I hadn't checked the messages for a long time. I am so thrilled to get all this information about Harrison. I am descendeed from Harrison's youngest child Mach Andrew Childress. Mach moved his wife Sarah Ann Pogue and children Viola, Myrtle, and Lester to Creek Co. Oklahoma in 1901. I believe there were infants Willie and ?? buried in Moniteau.
Does anyone have any idea what Harrison's wife's maiden name was?

Hi,
Your great grandmother, Blanche Travis Rodgers Lansinger, was my Grandmother's sister. My Mother was Anna Blanche, and her Mother was Lucille Valdis. My sister remembers as a very young child going to vist Great Grandma Grubbs, in El Paso, TX in 1951. I would imagine they visited your Grandmother and GreatGrandmother as well.
Would love to have more information about my Grandmother's side of the family. Thanks to this post we are also in contact with my Mother's Father's side of the family. My Mother never knew her Father, as Lucille divorced James Childress when my Mother was around 8 or so. My Mother passed away in 1998. He half sister, Mary Jane, passed away in 2005.

Hi,
I feel sad too that she never got to know her Dad or you. He was always a mystery to her and to us. The one sad memory she talked about was walking to the bus station with him the day he left. He told her none of this was her fault. She really hung on to that last memory of him. When we asked my Grandmother about him she was kind of vague. She did say she thought he a a Brother or two and they were all named after authors. Is that true?
We would love to know more about all of you and the Childress side of the family. I always imagined my Mother looked like her Father because she didn't look anything like her Mother, Lucille. My Mother was VERY intelligent, close to a genius IQ. She was a real estate broker and had her own real estate office in the late 50's and early 60's in Northern California. She was good at it and worked very hard.
My sister and I are so excited to know more about the Childress side of the family. It will be like finally solving a mystery in our lives. I hope you will send us your name and a way to get in contact with you.

The only reason my mother gave was that he said, "There's too much water under the bridge." He was a different sort of person, much a loner. We grew up with Anna Blanche in our lives; our mother talked about her to us, what little she knew, & we always wished we could know her. I woke up this morning feeling so sad about her never knowing her dad or us, & my brother never knowing that we found you. We have another sister, 7 years older than me, but she's like our dad. I will get some things together & send them, okay? Thanks for replying, I just wish we'd found your mom in time to know her. In the one picture my dad had of her (4years old) she looked like our dad & sister.

Hello! This is all very exciting! My Mother always hoped she would find her Father or hear from him. She would have loved knowing she had siblings. She did have several step borthers and sisters and one half sister that she was very close to.
The ad you say he kept in his wallet was the one she sent out looking for him? Wonder why he didn't respond, especially if he knew she wanted to find him? My sister and I would love pictures and info about our Grandfather, and about you and your brother. You can contact me directly at Mntndreamer2(a)aol.com.

Hi, I'm so excited to hear from you. I actually found a lot about your mother after your Aunt Blanche's granddaughter contacted me. I even found yu & your sister's info, but I've been afrid to contact you lest you had no interest in hearing from me. I have been so sad since finding that I missed Anna Blanche by a few years. My Dad actually cut her ad from a paper & carried it in his wallet until he died in 1953. I didn't know about it until long after he was gone, & my mother didn't keep the clipping, or remember details by then. My brother & my children & I have wanted so much to find her & let her know, but all my mother knew was "around LA & went by step-father's name". I've been looking for years, but not enough clues.If you would like pictures or info about her Dad (your grandfather), let me know.

My Mother was Anna Blanche Childress (Audet). Her Mother was Lucille Valdis Rodgers/Sears (Childress, Stewart, Penrose). My mother never saw her Father after the age of 8, so we never knew any of the Childress side of the family or anything about him. My mother passed away in 1998 at the age of 79.

Our Reps Osborn Childress married Mary Hill in Stokes County NC in 1805.
Could there be any connection? He later moved to Lincoln County TN.

Great, Sharon. I would love to receive the updated sheet. I bet your meeting with a cousin from Harrison's sibling will be fascinating especially since she's done enough research to publish a book.
Later,

Denise,
I have a lot of info about Harrison. There is another cousin who lives about 30 min. from here, and we are getting together in a couple of weeks. She published a book on Harrison's siblings. She is a descendant of one of Harrison's siblings. I am going to do an updated family record sheet for Harrison, and I will send you one.
I hope that your foot is doing better. Mom told me that you had surgery. Since you couldn't get around too well, I sure you had a little more time to devote to doing this research. My interest was renewed when I was trying to organize some old files. I thought I would join Ancestry to see if it would help me.
Keep in touch.
