Dot, sorry I have been so long responding. Things are back to normal. Based on your last note, you mentioned you were meeting with Garland Childress. I heard his name from my family. Who was his father and grandfather? I have several newspaper articles from my grandmother's scrapbook on the CHILDRESS. Here is how I descend. William Sr. CHILDRESS William Childress James Anderson CHildress m. Elizabeth P. Carney Mary Jane CHildress m. Barney Davis Ellie Davis m. Gross Ferguson Margaret Ferguson m. John McGurk Kerry McGurk m. Tom Howard Since you are from Caldwell Co. I am sure you know many people. Tom Pruett, a cousin. Any of the Ferguson;s? My Uncle Jack and Bertha Davis lived in town. Both gone now. I use to go back once a year. My grandparents had a farm in Fredonia, both born in Princeton, my mother also. I would be happy to send you info, not sure how to do that with the family tree program but I could type or send thru the mail. Let me know. I would like a group sheet in James E. Childress, WIlliam, WIlliam Sr. and what you have ascending. I ownly have what Mary Ann had sent me, but i did not believe it was correct because I ran across her material in The Caldwell COunty History book and info was contradictory. A side note. I live in Brighton, MI near Ann Arbor 6 mos. and Bonita Springs, FL 6 mos. Kerry
