Sarah, I have some definite recent connection with my family and the Childress family of Augusta County and a possible earlier connection with the Chandler family, but I can't remember off the top of my head where the Chandler connection may have been. The Childress was married to my grandmother's sister. If you are interested in anything that recent, feel free to e-mail me. Perhaps we can put our heads together.

Heather, I'm researching Childress as well. My great-grandmother, Sallie Margaret Childress was born in 1871 in Augusta County. She was the daughter of Patrick H Childress and Martha F. She married Adam Leslie Drumheller in 1895 and died in 1925. Does this tie to any of your research?

Some of that time will be spent at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City!
