By 1761 John would have been about age 72 and he could have died shortly thereafter. A portion of the 1764 Buckingham County tithable list, which was found in Prince Edward County many years ago shows Abraham Childers with one tithable and 250 acres, Francis Childers with one tithable and 200 acres and John Childers with two tithable (including Negro Hannah) and 415 acres. If John was then deceased, he had left his son John the 415 acres. The 1773 and 1774 tithable lists show Francis Childers with two tithable, John Childers with two tithable (including Alexander Stinson) and Willis Childers with one tithable. In 1800 there were four Childress on the tax list: John and Drury Childres with two whites, four homes and five Negroes, Francis Ware Childress with one horse and one Negro, John Childress with two horses, and James Childres with no horses or Negroes. The names of John B. T. Childress, John Childress and Drury Childress appear in an account book dated 1802-03 of John Epperson who owned tobacco warehouses and a general store in Planterstown.
