| Immigration | BY 1642 | Virgnia, British America.1 |
| Religious Affiliation | | Abraham Childers was affiliated with Quaker.1 |
| Misc | | Childers in America. Found on facebook:
Based on "hard evidence" of the Big Y tests, It's a curious thought that apparently all of the 66+ Big Y testers are descendants of only two individuals; either Abraham Childers (b. 1613) or his nephew Philemon Childers (b. 1637), both of whom immigrated to America from the Leeds, England area, circa 1650. This suggests is that these two individuals were the only two Childers immigrants to the New World. |
| Misc | | Parents. The tree on ancestry that we are led to believe is DNA verified, has the father of Abraham Childers b1622 who married Jane Howard as Richard Childers I (1574-1617) and not William Childers b1599 and Anne Ramsden as I have now. Do they have a missing generation?
So much for this tree being so great... They have a child born after the father dies. No spouse.6 |

2 James Withers and Elizabeth Keene - descendant of Frederick |
| Misc | | Parents: Henry Thomas Farmer, but mother? I can't prove the mother by DNA and WikiTree says Henry Thomas had two wives with dates. But by John's birth date and info both from the Farmer book and from WikiTree it would appear to be safe to say that John'smother was Henry's first wife. The first wife's name is unknown in the Farmer book and has the 2nd wife as Hester Bass, widow of William Bass.3 |
