On the 1850 Cobb County, Georgia, Federal Census, 115-12th district:

Martin Childers 1792 SC

Elizabeth Childers 1798 SC (In my research this becomes a problem, as I show her born about 1789.)

F Eliza 1830 G

M Martin 1832 GA

F Aurella 1834 GA

M Emsley 1836 GA

M Lewis 1838 GA

These same people were listed in same district not living with Martin Childers:

M Benjamin L. Childers 1825 SC

F E.C. 1834 SC

M James Childers 1823 SC

From this census information it would indicate the Martin and Elizabeth were not married until around 1826-1829. This is not our family and should probably be erased from this record.

From the 1834 State Census of Cobb County we have Burgis (sic) with 8 people, Buda (sic) with 3, Ausburn (sic) with 9, and Samuel Mullins with 4 in household. There was no Childers listed.

From "Gone to Georgia", pg. 52, item # 217:

"John Childers (220001-11210-0) (This the the 1820 Federal Census for Jackson County, GA. This interprets John as over 45, with his wife or his oldest girl 26-45)

"In 1799, Thomas Childress was living on Crooked Creek, on land originally granted to Geroge Stewart. This family, in Henrico County, Va., by 1689, worked its was west and south in Virginia and then down into South Carolina. William and Thomas Childree came from South Carolina to Georgia and were granted land on Rocky Comfort Creek Oct. 15-Nov. 22, 1773. By 1827, a Thomas Childers, Revolutionary soldier, was living in Walton County, Ga., and was granted Coweata County land, drawn in the 1827 lottery, on Dec. 19 1831. (See pension papers of Thomas Childress, Ga. (Va.) S 3147). Doughlas Childers (No. 226) was enumerated in Gwinnett County in 1820 and he and William J. Childers were in the 1827 lottery there. At least some of the family in Oglethorpe County were from Amherst County, Va. (See pension papers of Goldsby Childers, Va., S30924, and Oglethorpe wills of John T. Goolsby and Sarah Childress, Will Book B, pps. 4, 48). A Childers family from York County, S.C., remained for a time in Georgia, c1826, and then removed to Walker County, Ala."

1820 Federal Census, Gwinnett County, GA, pg. 266, line 7:

Childers, Douglas 300010-10010. This gives them both ages 26-45, which ties into Rebecca being born in 1789, and in 1820 would have been 31.
