Childress Family Genealogy Forum
  
Abstracts of the Wilson Co., TN, Chancery Court records show a bill of complaint dated 31 March 1876 with plaintiffs Albert Childress, Ambrosia Childress, Lewis Hurst, Julia L. Fee, J. H. Childress, Katie E. Childress, Charles D. Fee, and Theodore Childress, all nonresidents of TN, vs. E. Beasley, the issue being a tract of land bequeathed to Julia Childress by her father Sterling Tarpley. The complete record is held privately, and I am unable to locate it. I am seeking to know the exact relationship of each of the above plaintiffs to Julia Tarpley, wife of Mitchell Childress. Joseph Harrison Childress is mentioned in the 1842 will of his grandfather Sterling Tarpley as being Julia and Mitchell's son. Julia and Mitchell were married in Wilson Co., TN, on August 12, 1835. Court records related to the settlement of Sterling Tarpleys estate show that in Dec. of 1859 this family was living in Mississippi. I am unable to find a family that matches this one in census records. Any help appreciated.
