The goal of this project is to identify the relationships between autosomal DNA matches with the surname Childress, Childres, and Childers who lived in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and places beyond in the 1800s to the present day.

The inspiration for this project is the mysterious Mattie (Childres) Fisher Pike Adams (1858-1896), whose parentage, dates of birth and death are unknown. Mattie appears in 4 records in her lifetime: one for each of her three marriages and one census record.

DNA Testers

The following descendants of Mattie Childress provided access to their test results:

A Childress DNA match whose connection is currently unknown has also provided access to DNA. The relationship predictors indicate that this match could be a 2C, 2C1R, H2C, H2C1R or 3C among other possible relationships.
