    2. Hi Kerry, Nice to hear from you again. I will try and answer your questions. Garland Childress is son of Walter "Pete" Childress and Alice Jones, Louis Simpson Childress and Mary Belle Holston, Thomas M. Childress and Mary E. Carter, John Wesley Childress and Mary Hare, and Philip Childress and Mary Green, He does not know who the parents of Philip are. He is stuck there just like we are with William Benedict Childress. Benedict is the grandson of Jeremiah but we do not know whose his parents are. I think where you listed William Sr. you should have listed William Benedict. Benedict and Nancy Jane Burton are the parents of William Marion Childress Sr. who is the father of James Anderson Childress, and we are pretty sure that he is the father of Richard 1810, Thomas 1814, John??, Nancy Jane 1821, James Anderson 1823, Mary Ann1825,William Jr. 1827, and Sarah Elizabeth 1830. My line is Benedict, Wm. Sr., Wm.Jr. James Elbert, Mary Edna who married Shellie White and then me. I have a letter that Mary Hargrove wrote me in 1982 that helped me to understand James Andersons family a bit better. She was the granddaughter of James Anderson, and the great granddaughter of William St. She also lists the 7 children of James Anderson, and then she lists the 6 children of her mother who married Thomas Vaughn and she says that Mary or Mollie married Barney Davis which is your line. I don't think I knew the Princeton Fergusons, the ones I knew were in the Harmony church area out in the country. I remember a Buss and Dorothy Ferguson, and one of them had a son named Tom. I knew lots of Pruetts but it has been a long time so I am not sure. What I think would be a good idea would be for you and I to get together in the winter and compare our notes. We spend 7 months of the year in Fort Pierce, Fl. and the other 5 here in Richmond, Ky. I am not sure where your Florida home is but surely we can plan to meet sometime. We are in Fl. from first of Nov. until the first of June. Fort Pierce is on the East coast, about 100 miles from Miami. Sincerely, Dot
