Hello Wilkie and Shirly: This is Linda Gray Trujillo. My first husband, is Carroll Childers from the Greeveille Childers line. I had one daughter by him. I don't have a lot on the Childers. What I do have is from the Easterling book at Clayton Library. He is decended from Greenville and Elizabeth's child George Smith Childers who married Lucinda Easterling. Their fourth child was Ralph Meece Childers married to Mildred Cornet. Their first child was Carroll but was given up for adoption to his brother Carroll Jackson Childers and wife Ruby. Wish I could help more but I have not done a lot of work on this line. Linda __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

You go quiet for weeks and weeks and then unexpectedly you show up again. We need you to hang in there with us Fordyce people. There are so very few of us. Is this Easterling Book at Clayton one on the Bradley & Dallas county folks??? I bought flowers from an Easterling (before marriage) who lived in Warren but was from the Fordyce Easterling family. She died of cancer. Nice lady. Thanks, Wilkie

Linda - What Kennedy line do you have? My Kennedy line ties in with the Shelton family from the White Oak / Staves / Y area.

Greenville and Elizabeth married in Perry County, Alabama, and appear on the 1840 Census of Perry County, Alabama with one child. In the 1850 Census, they are in Cherokee County, Alabama.

http://rfci.net/wdfloyd/BethelP.html BETHEL PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY Clover, York County, SC By W. D. Floyd To get to this cemetery from Clover, SC go east on Highway SC 55 for about 2.5 miles to the intersection with Highway SC 557. Turn north, left, and go 2.1 miles and the cemetery will be on your right. I started this survey February 26, 1998 and I started in the northeast corner of the cemetery. This is a large cemetery and the church was organized in 1764. There will be some errors in this survey. The markers are just too old and some are in really bad shape and next to impossible to read. Also there is lots of strange names and different spellings of the same name. There are many graves that are unmarked in any way. There are many, many old ancestors buried in this cemetery.

Wilkie, Cuz... Actually, my sister-in-law, Peggy Childers Norman, is Lynda's cousin. And, my husband may also be a cousin to them. We just haven't found that missing link! My husband's grandmother was a Childers. Would you send me your oldest known Wilkinson's name, date of birth, place of birth, and wife and children if you have them? Thanks Shirley

Janet, There were some Bridges in Lincoln Co. that may have been part of yours. Check into it. Diann

Thanks Cuz! If you have more Childers data, please post it and I will check our Childers information to see if yours fits with Art's. I have found more on my Wilkerson/Wilkinson bunch and if I can find one more link, I think they are all the same bunch who came together again a few generations later. Have a great day! Shirley

Last Oct (1999), Winona and I went to Linda Childers Suffridge's family reunion at Canaday Cemetery in Cleveland County. Do you know Linda Suffridge??? She is pres of AGS. She graduated from HS in Fordyce. Maybe about your age. She lived with the Kauffmans, Sheriff Henderson Kauffman married to a Burford from that Canaday Cemetery area. I don't know who my Childers are. Wilkie

Wilkie, Dear Cuz! I did not know you have Childers, also. My husband and my sister-in-law have Childers. Peggy is the daughter of Claude and Mary Strong Childers. They lived in Cleveland County and most of the family is buried in the Kennedy Cemetery, Cleveland County. Peggy's line is of this same Greenville Childers line. My husband's Childers was John Childers who became John Childress after moving from GA to TX. He was married to Anna Jordan. John Childers' father was William J. Childers, born 1804, SC. It is good to see you back! Shirley

Posted on: Cleveland Co. Ar Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Cleveland?read=37 Surname: Parker, Parnell, Bethea ------------------------- Sharon - Very pleased to receive your response to my query regarding William H. Parker. I had assumed that he and wife Harriet Ann Parnell were buried in Shady Grove Cemetery near New Edinburg. However, I can't find either name in the cemetery listing. There is a listing for a Elder W. H. Parker but the date of birth is Nov 18, 1867 and my William H. Parker was born in September 1851, according to census data. And there is nothing on the listing for either Harriet Parnell or Harriet Parker. Perhaps they are buried in unmarked graves. // I had noticed your John H. Parker and James W. Parker. Given the latter's pob, I thought he and my William H. might be related. But I haven't be able to make the connection either. Will follow-up on the 1850 census per your suggestion and will forward anything interesting I find. // Would be delighted to exchange information with John Hamilton Parker's grandaughter. Does she have email? If not, if you would email me her address, I will write to her. I stayed in the home of her grandfather when I was about 10 when my mother went to see her "Uncle Johnnie." Or if she would rather write to me, my address is Richard L. Bush, One Bayview Ave., #2, Los Gatos, CA. // Since you live in the Parnell Springs Community, do you know which cemetery is called the Parnell Cemetery. I can't find one under that name but that is where Harriet Ann Parnell's mother Sarah is buried. I am also trying to find out when Harriet Ann's father, Benjamin M. Parnelll, died. // Look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks! Richard

Posted on: Cleveland Co. Ar Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Cleveland?read=36 Surname: Parker, Harrelson ------------------------- I have some info to add on your Parker's. My gg-grandfather was John Haywood Parker which was born around the same time as your John Hamilton Parker. They always got their mail mixed up so my grandmother tells me. I am trying to connect the two but have not been able to. I do know that William H. & Harriet Parker are buried in Shady Grove Cemetery near New Edinburg, AR the same cemetery my Parker's are buried. I live in Parnell Springs Community on the Bradley and Cleveland Co.line just 2 or 3 miles from Shady Grove Cemetery. I was told by two of John Hamilton's daughter's that he always said he was the only boy just like his father William H. Parker. I haven't looked at my papers in a while but I thought I had found on the 1850 census for Bradley Co. a William and one or two sisters in the household of a John & Elizabeth Parker. This John born in Kentucky and the William born in Mississippi.My John Haywood Parker's father was James Washington Parker and on census' he is down as being born in MS and his father KY. So I think there is a connection.It is just proving it. I work with the granddaughter of John Hamilton Parker and she said she would love to get the information on your side of the family. Let me here from you. Thanks.

Hello, I have a little info that you probally already have. My mother was a Moseley from Bradley county. I am distantly related to the Parnells through the Moseley's. Here is what Ihave. Harriett Ann parnell born 14 June 1853 died November 1885. Married William H. Parker a minister of the Gospel on 18 Dec. 1872. Their children: Kate Parker married J. H. Spraggins on 10 February 1889; Ludie Parker born 2 June 1877 died 7 Jan 1933 Married Sam Atkins on 6 Jan 1903 born 10 Feb 1877 died 25 August 1950; Ollie Parker married Bob bethea; John H. Parker married Cora Hodges on 27 november 1901. This is really all about what have. You might post this on the Bradley county web sight because one lady on that sight is a Parnell and may have info that you need. I am trying to reseach the Ray side of my family. My great-grandmother Ross (Ray) Moseley-well, her death certificate lists her mother as Sara Parker from Cleveland County. The 1880 census shows that her parents came from Mississippi. Also my grandparents, Rufus Howard Moseley and Altha Johnson Moseley were married by a FM Parker. Also, my great-grandmother Ross Ray Moseley's brother Wiley Ray was murdered by a Frank Parker in Cleveland County in 1925 (Well Frank was accused, I don't know the outcome of that). Hope that some of this helps. Sincerely, Jonathan Bradford Hope, Arkansas p.s. One correction My Ross Ray Moseley's father was from Georgia -her mom's (mom) was a Parker and THEY came from Mississippi. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard L.
