I cleaned up these profiles as much as I could. I have no documentation showing Lucy White as Mitchell's wife [only Lucy Childress in the 1850 Census and Mitchell's will]. I also have no documentation on David's wife [only "Amy" listed in David's will]. If you see other changes that need to be made. Let me know. Terry

This Mitchell Childress profile [managed by me] and the Mitchell Childress profile [Childress-1490] managed by LA Childress [see below] are similar, but there are discrepancies in parents and siblings.

This Mitchell Childress was not intended to be either of the two listed in the 2 Feb 2019 comment below. He was intended to be the Mitchell as described in the 25 Aug 2018 comment.

But isn't he the son of James and Nancy listed below? You show them as parents above.
Hi, I am a direct descendant of Mitchell Childress and Nancy Vann/Vaughn. I descend through their son Levi Childress. I would like to talk to the manager of his profile. I have been searching for this line for a long time. I may have info on Nancy that you may be interested in. Thank you, Renee Hallman Marsh.

There are two different Mitchell Childress that are easily confused - Mitchell Childress the son of Nancy Jones and James E Childress, husband of Lucy; and the other Mitchell Childress the son of Sarah Mitchell and David Jr Childress, husband of Nancy Vann.

Mitchell was executioner of at least two significant wills: Samuel Harmon [1781-1844] and Meredith Childress [brother]. Both wills have family heirs listed that validate some of the genealogy of this line.
