Della Massengal m Jacob Childress - 1905 Campbell Co., TN
Marriage Records from Campbell Co., TN show a marriage between J.L. Childress and Della Massengal on 1-15-1905. In the 1910 Campbell Co., TN census, this family seems to appear as Jake L. Childress (28), Della (23), Isham (4) and Charles Elmer (1 8/12). This may have been Della's second marriage. She must have been deceased by 1920. The 1920 Whitley Co., KY census has Jacob Childers (41), Isham (14), Charles (12), Viola (9) and John (5) living with Mat and Sallie Reed. Jacob's relationship to Mat Reed is "brother-in-law". The 1930 Harlan Co., KY census has John Childress, Nephew (16), living with Mat and Sallie Reed. I believe Della Massengal Childress/Childers was probably a sister of Sallie Reed. Sallie seems to have been a Massengill/Massengal(e), although her marriage to Mat Reed may have been her second as well. Can anyone help me sort out the relationships between these folks? And, assuming Della and Sallie were sisters, who were their parents? Thanks in advance!
