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.
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.
