Hi Jennifer,
>From the information you give, you have yet to establish if the person
you are researching is a Childers or a Childress. Do you have any
documents with the family's signatures from any time period?
Gary
Hello Eldon,
Just one other point. Even if there were no evidence of the Childresses crossing
from Ireland and if there were no extant family lore confirming it, there is still
one glaring piece of evidence that emerges. There is a population explosion of the
surname Childress/Childers..
The Childers lineage can, as you reference, have a Henry producing a John. The
problem is that upon close inspection there are too many Johns. In the 1790 census
of Albemarle and Amherst, I have counted 7 or 8 John Childresses (not counting the
Childers) that would have been alive at the same time (grandfathers, infant
grandsons, uncles, nephews, cousins etc.) and there just aren't enough ways to
connect these people into the Childers line. What has happened is that previous
researchers have treated these Johns as one person. And because the Childress line
recycles their names John, Joseph, William, James, Robert, Henry it is very hard to
tell when you are looking a one person or multiple people...until you start wading
into the records and confusion abounds. The Childress names are also very common
English names and the Childers use those names also. The first task therefore is to
try to separate, if possible, the two families and little by little a pattern
emerges where the Childers can have their lineages completed and the excess people
can find some order.

Hi all! I have been searching for information on the parents of a
George Washington Childress born 3-30-1848 in Bledsoe Co., TN. He was
born George Washington Childers but but changed it to Childress at some
point. He decided to leave home at 15 to make it on his own, so I guess
he just decided to change his surname too. His father was a Joseph
Childers born in NC 6-5-1820. His mother's name was Mary Ann Ferguson
born ca 1826 in NC.
I have the names of George's siblings but don't have any information
where Joseph Childers lived in NC, his parents, or siblings names.
It's driving me crazy! Any information would be so appreciated.
Jennifer
Looking for the following: 1. Wyatt Stubblefield CHILDRESS, married Mariah
MUSE, daughter of Thomas MUSE and Kiziah LASATER. 2. Moses Birdwell
CHILDRESS, married Eliza Jane OLIVER, daughter of Andrew OLIVER, Sr. Wyatt
and Moses were in Coffee Co. Tn in 1840, but were listed as CHILDERS. Wyatt
married in Franklin Co. There was another brother, HIram C. CHILDRESS, but he
was in TX by 1840. Moses and Wyatt were in Shelby Co, TX by 1845. Some
claim that they were the children of Thomas Russell CHILDRESS, but I can find
no proof of this. Some also claim that they were the brothers of George
Campbell CHILDRESS, who wrote the Texas Declaration of Independence, but I can
proof that that was NOT true. After following so much false information, I
still do not know who their parents were. Andrew OLIVER, Sr, and Jr. came to
TX with the CHILDRESS, as well as the brother of Mariah, Thomas Muse, Jr.
They settled in Shelby Co, TX, where they lived for many years.
The list should be set to reply to list to get a good conversation going.
Hey when I get time I will send in my Chidress names.

Happy New Year,

Hello Eldon,
Thank you for bringing up this information. It needs to be addressed. I
appreciate you quoting your sources in detail.
Some of the work you reference is accurate and some in inaccurate. There is a
long answer and a short answer. The short answer is that the information you
quote is laced with Childers surnames. There is a difference between Childers
and Childress and that requires a longer answer.
Sometimes I think that the CHILDRESS surname is on the verge of extinction. The
name has so co-mingled with CHILDERS in Virginia as to require a labor of love
to distinguish the two. At a casual glance one might presume they were
interchangeable. Some proclaim that. It is not so.
There are these distinctions between the Childers and Childress Surnames. I rely
on this information to make a differentiation.
The Childers migrated to Virginia from ENGLAND in the mid 1600's. I conclude
that the Childresses migrated to Virginia in 1745 from ULSTER, Northern
Ireland. The Childress family bought their own ship. The record of the
CHILDRESS crossing is recorded on the gravestone of Joel Childress, (whose
daughter Sarah married President Polk.) The gravestone of Joel Childress
makes reference to the ship leaving from Wales. The presumption is that the
immigration from Ulster left from myriad ports.
2) My family is related to Sarah Childress Polk and our family lore states that
our family was Scots-Irish (Ulster Scots, i.e. Scottish who migrated to Ulster,
didn't assimilate into Irish culture, then re-migrated to America in the 1700's)
and our family lore has some details that corroborate the 1745 date as the FIRST
crossing.
3) I have found other Childresses recounting this "irish" or "scottish" link.
I am actively collecting and piecing together oral histories that have survived.
I use this in the following way.
1) records created in America before 1745 are CHILDERS
2) birth dates before 1745 are born in Ireland.
3) there may have been several crossings/several families crossing
4) we are trying to find further corroboration of the crossing in Ireland and
Scotland and Wales.
There are numerous, voluminous misspellings of Childers and Childress. It
confuses the issue. There are 2 cheap ways to distinguish the names.
1) If the name traces to England before 1745 the researcher is looking at a
CHILDERS record.
2) Get a signature of the ancestor or the oldest known related ancestor, even
if it is 100 years later.
A widespread problem from the confusion of the names is that there are many
researchers whose work makes no distinction between the names. Researchers have
used the names interchangeably and therefore there is much "research" that is
full of errors.

Dear Pat White,
Amend item 8 to read
8) Conclusion: Mitchel is related to Childresses who had to have been
in Henrico,VA and Amherst, VA; and Knox County, TN. By process of
elimination (only a few Childresses left wills, those that didn't are
sorted by age category) my favorite candidate FOR THE PARENTS OF MITCHEL
are Joseph Childress of Amherst (married to a Mary).
Dear Pat,
Mitchel Childress is part of the general research I and my brother Mark
are doing on the Childress of the 18th Century. I can offer you these
opinions, suppositions, conclusions and generally wispy connections.
Hard
facts are at a premium.
1) the British in the American Revolution deliberately destroyed
documents
in many of the counties of VA where the Childress lived. Other
documents
were lost when trying to be hidden from the British and there
whereabouts
are unknown. The War of 1812, the Civil War and occasional court house
fires also have destroyed documents that had survived until then.
Documents are scarce.
We are drawing conclusions from the circumstantial evidence and
probabilities.
2) Mitchel left a pension statement for serving in the American
Revolution in which he states he was born in Henrico in 1750 and moved
to
Amherst, VA as a child.
3) Mitchel's parents therefore must also have been in Henrico and
Amherst
and been born ca. 1720's.
4) Mitchel signs his name using the a double "ss" in the colonial style
"fs" and makes me feel he is a Childress not a Childers.
5) The "Mitchel" name is used by what likely are diverse branches of the
Childress family. There is the use of the name Mitchel Bun Childress in
Kanawha, WV and of Henry Mitchell Childress in NC.
6) Mitchell may be the surname (maiden name) of a previous matriarch in
the Childress line.
7) Mitchel Childress marries in Amherst, VA which is the site of a
cluster of Childresses. Mitchel Childress moves to Knox County, TN
which
is a cluster of Childresses who moved there from Amherst VA.
8) Conclusion: Mitchel is related to Childresses who had to have been
in
Henrico,VA and Amherst, VA; and Knox County, TN. By process of
elimination (only a few Childresses left wills, those that didn't are
sorted by age category) my favorite candidate is Joseph Childress of
Amherst (married to a Mary).
9) Point of Confusion: There are 3 Josephs Childress/Childers of
similar
age in Amherst/Albemarle Counties. 2 are related by land deeds to
mainstream Childresses. The third appears to be a Joseph CHILDERS (also
married to a Mary) and is not related to the Childress line and has
children with the distinctive names Ruben, Shadrack, Joseph et. al.
10) Mitchell Childress marries a daughter of the Webb family. A Joseph
and Mary Childress/Childers?(I don't know which is correct, yet) have a
land transaction with the Webb family.
11) We have hired a researcher. Copies of ALL original documents from
Albemarle and Amherst are still being collected for us. While we have
looked at abstracts of a number of documents, there may yet be some more
clues to be found in a detailed inspection of Albemarle/Amherst records.
It will be about 3 months or more before our researcher is done.
12) We have looked at Henrico abstracts for any clues as to Mitchel's
parents there. But Henrico County, VA is a quagmire of CHILDERS and it
will be some time before I even attempt to sort that out (if it is at
all
possible). The Childress family in 1750 is, we infer, Presbyterian and
Parish Church records from Henrico or Hanover (which borders Henrico and
may have a cluster of Childresses) may have relevant documents to
Mitchel.
13) Documents from the Mitchell surnamed family may have some hidden
information about the Childress in-laws (if indeed there was a matriarch
whose maiden name was Mitchell and married a Childress).

We are seeking confirmation on the parents of Hugh Martin Childress (SR).
There is some evidence that his father's name was William. An old census
record from Hugh Martin, JR suggests that William may have been born in
Ireland and there is family lore as to the same. We have a direct line from
HMC, SR to us. There is a web site with the rest of the family if anyone is
interested. Thank you. Robert & Mary Wright
Robert,
Which census suggests the Ireland connection. Can you post the dates and
location you have for Hugh.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi,
I am interested in the Revolutionary soldier Mitchell Childress whom I
believe married Hannah WEBB, probably in Wilkes Co., NC.
Pat White
To Mary and Robert Wright, I show a Hugh Martin CHILDRESS as being born in
Madison County, Alabama, November 22, 1833 and being killed on July 5, 1863
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana during the civil war. His parents were Robert Uel
CHILDRESS and Temperance CONNALLY (my ggg grandparents). He had 16 brothers
and sisters. I have no information on his descendants but have information
on his parents and maternal grandparents and their ancestors dating back to
ca. 1696. If you think this is a match and are interested, let me know.
