The earliest Childrey I have ever encountered is in "Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, abstracted by Nell Nugent, Vol 3, 1695-1732, Patent book 9, page 81". A Tho. Childrey is listed as being transported to Virginia in 1703 for which the person transporting him was given some land i.e. "head rights". The Childrey name looks a lot like Childress when the Childress name is written in the colonial style using an "fs" instead of "ss" in the name. The "fs" looks like a "y". But if this confusion is the ultimate source of the Childrey name it's my guess the confusion occurred back in the British Isles. I have yet to encounter any cross over documents co-mingling the names Childrey/Childress in the research I have done to date. As far as I can tell the Childrey gene pool is a different gene pool than either the Childress or Childers gene pools.
