martha, i have seen Childs, Childer, Childers and Childress used for the same people over and over ; seemingly interchangeable in many cases especially when used in conjuction with certain Native American names on some of the rolls. I think it mattered to the family but not necessarily to the person doing the documention. The Childers I am looking for are also in either Tippah Mississippi or Shelby Co, Tennesse. I guess the line was moved several time so you may need to broaden your search to neighboring counties.
I cannot imagine being left a widow with 11 or 12 children! Bless her heart! Have you looked in Civil War pension papers to see if an application was put in to get pension for his service? There may be a listing of names and birthdates of his children in such an application and and they would also ask when a where the marriage took place. Some sites have both the Union and Confederate lists on the same site, others separately .
