charles was born in 1830 in Charlotte County Virginia. He has a brother named Tilman who was born in Charlotte County in 1824. This Tilman was a Saddler/Leatherworker as his occupation. Their mother is Elizabeth Childress. Charles lives with her during the 1860 Census. I believe their father is a John Childress. I am almost sure of it. There is a John Childress who was born in 1798 in Charlotte County and married Elizabeth Berkley (born in Charlotte 1800) in 1813. He lives in Charlotte county up until 1840 and then in 1850 he lives in Buckingham County with his wife Elizabeth, and his kids. One of which is named Drucilla. More on that later. In 1840 he has a son between 10-15 which coincides with Charles and a son between 15-20 which coincides with Tilman. In 1860 John is gone. I cannot find him in any censuses. Elizabeth shows up in a 1860 Census in Appomattox county living with her son Charles.
My question is why do both of these men who were born and married in Charlotte County move to Buckingham. I think that John's father is Drury Childress and Phoebe Bowles. John names a Daughter Drucilla. That is a very rare name. I think it was a mixture of the name Drury and the name Prucilla. I also think that they had family in Buckingham. Their line of the family moved from Buckingham which was Albemarle to Charlotte or what was Lunenberg at that time. Maybe why they moved was because they inherited some kind of land in Buckingham.
I think that my William R. Childress is the son of Drury and the Brother of John. Or Drury could be the Uncle of my William R. Childress.
There is a John Childress who marries Nancy Ferrell in 1781. They could be the parents of the Thomas Childress who lived next to my William R. for years and years. And this Thomas could be the father of my William R. but I find it unlikely seeing as Thomas Childress first marriage was in 1816 to Nancy Singleton Pugh, 11 years after my grandfather was born.
In conclusion, I would like to point out the POSSIBLE connections between my family and the family of Mark and Gary. Assuming that what I have said is true, my branch of Childress would have connections to Albemarle county which is where Mark and Gary's family starts out. Buckingham county was a part of Albemarle at one time. Not only that but Tilman was a saddler. This was an occupation of Mark and Gary's family while they were in Scotland. And lastly, John Childress who was born in 1798 is named John. I think it may be a family name. My grandfather's name, or the son of William R. Childress, is named Joseph Childress. This may be another family name.
I am really looking foward to what you all have to say whether it be to agree with me or disagree with me.

RE: Childress / Childers of Charlotte Co VA late 1700s
from Warren forsythe -- genealogy126 (at) FAIRPOINT.net
I'm a colonial specialist; although on my database townsendthos at
http://wc.rootsweb.com
I try to show some descendants down to early 1800s if they are easily
compiled
===========
BTW finding colonial connections is easier if we're more flexible on
spelling. Earliest virginia records are most commonly under Childers or
Childrey etc. I have never seen a colonial VA record using the Childress
spelling, but no matter, the main point is that all spellings have to be
searched, during the pre-Noah-Webster (first published dictionary 1828 or
so) era when standardized spelling was unknown, only standardized oral
pronounciation was known back then.
================
Justin Childress message of 26 dec 2009 (see below)
is reminiscent of pages 51-52 in Virginia Genealogist (1991) volume 35
where Benjamin Childers was born bef 1720, older brother of a Jeremiah
Childers whose will was probated in Charlotte Co VA Feb 1792 in Will Book 1:
440-441.
====================
Another possible candidate for the identity of Benjamin Childress whose will
was reportedly in Charlotte Co. VA 1779 would be Benjamin, son of the above
Jeremiah Childers.
=====================================================
I don't see a connection FOR THIS QUERY,
to Henry Childers/Childress whose will was probated in Cornwall Parish of
Lunenburg Co VA on 3 March 1761
--but Cornwall Parish 4 years later became Charlotte Co VA, as I recall; so
we must keep Henry in mind during any early Charlotte co VA Childress
investigations. Several documents on Henry are listed on pages 268-272 of
volume 34 (1990) of Virginia Genealogist.
As we see at
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=townsendthos&id...
--
That Henry Childers or Childress probated 1761 in Lunenburg Co VA apparently
had eleven children; so many descendants are possible, even though very few
of those (potential) have, as yet, been identified, as far as I'm aware,
under either the Childress or the Childers spellings--and since some
children were young when Henry died, some of those descendants could
(potentially) even have assumed totally different surnames, through a
widow's remarriage, or possibly becoming foster children of a married
sister/aunt on either side of the family etc.
==========================
Until I hear more correct family tree compilation, I try to post these
helpful Chalrotte Co. VA Childress family tentative family tree connections,
for now tentatively--in order to provoke more discussion and reports,
--as possible descendants, under above Benjamin Childers, brother of above
Jeremiah Childers who was probated Feb 1792 in Charlotte Co. VA
--
Thanks for communicating your helpful reports (see below) of additional
descendant connections!
keep those Colonial VA Childress reports coming!

Hello all,
My name is Justin Childress and I am brand new to the list. I took the DNA test and I found that I belong in the Celtic Childress group.
I am trying to research my family line and I have found that my oldest known ancestor is named William R. Childress who was born in 1805 in Charlotte County Virginia. He married Mary Childress in 1828 in Mecklenburg county. There is also a John Childress who was born in Charlotte county in 1798. I think that they are brothers because of the place of birth and time range. I also think that they are brothers because I share the same genetic makeup as a person whoes latest ancestor was Charles Childress born in Charlotte county in 1830. I have done some research and I believe that this John Childress is Charles' father. This person and I would share a common ancestor that was the father of John and William R.
I have hit a wall and cannot find anything further as of right now. I think that I may be related to a Benjamin Childress who left a will in Charlotte County in 1779. I read that this Benjamin was the father of Joel Childress, father of Sarah Childress Polk, which made me wonder if there was anybody on this list that was related to this Joel. If there were somebody, I was hoping they could take the dna test. If anyone could help I would be highly thankful.

13 Dec 2009 from Warren Forsythe
The late Jack Childers posted the best Mosby Childers (ca1760-1843)
descendancy and documentary sources that I've ever found on the internet.
Since he no longer can respond to queries about his fine descendancy, posted
at
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=townsendthos&id...
I consolidated, from all readily available internet sources, all the known
grandchildren (and spouses of granddaughters) for that family of Elizabeth
(Jeffries) and Mosby Childers who married 1785 VA.
I made one discovery about the family as a whole:
By 1802 they had already made the 200 mile move westward from Greenbrier Co.
to Kanawha Co VA/WV, presumably by 1802 into that portion of Kanawha Co.
which 1804 became Mason Co. VA/WV, where they were located in 1810, and
directly across the Ohio River from where they were located by 1812 in
Gallia Co. OH
Sources for that descendancy data, as posted on above internet site:
ID: I5157
Name: Mosby Moseby Rev_War_:_5th_VA CHILDERS
Sex: M
Birth: ABT 1760 in reportedly,Albemarle,VA,age 19 in 1780
Death: 3 AUG 1843 in ,Hancock,Indiana

Note:
ANCESTORS OF MOSBY CHILDERS ARE UNKNOWN AND ALL FATHERS LISTED 2009 ON
http://wc.rootsweb.com are incorrect as shown by Childers of Va descendancy
in the Virginia Genealogy volumes 34 and 35.
However
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/CHILDRESS-DNA/2004-04/10833...
interprets DNA evidence as suggesting Mosby's descendants' DNA fits more
closely with descendants of Abraham Childers III of VA (~1681 - 1763)
Maybe so, but no grandsons of his, by any of his 3 known sons, have been
confirmed; so no [male] y-DNA line known, & y-DNA is type of DNA referred to
!
------------------------------------------------------
By the way above archiver site is incorrect that above Abraham III descended
from Philemon Childers. All Abra.III's paternal ancestors in America were
named
Abraham Childers II and Abraham I who immigrated to Va. from England ;
