Childress/Childers/Hill
Looking for more information regarding my grandfather, John Edward Childers/Childress.He signed his name both ways at different times.Have information indicating he was born 14 May 1872 at Green Castle, Sullivan County, MO.I was given information from a probate record of Putnam Co., MO 1845 to 1909 that states he had a brother William B. born 1867, a brother Joel born 1869 and a sister Anna born 1869 I believe they are twins.C.C. Davis was appointed guardian and their mother was now wife of C.C. Davis.The children received their father's pension from Civil War.A family record I have says John's father died in 1872.
John married Emma Hill in Unionville, MO. in 1894.
John married Emma Hill in Unionville, MO. in 1894.I have no parents names for either John or Emma.John and Emma moved to Iola, KS, she died in 1904.They had a son named Virgil Victor who then lived with some of Emma's family in MO.Emma's tombstone was engraved with the last name Childress, and was engraved by my grandfather.
