I am curious about you since your mother's maiden name is Childress from Moniteau Co., MO. We must be related because most of my dad's relatives live in Moniteau Co. I am thinking you are one of the cousins. So do you go to the Childress-Martin family reunion in August? Are you Denise?
Yes, that tombstone you are talking about is that of Harrison Childress. Many of his family are buried near that tombstone. The sad part about the tombstone is that it was severely damaged during one of those bad storms we had last spring/summer. A tree limb fell on it and broke it in two pieces. When I went to visit the gravesite in August, there was nothing left of the tombstone but the small base. Now no one would know who was buried there. We have never found a tombstone for his wife, Nancy, but she must be buried there. Also, there eldest son is buried there too, but have never found any tombstone. Some of those tombstones at Mt. Zion Cemetery are very old, and it is very difficult to read what is written on them.
Please get back to me.
Sharon

My mother's maiden name is Childress and we live in Moniteau County, MO. There is a grave stone, believed to be the oldest in the Mt. Zion Cemetery outside of Jamestown MO, that says "Childress" Born in Stokes Co., N.C., March 17, 1798, died Sept. 17, 1876" No one here seems to know anything about this man's first name, but I believe now he must be Harrison Childress. The part of the tombstone which would have given his first name is broken off. I would be interested in knowing where his wife is buried and will need to do some checking. Don't know about his parents or wife's name, but would love to find out.

Many years ago, I was in touch with Pat L. from Oregon. She was a descendant of John H.'s. Are you that same Pat? I didn't have an e-mail address for you then, but I still have your home address and phone number.

I am a descendant of William Childress B:1824 D: 1891 of Catawba, N.C. Married in 1844 to Sarah(Sallie) last name either Wood or Howard also of Catawba, N.C. I am having difficulty deciphering records concerning William's parents. I have nothing on Sarah's ancestors as I am unsure of her surname. I am descendant from their son Daniel Wood Childress. His son William Wilkerson Childress is my grandfather.
