Shirl, Thank you for that rich info on your Childresses. I'm afraid, after making my copy, it got deleated, and I'm not able to put it on line word for word. ( also my scanner doesn't work at the moment) To sum up: Your g-g-grandparents were Nancy Lewis Herndon (dau. of Lewis Herndon who lived just outside Scottsville, VA) and Benjamin Franklin Childress who worked in Scottsville as a boat builder for a Mr. Tutwiler. Your line was from their dau., Mary Susan Childress, who mar. John Willis Minter Sr. and their oldest dau., Nannie Scruggs Minter, who mar. James Madison Johnson of Shores VA. Your good documentation is the Bible pages on file at the VA Library and her death shown in the Andrew Jackson Seay Daily Journal, written at Shores at Melrose. This last reference saying that he went to her funeral, etc. Her burial place was given as the home cemetery behind the Herndon Home near Scottsville. Now to continue with the generations: (written by my Grandmother, Nannie Elizabeth Childress, 1934) Charles M. Pace married Oct. 14, 1880, Nannie Elizabeth Childress. Charles M. Pace born Sept. 8, 1852. Nannie Elizabeth Childress born June 27, 1866. Children: Alberta, born Mar. 15, 1883, mar. Sept. 26, 1905, Hammon Hulver. (her first mar. - then, later, to Emmett Jackson, in GA) Edgar L. , born Nov. 22, 1884, mar. Oct. 3, 1934, Carrie Cowart. (GA) Oscar, born Sept 17, 1886. (died young) Russell H. , born Nov. 5, 1888, mar. Nov., 1997, Minnie Reagan. (GA) Annie Lula, born Mar. 19, 1890. (died young) Angie L., born Nov. 5, 1892. (never married) Harvey B., born May 2, 1896, mar. July, 1925, Berta Ford. (GA) (My parents .) Mary Nannie, born Mar. 31, 1899, mar. May 7, 1921, Joseph Wilbur McDonald. (GA) Kate Louise, born Sept. 22, 1901, mar. Oct. 28, 1922, Roscoe Jackson. (GA) These have all passed away. There is a photo of part of this family in Pace Pix. I may have more to add to this later. I need some help with my Pace line, going back through the father of Charles Moore Pace, James (Henry ? ) Lee Pace, to John of Middlesex. My Paces were in Fluvanna Co., VA. (I had a request to place the previous posting on the Bowles RootsWeb List, which I agreed to.) Kathy Pace Best.
