Dear Listmembers
Does any listmember have any information on the address of the family of the
recently deceased Buddy Childress of Princeton, Ky. His wife Gina Loyce
Childress has apparently re-married and uses her new married name, which I
do not know.
I understand that this family has a Childress bible with entries for William
Marion Childress. If anyone knows how to contact this family, I'd welcome
being informed.
Regards,
Gary Childress
Any connection with my Francis Marion Childress?

John Childress History
Thanks for your note. The name of William's son is William Marion,Sr. and
the name of my great grandfather is William Marion, Jr. I have both of
their
Bible records and I also have visited the cemetery and seen the tomb
inscriptions of both. William Marion, Jr. died when my grandfather (James
Elbert Childress) was only 3 months old so of course he did not know his
father. Sincerely, Dorothy Hester White Harkins

I am always looking for info on a Francis (or Franklin) Marion Childress who
married (1) Sarah ?? and (2) Mary A. Echols in 1849. He may have died in TX.
Descendants of Francis Marion Childress
Generation No. 1
1. FRANCIS MARION1 CHILDRESS1,2 was born Abt. 1825 in GA3,4, and died
January 18, 1888 in TX5. He married (1) SARAH AL. LNU6. He married (2)
MARY A. ECHOLS7,8,9,10 1849, daughter of SAMUEL ECHOLS and SALLY BOOKER.
She was born December 02, 1825 in Ft. Payne, AL, and died January 18, 1890
in Fort Payne, DeKalb County, AL11.
Notes for FRANCIS MARION CHILDRESS:
The DAR application (327865, dated 5/1/1941) of Sarah Alameda
Childress Blackwell shows Franklin Childress born 1820 in England. No
specific source is provided.
1850 DeKalb County, AL Census shows spouse as Sarah A. 1860 Polk
County, GA Census shows spouse as Mary A. Did he marry twice? No source
other than DAR application that he died in TX.

(Note that in 1882, Minnie Beauregard Childress married Lilburn Henderson
King, whose father was born in SC in 1811. The Kings came to DeKalb County
from Hall County and Forsyth County, GA, in the mid 1850's. A.J. King would
have been born in 1820 - perhaps a relative of James R. King?)

F. (Franklin or Francis?) M. Childress must have first married Sarah
Al. (ameda?), possibly in GA since they were both born there, then may have
moved with her to DeKalb County, AL (1850 Census). Then he married second
Mary A. Echols, with whom he lived in Polk County, GA in 1860 (1860 census).
Sarah Alameda Childress was born in Cedartown, Polk County, GA in 1860, but
Minnie Beauregard Childress was born in DeKalb County, AL one year later in
1861, so the family must have moved back to AL between 1860 and 1861.

Hi, I am a descendant of the CHILDRESS clan. This is my lineage as far
as I can get. I am lost in the Childress web.
LULA CHILDRESS-1869 ALA Creek /Cherokee mix>>>>>>>>ABRIAM W.?or M OR
ANDERSON W. CHILDRESS born 1844 ALA, Abriam's name changes in every
piece of information that I have. His father was born in NC, his
mother in SC . Abriam was married to SUSAN WHITAKER (Cherokee or Creek
Indian) this was Abriam's second marriage. Susan's father was STEPHEN
WHITAKER Cherokee or Creek mix and his mother was ELIZABETH ROBBINS
Cherokee mix . Her parents were JOHNSON ROBBINS Cherokee mix and SARA
HUMMINGBIRD full Cherokee or Creek Indian.
I think that F.M.(FRANCIS MARION) CHILDRESS-1795 NC AND first wife
HARRIET JONES
born 1820 SC are Abriam's parents. F.M. CHILDRESS' parents were JOHN
CHILDRESS-1774 SC and???. F.M's parents were THOMAS CHILDRESS and
LOTTIE BREWER. Lula Childress
and her parents AW Childress and Susan Whitaker have been verified, the
rest is just supported by census and history. Does anyone have these
Childresses in their tree? Any and all information, a lot or a little
is greatly appreciated. (KAY <nomoney6(a)bellsouth.net>)

GOOD MORNING LISTERS,
I HAVE HAD THIS PEDIGREE FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND I WONDER WHAT THE
MEMBERS OF THIS LIST HAVE TO SAY ABOUT. DOES ANYONE HAVE PROOF THAT IT
IS WRONG AND CAN SAY DEFINITELY THAT TO BE THE CASE? I HAVE NO PROOF
THAT IT IS RIGHT OR WRONG. CAN ANYONE ADD TO IT? ANY AND ALL POSITIVE
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS WILL BE RECEIVED GRACIOUSLY AND I THANK YOU IN
ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR GREAT HELP. PS I AM STILL LOOKING FOR LULA
CHILDRESS' ANCESTRY OR AT LEAST SOME CLUES IF ANY OF YOU HAVE THEM. I AM
ABOUT TO CONCLUDE THAT HER FATHER WAS ANDERSON W CHILDRESS SON OF MARION
FRANCIS CHILDERS AND HARRIET JONES. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THIS?
THANKS A BUNCH ( KAY <nomoney6(a)bellsouth.net>)

Oliver Childress, the sixth child of Francis Marion and Mollie Childress
from Red River Co,Texas. Oliver was born September 26, 1879. Oliver never
married. He liked to roam the country. He would leave home without telling
anyone where he was going and would be gone for various lengths of time. As
he got older he would be gone for longer periods of time. At times he would
send a card to his brother Rile to let him know where he was. It is know
that he was in Woods Co, Texas to visit an uncle, Henry Pierson Childress.
Eventually he vanished and no one ever knew what happened to him.
I have been trying to unravel this mystery.
There is some speculation that he might have been in prison somewhere. Is
there anyone out there that can help??? Any info would be greatly
appreciated.
Francis Marion Childress' parents were Abram Childress and Juda Anderson. I
have alot of info for this line. I have some mysteries to solve too. I have
a few colorful stories too. Let me know if I can hlep.

Hi,
The middle name of your William is one I have seen mentioned, however I have
not not seen a source of proof for the middle name. I have records in my

I will search those files and possibly some of them will be of interest to

ADAM MEEK, SR. ERECTED FIRST HOUSE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.ADAM MEEK, SR.,
whose tombstone shows that he died June 8, 1828, is said to have been
the first settler to build a house in what is now JEFFERSON COUNTY. He
came to Jefferson Co. after the close of the revolution, from over the
mountains in Mecklenburg County, and one account declares he was a
native of Ireland. Doubtless he was of Scotch-Irish stock. The will of
ADAM MEEK, SR., on another page gives the names of his children,
including ADAM K. MEEX, his oldest son, who married ELIZABETH CHILDERS,
who was born in perhaps RUTHERFORD Co,in that part now comprising a part
of YANCEY COUNTY, near the town of HURNSVILLE.

in politics.

Continental Line of North Carokina during the revolution, which included
the grant of 25,000 acres for the heirs of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, and
among those to whom lands were "laid off" and granted were many
interesting and
historical personages, whose lands became a part of GLLES COUNTY when it
was established in 1810. Among the first grants issued to lands
afterwards in GILES COUNTY, an old list shows the following:
JOHN CHILDERS 300 acres.

Agnes Childrey: A Child of the Wrightsborough, GA Quaker Colony
Captured by Indians
thanks to Bruce Wood, who sent this excerpt to the Quaker-Roots mailing
list
The story of Agnes Childrey's capture by Indians,is reprinted from "Our
Ancestors the Stantons", by William Henry Stanton, privately published
in 1922 in Philadelphia.
"Stolen By the Indians"
"My great-grandmother, Agnes Childrey Hodgin, I think, was born in
Georgia. When a little girl of five years old, she, with her sister,who
was seven years of age, went in search of the cow. They did not return.
After a long search their parents gave them up for lost,thinking some
wild beast or the Indians had killed them. But the Indians had only
stolen them and carried them off to their camp. A council was held by
the Indians to consider what to do with the girls and the old chief
decided to adopt them as his own. The Indians took
good care of them, so far as Indian care goes, and kept them fifteen
years. The sisters knew they were not Indians and, as they grew older,
they became dissatisfied and longed for their own people, so they
planned to run away and try to find their family. For days the girls
wandered in the woods, living on berries and roots, until they came to a
white settlement. Here no one knew them nor did they know
any one. They did not even know their names, only the names the Indians
called them. The white people in the settlement took them in their homes
and did all they could to help them find their own people. The older
sister, a few days after they reached the settlement, died,no doubt from
exposure in the woods. Agnes finally found her relatives, but not until
after her mother's death. Agnes married William Hodgin and moved to
Ohio, where in 1811, he build the brick house in which I was born. Joel
and Rebecca (Hodgin) Doudna my
grandparents and Chalkley and Sarah (Doudna) Bundy my parents. I have
grandchildren now and am writing this so they may know and member a
little of history of one of their relatives.

Many of these cases were heard by the famous "hanging" Judge Isaac C.
Parker, appointed by President Grant to bring law and order to Indian
country,Judge Parker dealt with criminals like the Cooks,the Starrs, the

Thanks for your note. The name of William's son is William Marion,Sr. and
the name of my great grandfather is William Marion, Jr. I have both of their
Bible records and I also have visited the cemetery and seen the tomb
inscriptions of both. William Marion, Jr. died when my grandfather (James
Elbert Childress) was only 3 months old so of course he did not know his
father. Sincerely, Dorothy Hester White Harkins

NORTH CAROLINA MARRIAGE BONDS, 1741-1868
When planning to marry in eighteenth and nineteenth century North Carolina,
the
prospective groom took out a bond from the clerk of the court in the county
where the bride had her usual residence as surety that there was no legal
obstacle to the proposed marriage. On file in the North Carolina State
Archives are 170,000 marriage bonds, covering the years 1741-1868. These
records were abstracted by the Works Progress Administration. Most of the
bonds
contain the groom's name, bride's name, date of bond, bondsmen, and names of
witnesses. For those with ancestors in early North Carolina, this will be a
helpful database.

"THE CENSUS IN GREAT BRITAIN, PART 1: HOW IT BEGAN,"
by Sherry Irvine, CGRS, FSA (Scot)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
============================================================
Census returns are one of the most useful and informative of genealogical
record
sources. For each person in a household, they can contain details of name,
age,
occupation, and birthplace, and in all but the earliest censuses, relationship
to the head of the household is also included. Census information can lead to
earlier generations, solve particularly thorny problems, and paint a vivid
picture of a community.
To be clear about the subject of this article, two terms require definition.
Great Britain refers to England, Scotland, and Wales. It is not the same thing
as the United Kingdom (UK). That came into existence in 1801 when the
Parliament
in Dublin was done away with and Irish representatives were elected to the
House
of Commons at Westminster. The UK today is made up of England, Scotland,
Wales,
and Northern Ireland. We’ll be concerned only with the census in Great
Britain.
The census was a long time in coming. The first debates on the subject
occurred
during the 1750s, but the idea was controversial, and although the initiative
received enough support in the House of Commons, the House of Lords rejected
it.
Two arguments were strongly expressed--either the census would severely impair
individual freedom or it would give information about national weaknesses to
Britain's enemies.
The debate continued. Attempts were made to determine the population from
hearth
and window tax returns. Opinions were expressed as to whether the population
was
rising or falling and whether the nation was able to feed itself. The most
influential publication was the "Essay on the Principle of Population" by
Thomas
Malthus, which appeared in 1798. Malthus was among those urging that a
national
census be taken.
The public debate and a series of bad harvests in the 1790s helped to
influence
opinions, and the Census Bill passed successfully in 1800. The first census
was
taken in 1801, and others have occurred every ten years since, except 1941. In
the first census, and through three more to 1831, the person designated as the
local census taker in each English and Welsh parish was the overseer of the
poor; in each Scottish parish, it was the schoolmaster. These census takers
were
required to find out how many males and females were in the district, and to
obtain some information about classes of occupations.
For the government, there were two main objectives: to determine the
population
of Great Britain and to find out whether the population was rising or falling.
In 1801, church ministers were required to provide reports on the numbers of
marriages since 1754 and on baptisms and burials recorded in their registers
since 1700. Subsequent reports concerned the years since the last census.
The method of collecting information remained much the same through four
censuses. None of these was a list of all inhabitants at each address,
however,
some enthusiastic enumerators did list more than heads of household. Once the
statistical analysis was complete and the report made to Parliament, the
returns
were destroyed (although some fragments survive).
The format changed in 1841. Responsibility for the census moved to the General
Register Office, which had been set up in 1837 to collect the details of
births,
marriages, and deaths in England and Wales. The country was therefore already
divided into registration districts and sub-districts, and these were further
divided into enumeration districts, which contained twenty-five to two hundred
people. A system of civil registration was established in Scotland in 1855,
and
in 1860 responsibility for the Scottish census was transferred to this office.
It was a major undertaking to ensure that the census was recorded without
duplication, which meant conducting it in the shortest possible amount of
time.
The local enumerator left a census form at each household several days in
advance of census night. These were later collected, and the enumerator would
interview a member of the household when collecting the form if no one had
been
able to complete it. The process did not change much in the subsequent
returns.
The enumerator then copied the information on the forms into registers, which
eventually found their way to London for processing. It is these registers
that
have been filmed and made available for public viewing.
The instructions to enumerators were clear: no one who was present on census
night at a particular address could be left out of the tally, and no person
absent from home could be written in. Each person was to be enumerated in his
or
her location on census night. This is important because many people will not
show up in the list of the family at home on census night. Some reasons why
people were not enumerated at home include being away at work (e.g., sailors),
visiting nearby, caring for a sick relation, or traveling.
There were other exceptions as well. Those in charge of institutions made
lists
of their personnel or inmates, in some cases using initials only, in others,
surnames with first initial. The lists usually appear at the end of the
appropriate district. And finally, ships were listed according to where they
were in port on census night.
Each enumerator wrote a description of his or her district. This is important
information, often bypassed by genealogists. The account provides a detailed
description of the area and may include names of small farms and businesses.
The
information here can be used with a large-scale map to precisely locate the
home
of an ancestor. In some situations, this information is essential when sorting
out the boundaries of districts in towns and cities. Search problems occur
because it may not be realized that a long road can cross through two or more
districts, or that the census taker may go along a street, down side streets,
cross the road, or come back another way. Descriptions help sort this out.
Next time you consult a census, take time to consider how it came into being.
It
might help your research, but it should also leave you amazed at what those
early census takers accomplished.
Part 2, "Working with Census Returns," will appear in a future edition of the
"Ancestry Daily News."

Hi,
The middle name of your William is one I have seen mentioned, however I have
not not seen a source of proof for the middle name. I have records in my

I will search those files and possibly some of them will be of interest to

I just saw in the Childress Research 7/27/00 That William Childress born 15
Mar 1749 and wife Ann Burton had a number of children, 4 of them being named,
born 1773, 1775. 1778. and 1781. My ancestor William Marion Childress, Sr.
born 1785 was not named. Could this be the William Childress I am lookiing
for? D Harkins
I do not have place and date, but their son William Marion Childress, Sr. was
born 1785 in Charlotte Co. Virginia. I have truly hit the stone wall
regarding who William that married Nancy Burton, descended from. Thanks for
your note. D. Harkins
FYI.

Dear List,
Gary's posting of the Bill of Complaint in Robert Childress vs. Betsy Hynds suggested that it might require the insights of many to understand. It might be helpful to understand the nature of the proceeding. The American legal system is based upon English common law. Two competing sets of courts evolved in England. One was the courts of law, and the other the courts of equity. Courts of law were established by the King whereby he delegated authority to resolve private disputes under well defined rules that gave the judge little discretion to grant relief where one could not establish his or her right under the defined rules. Courts of equity were created to provide relief where the authority delegated to the law courts did not provide an adequate remedy. The courts of equity thus had greater flexibility, but could only act where one for typically technical reasons could not obtain satisfactory relief in a court of law. Most states in the United States h!
ave combined courts of law and equity into a single system of courts. Tennessee is an exception.
The Bill of Complaint in Robert Childress v. Betsy Hynds is a proceeding in equity. The circumstances are that John Childress has died intestate, which of course means that he did not leave a will. Where one dies intestate, most states, if not all, have enacted statues that govern how the deceased's property will be distributed. I infer from the Bill of Complaint that Tennessee's intestate statute would have given all of John's heirs an undivided interest in the 453 acre tract of land that he owned at the time of his death. That means by law you would have had a large number of individuals with joint title to the property which would have made it very difficult to use or sell. Thus some of John's heirs brought an action in a court of equity to have the property sold so that the proceeds of the sale could be distributed to the heirs rather than undivided interests in the land. To do so, those heirs had to make all of John's other heirs parties to the law suit !
as the court would not have been able to grant the relief request unless it had jurisdiction over all of the interested parties. Those heirs would have included John's wife, if he left one, all of his children who were living at the time of his death, and all of the descendants of any child who predeceased him. It would not have included any wife or child who predeceased him.

I am still seeking to confirm parentage for FLEMING CHILDRESS, b. @
1781; d. Nov. 28, 1845, Spencer Co. IN. bur. Richardson Cem. He married
twice (1) Nancy Pugh, Campbell Co. VA Nov. 29, 1803 and (2) Elizabeth
(Betsy)Boyd, b. @ 1788; d. Feb. 12, 1845, bur. also Richardson Cem.
Betsy was the daughter of Thomas Boyd Sr. Fleming and Betsy were
married Jan. 25, 1808. Nancy Pugh Childress died sometime before 1807
according to an estate settlement in Halifax Co.VA. I have not been able
to find a record for children from the first marriage and information
given in a biography of one of Fleming and Betsy's sons in a History of
Daviess Co. KY would indicate there were no children from Fleming's
first marriage.
According to census records and other tax and land records, Fleming and
Betsy Childress stayed in Halifax Co. VA until 1839 when they moved with
most of their family to Spencer Co. IN. There were several related
families who moved from VA to IN at the same time. At least two of their
sons had preceded them to Indiana. Their son, Thomas Jefferson Childress
stated that there were 9 children in the family: four sons and five
daughters. I have been able at this time to confirm 6 of the children: 3
sons and 3 daughters.
1. Margaret Childress married Robert Hall, Daviess Co. KY
2. Samuel B. Childress
3. Martha A. Childress, b. September 15, 1813, Halifax Co.VA; d. Jan. 30
1888 Daviess Co. KY. m. William S. Cossler,Spencer Co. IN July 15, 1845.
4. Thomas Jefferson Childress, b. Feb. 25, 1817, Halifax Co.VA; d. Jan
22, 1889 Daviess Co. KY. m. Hannah Arnold Dec.7, 1839 Spencer Co. IN
5. Mary (Polly) Childress, b. @ 1820 Halifax Co.VA; d. 1892 Halifax Co.
m. April 9, 1835 William H. Wilborn, Halifax Co.
6. James B. Childress, b. March 25, 1822 Halifax Co. VA; d. Nov. 11,
1886 Daviess Co. KY. m. Feb. 13, 1852, Daviess Co.
The above male names were recorded in the will and estate settlements of
both the children's grandfather, Thomas Boyd Sr. and the will of their
uncle, Thomas Boyd Jr.
The above children have been documented as children of Fleming and Betsy
Boyd Childress. I am still searching the rest of the 9 children. I would
appreciate any information that anyone might have on this family or any
ideas that anyone might have. The son, Thomas Jefferson Childress stated
that the family stayed in Halifax Co. during the marriage of Fleming &
Betsy until they moved to Spencer Co. This is documented through tax and
census records. He did state that he did receive some of his education
in NC as he went back and forth across the state lines to school. As the
homeplace of the Childress family was almost on the state line, that is
understandable.
I also thought I would submit this information to the Childress site as
incorrect family information has been submitted to the LDS on-line site
at sometime in the past. Marilyn Cossler Garrison
Dear Listmembers,
Dr. Jay Childress and a number of others on this list have acquired a wealth
of knowledge about the Childress migration into and out of Knox County, TN
over the years. Jay's own branch of the Childress line, has remained in
Knox County, TN for the past 200+ years and is an excellent source of
information.
In the past several months Mark and I have been discussing with Jay
Childress and some others on this list who monitor the activities of Knox
County,TN Childresses a court document which is a "Bill of Complaint"
action. It is a court proceeding that is effectively like a will, in that
the court proceeding attempts to resolve problems with the estate of the
recently deceased John Childress and his heirs. In doing so, the legal
action names heirs in a legalistic way (difficult to understand unless you
know the legal ramifications that the court is addressing) and sorts out
with more definition than previously existed the children of John Childress
Rev. War Vet. (b. 1759). I have pasted the "Bill of Complaint" below, and
while the text is short, it is not self evident at first reading that the
persons named in the text are the heirs of John Childress (b. 1759) until
you study that family in some detail for an extended period of time. One of
the problems is that clarifying the descendants of this particular John
Childress (b. 1759) doesn't precluded the further distribution of the
previously incomplete or erroneous listing of the descendants of John
Childress (b 1759).
I offer many thanks to active listmembers like Kay for posting what they
find, and special thanks to Dr. Jay and others for making sense of that
information, and helping us move towards accuracy. Below is the "Bill of
Complaint" that requires the insights of many to understand.

Childress of Anderson County & William Childress of Campbell County,
Ten[nessee] [plead] that about the 11th day of January1848 [sic] their
ancestor, John Childress, departed this life in Knox County intestate, and
at County Court of Knox County, your Orator Robert Childress & his son
Robert Childress were appointed administrators of said estate. Said
intestate was very little if any indebted at the time of his death. His
personal estate is more than sufficient to pay & satisfy his debts. Said
intestate died seized and possessed of a tract of land adjoining the lands
of John Connor, Robert Childress & Lindsay Childress of Knox County and is
estimated to contain 453 [acres] it being the same place on which said
intestate died.
Your Orators state that in addition to your Complainants said intestate left
the following named persons his heirs at law & distributees, to wit: Betsy
Hynds & her husband Byram Hynds of Marshall County, Ala[bama]; the heirs of
Lindsay Childress to wit: Phoebe Tindle & her husband James Tindle of ____
[sic - blank] County, Missouri State. Also Polly Childress who has since
intermarried with Thomas May, Nancy Childress since intermarried with James
DeArmond, Hugh L. Childress & Margaret Childress both minors have no
guardians. They reside in Knox County, Ten[nessee].
Also the heirs of Sally Cox, formerly Sally Childress, to wit: Jackson Cox
of Anderson County, Curd Cox of Knox County, John Cox of Claiborne County,
Robert Cox, Myra Petre & her husband William Petre of Knox County.
Also the heirs of Polly Hynds, formerly Polly Childress to wit: Lindsay
Childress Hynds of Marshall County, Ala., Benjamin J. Hynds, Lorrinda
Pharris & her husband Solomon Pharris, Ebenezer B. Hynds, William Singleton
Hynds, & Marjory Ann Hynds, all citizens of Texas.
Also James Childress of Pulaski County, Missouri.
Your Orators charge that said tract of land is not susceptible of a division
amongst said heirs [and] that to divide it would lessen its value & in fact
ruin the farm; that it is impossible to give spring water to ____ and your
Orators are perfectly satisfied that in order to [make] an equal division
among the several heirs it will be necessary to sell said tract of land and
your Orators believe that all of said heirs are desirous that said land may
be sold and the purchase money divided.
The premises considered. Your Orators pray that the foregoing named heirs at
law of their said intestate [ancestor] may be made Defendants to this Bill &
that guardians ad litem may be appointed as defendants for the minors and
they pray that on the final hearing of this cause that said land may be sold
and the proceeds of said sale may be divided and if in any thing your
Orators have mistaken their relief they pray for general relief according to
the facts in this case.
