I am looking for information on Robert Childress, my great great grandfather and his family. I have quite a bit of info on the Boyd family, but am unable to trace Robert Childress. Their son, William Mart Childress, was my great grandfather. 1. ROBERT CHILDRESS was born in Carroll County, VA. He married MASSEY H BOYD Abt. 1851, daughter of JOSEPH BOYD and SARAH MANKINS. Notes for MASSEY H BOYD: At the time of the 1850 Census for Patrick Co., VA, Massey was 20 years old. Children of ROBERT CHILDRESS and MASSEY BOYD are: i. JULIANA CHILDRESS, b. Abt. 1852. ii. POSEY CHILDRESS, b. Abt. 1854. iii. EDWARD CHILDRESS, b. Abt. 1856. iv. CONSTANTINE CHILDRESS, b. Abt. 1857; m. JENNY BELTON, 29 December 1875, Surry County, NC. v. FAITHY ANN CHILDRESS, b. Abt. 1860; m. W A BELTON, 28 September 1876, Mount Airy, Surry Co., NC. vi. ROBERT "BOBBY" CHILDRESS, JR, b. Abt. 1864; m. DELPHIA DAWSON, 04 September 1885. vii. WILLIAM MART (BILLY) CHILDRESS, b. 1866, Carroll County, VA; d. 06 June 1927, Mount Airy, Surry County, NC; m. LORENA DAWSON, 21 July 1888 Notes for LORENA DAWSON: The Randolph County 1870 census has her listed as "Sarena" and 3 months old.
