The R.H. Childress you have after David D. (Dillard) Childress should be a
"P", he was Patrick Henry Childress. David, Patrick and William were three
brothers who served together in the Civil War. David is my great
grandfather.
Thank you.

Steve Stevens

I've forgotten how to post..its been so long.
I'm getting very close to posting all the writings and unpublished research
of my late brother Mark, the previous joint listowner with me . This will
be the year to clear the decks in some orderly data dump of Mark's prolific
research. Got some previously published original family bibles to put on
Ebay, hoping they will find a sentimental home with their "Viking
Childress" kinfolk.
