There are at least three Childress lines here in the Atlanta area and many descendants. My Ggrandfather was Willaim Anderson Childress (1831-1909). We think W. A.' father was John V., but have found little on him. I am open for info exchange at 404-233-2794, goodwinhisstory(a)earthlink.net or 1106 Norwich Cir Atlanta 30324.

Hello,
My name is Justin Childress and I would like to urge Peggy Gilkey, if she is a direct descendant of William Childress b. 1785 in Charlotte County Virginia, to persuade a male in her family to take the DNA test. I am a researcher of the Childress Families living in Charlotte County Virginia. My oldest known ancestor, William R. Childress, was born there in 1805.
There are several unclaimed Childresses in Charlotte county in the late 1700s and early 1800s. If Ms. Gilkey could find someone to take the test, it would add another piece to the puzzle.

Hi Albert,
Thanks for posting. I have been in contact with the Comptons several times through the years and had the pleasure of meeting them once. I hope to get to a reunion one day.
I can't give more info on William at least not documented. I do think he was married to a Nancy Jane Wilkerson. I think her father may have been Franklin Wilkerson. I have found where they witnessed some wills together and the Franklin name runs through the male descendants. I believe he was born in Charlotte Co., Va. He may have married in Halifax Co., Va., (but I can't prove any of this.) He did fight in the War of 1812. (this I can prove)
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks, Peggy
