I canceled my peoplepc account today because of lock ups and poor service for me. I will remain with my AOL address of Chiclem1(a)AO.com. Sorry for the change but it was more agrivation than the service was worth. please stay on the ISP you have as this is unreliable. I did uninstall the program as recomended and reinstalled it from a disk by them. It is no better than it was. I can not recomend this at this time. I will however be connected util the 29th as they have billed my account and do not give refunds. Beware of this.

Thank You "Childress List" for all the wonderful e-mail concerning George Campbell Childress except for one self centered RUDE person who thinks the "list" is his personal e-mail. (computers have delete keys - so if you don't want to read something all you have to do is hit it.)
Your e-mails helped me place George C Childress to the right family. I am new at researching the Childress name. Thanks again

Thanks for sending that information. I really enjoyed reading it. When I read the mag - Texas Highways I remembered the statue.
I found that George and Margaret Vance had a son born in march 1845 and his wife died some time after that. The County of Childress Tx was named in honor of George Childress.

Hello Frances (in Texas),
Q: You asked if anyone on this list descends from George Campbell
Childress.
A: To my knowledge as one of the co-listowners, we have no direct
descendants of George Campbell Childress on the List. But subscriber
Samuel Hall Childress is a descendant of George C. Childresss father
(Judge John Childress m. Robertson) through the Judges son Elijah
Robertson Childress. Samuel Hall Childress took part in the
Childress-Childers DNA Project and from his DNA results is classified as
DNA Viking Childress. The Viking Childress classification would
therefore also apply to distant cousin George Campbell Childress.
You mentioned how the death of George Campbell Childress was a tragedy
of his own.
For those who are unfamiliar with the death of George Campbell
Childress, an account may be found in William Curry Harlee, Kinfolks, A
Genealogical and Biographical Record of [enumerated families], Vol. 3
(New Orleans, LA: 1937), 3: 2615 et. Seq.
George Campbell Childress committed suicide by Bowie knife on 6 Oct
1841. Attending physician Dr. Ashbel Smith wrote (7 Oct 1841,
Galveston, Texas) to Dr. T. R. Jennings (Nashville, Tennessee) an
account which is here quoted:
Sir,
A painful duty has been imposed on me. I have just returned from the
burial of your brother-in-law Col. Geo. C. Childress.
On arrival in town yesterday morning after an absence of a fortnight in
the interior I was told that Col. Childress had committed violence on
his own life and was then supposed to be dying. I went forthwith to see
him. His intestines had protruded through two severe wounds of the
abdomen . . . To my inquiry of what is the meaning of this He replied
it is the effect of an oversensitive mind and shortly after added,
I had neither money to bring my wife to this country or to enable me to
visit her. He told me that he had written some letters inclosed (sic)
in an envelope to me which he wished me to take copies of and forward
the originals agreeably to their address respectively. He wished me to
learn by correspondence whether is letters came to hand and in case of
any miscarriage to send copies of the copies in my possession. His
letters are written to yourself, to Judge Catron, and to Mr. Morgan of
Philadelphia. He had not written to Mrs. Childress, he could not, he
wished you to break the intelligence to her. He [G.C. Childress] was
when I arrived in full possession of his understanding - & of his
senses. He expressed no regret for what he had done, nor any desire to
live; nor fear of death, but a wish to be saved the pangs of dying. He
conversed with much calmness. He requested me to send for his clothes
but to the inquiry of Mr. Pizer [?] whether he had any request to make
concerning his lands &c, he replied, none. A short time before he
expired he wished to be baptized. But there being no clergyman in town
it was not done. A religious gentleman prayed by his bedside, he added
amen and died a half hour afterwards without much suffering, about
three hours after stabbing himself . . . He was buried with respect the
following morning 26 hours after his death, at 11 oclock A.M.
You may perhaps recollect a person introduced to you some time last
winter in Nashville by Col. Childress. The writer is that person and
Very resp. etc. Ashbel Smith
Judge John Catron replied to Dr. Ashbel Smith by letter (Nashville, Nov
20th 1841),
My Dr. Sir.,
Accept my thanks and gratitude for your very kind letter of Octr 7th
enclosing that of Col. Childress. . . . The melancholy tidings they
communicate, inflict on Mrs. Childress and on the sisters of Col.
C[hildress] most melancholy and severe suffering. The suicide to them
[is] so unaccountable: yet, to us who knew Mr. C. best, it was not so
surprising on reflection, after the first shock has passed off. He had
been subject to fits of melancholy since boyhood, that ran into madness
in which he was so violent, & reckless, in a high degree in regard to
others; and when his feelings of desolation turned on himself, the
consequences that did ensue, should have been anticipated, . . . . Most
Sincerely Your frd & obt Servt J. Catron
George Campbell Childress married first, Margaret Vance. No issue. He
married secondly, Miss __ Jennings, a sister of the prominent physician,
Dr. Thomas R. Jennings of Nashville, Tennesse and a sister of the wife
of Governor Henry Alexander Wise of Virginia. There were 2 children by
this second marriage: Annie Childress born about 1837, and Ellen
Childress, born about 1839. Annie Childress married __ Daw of New York
and had one child, Annie Daw. Ellen Childress married __ Crute of
Arkansas and had one child, Ellen Crute. [Harlee, at 2611]

Hello
Is anyone on the list kin to George Campbell Childress born Jan 8, 1804?
His parents were John Campbell Childress and Elizabeth Robertson.
I was just curious. Texas independence was March 2 and Texas Highways
magazine had an article on it. George C Childress was the chairman of
the committee who wrote the declaration of independence for Texas.
Several year ago I took my grandchildren to Washington on the Brazos to
help them with their Texas History. I saw the statue of George C
Childress, but at the time I was not doing research on my Childress.
Now I need to go back there and see it again.
His death was a tragedy of his own doing. His uncle was Sterling C
Robertson
Just wondered if anyone on the list has him in their family history?

There are two scrolling controls for up and down and two scrolling
controls for sideways..its like a window inside a window.a picture
inside a picture. There are two vertical and two horizontal controls.
Which ever one you are using... is the wrong one.

Gary,
I too am having trouble with the spreadsheet,but my problem is the map
that is under the results is taking up the space where I can't scroll
down and see all the list. Then, is there any way I can get a copy of
the certificate that was sent to my brother Edward. Thank you for your
time.

It sounds like you are very close. You have made it to the FTDNA web
page OK. I click on the Y Result button and wait about 10-15 seconds
and a portion of the spreadsheet appears and you can scroll around the
spreadsheet since it is too large to display all of it at once.
Go to the Family Tree DNA web site at www.FTDNA.com.
Click on the "Surname Projects"
Then scroll down the page until you can find "C" Surnames under "Y-DNA
SURNAME PROJECTS"
Click on "C"
Then scroll down to find the "Childress" entry and Click on "Childress"
That will take you to the Childress start page
Click on the "Website" hyperlink and that will take you to the
Spreadsheet, though it takes a while to load...I've got a very fast
computer on broadband and maybe it takes longer for other
computers....give it a while, a minute or two, and see if it loads.

I have tried everything and all I can bring up is the Childress-Childers
DNA
Project
With Background Button and Y result Button.
I have tried both and all I get is the heading for test results and
nothing
else. I will wait for a new one to come out.
