CHILDRESS, GEORGE CAMPBELL (1804-1841).
George Campbell Childress, lawyer, statesman, and author of the TexasDeclaration of Independence, son of John Campbell and Elizabeth(Robertson) Childress, was born on January 8, 1804, at Nashville,Tennessee. His sister Sarah later married James K. Polk, president ofthe United States. In 1826 he graduated from Davidson Academy (laterthe University of Nashville). He was admitted to the Tennessee bar in1828 and married Margaret Vance on June 12 of that year. Their son wasborn in March 1835, and Margaret Childress died a few months later.Childress practiced law and for a brief period (September1834-November 1835) edited the Nashville Banner and NashvilleAdvertiser. In December 1834 he made his first trip to Texas, wherehis uncle, Sterling C. Robertson, was organizing Robertson's colony.
After spending some time raising money and volunteers in Tennessee forthe Texas army, Childress left permanently for Texas. He arrived atthe Red River on December 13, 1835, and reached Robertson's colony onJanuary 9, 1836. The following February he and his uncle were electedto represent Milam Municipality at the Convention of 1836. Childresscalled the convention to order and subsequently introduced aresolution authorizing a committee of five members to draft adeclaration of independence. Upon adoption of the resolution, he wasnamed chairman of the committee and is almost universally acknowledgedas the primary author of the document.
On March 19 President David G. Burnet sent Robert Hamilton andChildress, whose family was on friendly terms with President AndrewJackson, to Washington as diplomatic agents for the Republic of Texas.They were instructed to negotiate for recognition of the republic. Inlate May 1836 their mission was terminated when they were replaced byJames Collinsworth and Peter W. Grayson.
On December 12, 1836, Childress married Rebecca Stuart Read Jennings;they had two daughters. Childress returned to Texas three times-in1837, 1839, and 1841-to open law offices, first in Houston, thenGalveston. Each time he was unsuccessful in establishing a practicethat would support his family. On October 6, 1841, while living inGalveston, he slashed his abdomen with a Bowie knife and died soonthereafter. On August 21, 1876, Childress County was formed and namedin his honor.
NOTE: Sarah Childress, who married President James Knox Polk, was thedaughter of Joel Childress and Elizabeth Whitsitt
