What part of the country was the home of your mother?
Many people died back then of the fever.
My aunt and 2 children died in Okla. in 1908, Uncle in west Texas in 1924,
and my dads first wife died in Ark. in 1906, alsoI have a great uncle
----Monroe, Uncles Silas, B. 1858, Robert b. 1856, Thomas J. b. 1860, on whom
I can not find any information. Most lived in Ark. at one time.
Bonnie
Elisha Childress was from Tennessee. Solomon B. b. 1830 Montgomery Co.
Indiana. James Perry b. 1852 in Meadville Indiana. Charles Nelson, my
grandfather, b. 1881 on Parsons Creek, Linn Co. Missouri. My Mom Mary
Louellen was born in 1909 in Cogar, Oklahoma where her dad died at the age
of 28. Follow these backwards in the genealogical order of decent.
This is as far as I have tried to go. I don't have the patience to search
when I don't know what I am really searching for.
I don't have any of the names you mentioned though.

Dear Betty Faye,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have dutifully changed the subject in this email.
I have a friend named Mrs. Peary Harmon. Her husband is originally from Nebraska and now lives in Boulder CO. As to the Childress family, I have done extensive research and am listed in Ancestry.com with my ancestry. Check Roberta Louise Childers.
Sincerely,
Roberta

Subject: Re: [Childress Research] Subject line TITLES,formerly BallardArron Childers
PLEASE... if you are NOT answering the Subject of the email and
changing the subject of YOUR email, PLEASE change the Subject line
TITLE!
It would have been clearer to put the subject as"Ed LeBlanc from New
York" since this has nothing to do with Ballard Arron Childers...and
would keep the person who sent the original email from getting their
hopes up!
Just because her last name is one you are researching doesn't mean it
had anything to do with the original email.
Be aware that a lot of folks delete email on the Subject line title
alone.So some LeBlanc researcher seeing the Subject as "Ballard Arron
CHILDERS" might delete it without even looking at the
message...Everyone in genealogy probably get lots of email and some
rely on the Subject line to keep or delete them to reduce time spent
reading email with no relation to their genealogy pursuits..
We all need to pay attention to this as a genealogical courtesy.
Thank you,

Bonnie, My mother came from Denver, CO. She married my father, Robert Childers who was born in Boulder CO in 1911. He had three brothers: Sheldon, Eugene and Paul. And three sisters: Crete Dever, Helen Bowie and Ruth Foster. All have passed on. I have tried to figure out Childers' family traits: big bones, big feet (mine are size 12), tendency to obesity, blond hair, glasses. Also very strong bodies.

My husband has traced the family way way back, but do not believe there is an
Ed.
My maiden name was Childress, but the spelling went back and forth.
Luck to you,
Bonnie
Trying to trace my distant cousin Ballard Arron Childers, b. in the early
1940's, most likely in New york State. Then after the war maybe moved to Okla.
Had a sister named Betty.
Do not know mother's name, but Father was Ballard Arron Childers.
His parents divorced, Ballard married again, but none of the family knows the
location of Ballad Jr., and Betty.
Thanks,
Bonnie LeBlanc

Forgive the intrusion of a TOTALLY frustrated Childers researcher, but I
think that you should be aware the Childers from Polk County, NC (about 1850)
came from neither chicken nor egg. The best explanation I have is that they
were dropped off of the first space ship that visited earth. I am also
researching the Pack family of Polk County that apparently arrived with them!
Regards,
Patricia

Yet it all comes down to the question of are our lifes predetermined
from the begining or do we make the choices that determines our destiny?
Sorta' like the question of which came first the chicken or the egg, wouldn't
you say.

Dear Gary,
I don't think there were to be any future descendants of the people who died because that was not in the cards.

Subject: Re: [Childress Research] Samuel Childress murdered
Indiana Jack,
I don't know if Samuel Childress had any children or would have had more
children if events had be otherwise....but when I read a story of a
premature death of a Childress I wonder how many direct descendants were
never born and who would sue, if they could, the Huddleston, alias
Alexander, surnamed person who killed their chance to live.
The Civil War graves in particular seem like an eerie roll call, a reminder
of what might have been, of the unborn descendants who can never come
looking for their ancestors because they were never born.

Subject: [Childress Research] Samuel Childress murdered
Been a while since I kicked any thing in figured it was time. indiana jack
Taken from The Clay County Courier Newspaper, published in Corning
Arkansas.
May 16, 1902
Detective Murdered; Samuel Childress, of Yell County, (Arkansas) was found
dead near Aplin, having been assassinated, the murderer using a shot gun.
James A. Huddleston, alias Alexander, is charged with the crime. Childress
was regarded as a sort of secret detective. Not long ago he made a trip to
Texas and shortly after his return a merchant of Casa named Alexander was
arrested on the charge of counterfeiting money in Texas some twelve years
ago. It developed that Alexander's real name was Huddleston, and that he
escaped from the Paris, Texas jail the night before a verdict sentencing him
to ten years in the penitentiary was delivered to the court. Nothing was
heard of him untill the occurence mentioned above. The evidence against him
leading to his discovery was worked up and furinshed to the Texas
authorities by Childress. Huddeleston was taken back to Paris and it is
reported to have been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary, but was
released about three weeks ago. He immediately returned to Casa and
instituted a suit for libel against Childress. On the day of the killing it
is alleged Huddleston secured a shot gun and went hunting in the direction
where the dead man was found.
