Childress Family Genealogy Forum
  
I wonder if there is any connection between your Mitchell Childresses and the one I am seeking information on. I am interested in the descendants of Mitchell Childress, dates unknown, who married Julia B. Tarpley on Aug. 12, 1835, in Wilson County, TN. Their son Joseph Harrison Childress is named in the 1842 will of his grandfather Sterling Tarpley, Sr., of Wilson Co. In 1859 when Sterling Tarpley's estate was being settled Mitchell and Julia Childress were living in Mississippi. In 1876 heirs of Julia Tarpley Childress,named as Albert Childress, Ambrosia Childress, Lewis Hurst, Julia L. Fee, J. H. Childress, Katie E. Childress, Charles D. Fee, and Theodore Childress, described as nonresidents, sued E. Beasley (probably Julia's sister Elizabeth Tarpley Beasley) in Wilson County Chancery Court.
