I find it interesting that the following individuals are all listed on the same page in Dekalb Aalabama in 1840.
Sarah Bruce
Margt Cilders
Memply Bruce (I think this is Murphy)
I believe that Sarah Bruce is the mother of Murphy Bruce and that Margt Cilder is really Margaret Childress, wife of ayers Childress. My 3G grand mother states in the Giuon miller app that her father Ayers Childress went with the indians to oklahoma and was gone for some time and then came back so I think that he was gone during the time the census was taken and that is why Margaret is listed as head of house. My 3G grandmother was borm in dekalb alabama in 1832.

I am also trying to find a connection to this line of Childress. Do you have any information on Joels parents or siblings? Most people seem to think he was descended from John Childress and martha calhoun. But there is a letter from Sarah childress Polk saying that her sister Susan was named after Joels mother. My family stories say my 4 G grandfather was a cousin of sarah childress polk, but I can find no real information to support it.

Dr. Henry Childers [he or his wife etc, at least in 1880, under Childress spelling] was born ca 1808 Amherst Co VA and died ca 1845 Boone Co. KY, his wife makes census searching easier as Eliza Carey was born in DE
