Daniel Boone Childers was born in Wolfe County, Kentucky, on Holly Creek, a tributary of the Kentucky River, on the 11th day of July, 1873. In the spring of 1876 my father moved to Breathitt County, and I was reared on a farm near the Kentucky River. My father rented a farm from an old farmer by the name of Preston Sherfield. We lived on that farm only 2 years and after that my father purchased a boundary of land down in the lower edge of Breathitt County, Kentucky, on the Plumforks of Middle Creek, a tributary of the Kentucky River, and in 1878 we moved to the place. It wasn�t a farm. We moved right in the woods, a virgin forest of land, and a boundary of 3300 acres of white ash. There wasn�t hardly a stick amiss. A cousin of my father, by the name of William Maloney had went in there and built a small log cabin some years before and had cleared off around the house about one acre of land. After that he moved out of that section of the county to a more inhabited section of the county and the second growth of timber had grown clear above the top of the house. NOW...
