==Early life and family==
Childers, affectionately called "Molly", was born into a reputable Bostonian family that lived at 8 Beacon Street on Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts. Physically disabled from the age of three following a skating accident, Childers was educated at home and wasn't mobile for the first 12 years of her life.〔Young , John "Erskine H Childers" (Colin Smythe) (1985) ISBN 0-86140-195-6 ;pg.5–7〕 Eventually she was able to move enough to ride horses, but she was never capable of walking without crutches.〔Green , Martin ''The Mount Vernon Street Warrens,'' ( Simon & Schuster) (1989) ISBN 0-684-19109-1, p.93〕 Her father, Dr Osgood, was a student of Dr Louis Pasteur and spent time with him in France. It was this research with Pasteur that enabled him to bring the first rabies antitoxin back to Boston, and in turn America.〔Green , Martin ''The Mount Vernon Street Warrens,'' ( Simon & Schuster) (1989) ISBN 0-684-19109-1, p.150〕 The Osgood's ancestry was directly linked to John Quincy Adams and Anne Hutchinson, and Molly was very proud and outspoken about this connection.〔Boyle, Andrew. ''The Riddle of Erskine Childers''. London: Hutchinson 1977. ISBN 0-09-128490-2 pg 121–123〕 Molly's mother Margaret Cushing Osgood encouraged her to read and to pursue a life in academia, as her disability would hinder other careers. The Osgood family home on Beacon Street was next door to the Boston Athenæum. Molly spent years of her childhood inside this library, reading for hours every day; several members of the Osgood family were among the first proprietors of the institution.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=trRJyC0GtXAC&dq=boston%20athenaeum%20proprietors&pg=PA25#v=onepage&q=osgood&f=false : Register of the Proprietors of the Boston Athenaeum, 1898〕〔http://books.google.com/books?id=1q8ZAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA89&dq=boston+athenaeum+proprietors&hl=en&ei=K17RTYnlBYHt0gGDjvXmDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=osgood&f=false : The Athenaeum centenary: the influence and history of the Boston Athenaeum, 1907〕〔Cox, Tom "Damned Englishman: A Study Of Erskine Childers (1870–1922)" Exposition Press ,1975 ISBN 0-682-47821-0 pg.32〕
