Hi Sharon,
Speaking of the spelling of the name? Well, a group of us got together and worked on the earliest we could find who lived and died in the the USA, that would have been - ABRAH or ABRAHAM CHILDRES - - That's ONE S. We have an original copy of the deed out of Henrico Co, VA.
When Steve Stevens decided to open a website for Childress, Childers and variants, he decided on CHILDRES - because of the earliest record we've found. The date of the deed was clearly spelt as CHILDRES in 1856.
CHILDRES TIME LINE -
