Anybody know anything about this Childress?
Franklin Marion Childress was born Abt. 1825 in GA and died 18 Jan 1888
in TX. He married (1) Sarah Alameda. He married (2) Mary A. Echols
1849, daughter of Samuel Echols and Sally Booker. She was born 02 Dec
1825 in Ft. Payne, AL, and died 18 Jan 1890 in Fort Payne, DeKalb
County, AL.
Notes for Franklin 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.

"Married within the year" is checked. (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). Since Sara
Alameda Childress, who was probably named after her mother, was 3 1/2 in
1860, she must have been born about 1856, when the family was in GA,
then she must have died between 1856 and 1860. 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,
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.

Subject: [Childress-L] salient points of the Childress-Childers DNA
project
September 11, 2004.
37 people have completed their Y-chromosome test. 2 new people have
tests pending.
There is a current promotion by the Childress-Childers DNA Project,
offering FREE 12 marker DNA tests to any Childress-Childers family
living in St. Louis, MO. (more below)
The following is how I would summarize the salient points of the
Childress-Childers DNA project.
There are 11 Unrelated-by-DNA Childress-Childers families.
Of the 37 completed tests, 24 persons belong to one DNA related family,
labeled as "Viking" Childress-Childers. This "Viking" DNA group is
largest in number perhaps because they were the first to migrate to
North America circa 1650 and their numbers expanded faster in bountiful
America than did other lineages in the impoverished British Isles. The
"Viking" label was chosen by the project managers (Gary and Mark) to
emphasize the fact that this DNA pool is not indigenous to Britain. This
Viking Childress-Childers DNA is mostly found in Continental Northern
Europe and is likely to be part of the Continental Northern European
invasion of Britain by either Norse or Danish Vikings or by Germanic
Saxons. This DNA pool is called Haplogroup letter "I". Prior to
migrating to Northern Europe and during the height of the last ice age
10,000 years ago, this DNA haplogroup lived in and around Turkey. After
the last ice age this haplogroup migrated from the Eastern Mediterranean
into Continental Northern Europe, principally Germany and Scandinavia.
Subsequent invasions of Britain brought limited amounts of this DNA to
the British Isles. But this DNA is a foreign intrusion into "Celtic"
DNA already in Britain. When surnames were acquired perhaps 800 years
ago, the Childress-Childers British surname was adopted by one or more
families in this haplogroup that was then living in the British Isles.
There is a case to be made that this Viking group can be subdivided into
an Abraham lineage (born circa 1630) and a Philemon lineage (born circa
1630) because of a mutation at DNA site "CDY-b". Abraham descendants
appear to have a value of "38" at CDY-b and Philemon descendants appear
to have a value of "37" at CDY-b. Of the 24 persons included in the
Viking DNA group, 16 spell their name a "Childress". Of the 8 testing
"Childers" in the Viking group, 4 "Childers" appear to link to the
Philemon lineage (born circa 1630), one "Childers" appears to link to
Abraham and 3 yet to be determined. All genealogical paper research is
done by the testing parties and its accuracy has not been verified.
DNA site CDY-b can be examined on Family Tree DNA's 37 marker
Y-chromosome test. Mark and Gary, Project Managers, would like to see
the following "Viking" group people, who took the 25 marker test,
upgrade to the 37 maker test so that they could be classified as
descendants of Abraham (b. 1630) or Philemon (b. 1630):
Bradd M. Childress,
Steve Childress,
Bruce C. Childress,
Indiana Jack Childers,
Robert E Childers,
Larry Wayne Childress,
Maurice A. Childears
Of the 10 remaining DNA Childress families not related to the above
Viking group and not related to each other, the Sarah Childress Polk
related families seems the next group most capable of combining DNA with
paper researched records to better understand their lineage. This
lineage appears to be a "Celtic" DNA Haplogroup called "R1b" indigenous
to the British Isles. This DNA Haplogroup survived the last ice age by
living in the Western Mediterranean around Spain. The Sarah Childress
Polk related families left evidence of immigrating to North America in
1745, nearly 100 hundred years after the Viking Childress-Childers
family. Some living descendants of this Sarah Childress Polk related
lineage were identified as living in St. Louis MO about 40 years ago.
Mark Childress is offering FREE DNA tests (12 markers) to any
Childress-Childers family whose family lived in St. Louis, MO circa
1960. The DNA Project would appreciate anybody who can identify a
contact address for any modern Childress-Childers families currently
living in St. Louis, MO today.
Lastly, there is one Haplogroup of "Jewish" DNA called Haplogroup "J2".
There are two unrelated Childress-Childers families that have this "J2"
DNA. The Roman occupation of Britain brought this "J2" DNA Haplogroup
to the British Isles as Roman slaves.

Gary Childress
