I have a history book on my CHILDRESS family (very incomplete). There were 55 families from Shelby County, Tenn. that went to Shelby County, Texas with my George C. CHILDRESS. Here is what I have: Daniel HOPKINS, the PAXTONS, TRUITTS, OLIVERS, SAPPS,BOGARDS, STILLWELLS, ROBERTSONS & others. If these are your surnames check the Shelby County Texas web page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txshelby/ Frances
