Just a comment--"I overlooked an orchid..." was a really terrific analogy. "What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet;" -- William Shakespeare.

> I have been trying to determine the parents of my ancestress, Eliza Childress who married Willis Center and walked from GA to Warren/Simpson/Allen County KY. Eliza died sometime after 1840 and Willis married Rebecca Spann in Allen County KY before 1850.
>
>
>
> The only evidence I have of Eliza's name is from a bio of her great-nephew William A. Brown of Simpson Co KY who states his grandmother was Nancy Terrell Childress, wife of Alsey Brown. The information states Nancy was b. SC, walked to KY from GA, and her sister was married to Willis Center. Alsy Brown and many of his descendants are buried at Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church in Allen County KY near the Monroe Co KY and Macon Co TN line.

> In that same bio is mention of Bartholomew Childress, their brother, who migrated to AL and served as sheriff in his county of residence.
>
>
> No researcher I have found has included Nancy or Eliza as a sister to Bartholomew. One researcher stated there was a will of a William Childress who listed Bartholomew as a son, but I have been unsuccessful in finding that document and determining whether it was filed in SC or GA.
