I don't think this is the same William. My Childresses would have been near Jackson County, MS by the year 1920. I would appreciate learning more about where your Childresses were in SC and where they lived in GA, as I have been trying to gather records in those states. As for the James you mentioned born in AL, do you know which part of the state? My ancestors were pretty much located on the coastal area. My William Childress married a Mary Caroline WARD.
