Childress in Spencer Co IN
Posted by: Mary Date: June 12, 1999 at 15:41:46
  of 2787

Looking for descendants of Thomas Boyd of Halifax Co. VA.  His will is
located in:
Will Book 11, page 536
Halifax Co. VA
dated 24 Nov 1819
probated 24 Jan 1820

I, Thomas Boyd.............
Thomas Boyd to take my wife Mabel and support her
Elijah Boyd gets 1/5
Thomas Boyd gets 1/5
Edy Slaydon gets 1/5
1/5 to the children of Elizabeth Childress, to get their share as they
become of age
!/5 to the children on Milly Riddle:  1/10 to children of Joseph Hill, dec'd
and 1/10 to the Riddle kids.
Witnesses:
Hardy Puckett
Isabel Dodson
Polly Wiles

I assume Mabel is his second wife as the will doesn't ask Thomas, the son,
to take his mother in.

Elizabeth married Fleming Childress--their daughter Mary/Polly married
William H Wilborn and lived in Halifax Co. VA.....several of the Childress
siblings moved to Spencer Co IN.

Deed Book 45, page 242
Halifax Co VA
.....I, Thomas Childress of Spencer Co IN ...appoint Fleming Childress of
Caswell Co NC my true and lawful attorney....to receive land from the
executors...of Thomas Boyd, decd, late of Halifax Co. VA all sums and demand
.....which was willed to me as one of the children and heirs of Elizabeth
Boyd (Betsy Boyd Childress-by MES).....dated 25 August 1838


Deed Book 50, page 59
Halifax Co VA
James B Childress of Spencer IN appoints Samuel B Childress his atty....his
part in estate of Thomas Boyd, late of Halifax Co. VA.   Benjamin Stanfield
was his guardian to hold his share of estate during his minority...

Edy Boyd married Daniel E Slaydon (Slayton) in Pittsylvania Co VA 11 Nov
1802

Milly married (1)  Joseph Hill; (2)  Barksdale Riddle

Would like to hear from any and all possible cousins.
Mary
