Wanda, These two books are such fun. Now, first, John B. wants you to know that it was all a misunderstanding - - - - both times.

Childers. He supposedly stabbed to death a man named Elijah Jerrell/Jarrell in Greene Co., Georgia, in summer of 1835(?). John was sentenced to hang but was pardoned by the Governor in Sept., just 4 days before he was to be hung. Thank you so much. Wanda

Thank you, Dee. Just made my day. Brings up more questions, as does all new info. John B. said in these records to be born in GA., where in 1850 & 1860 census both show him born in VA. Could you check wills or estate settlements for Georgia for any Childers, since I don't know name of John B.'s father? Anything appreciated.
