The Phillips family of N. Carolina - Tennessee - MississippiUpdated September 5, 2000 | |
I am researching the PHILLIPS family from North Carolina.HORACE and MARY were born around 1820.Mary was from South Carolina.They moved to Henderson Co., Tennessee around 1838-39.They were farmers and had five children:MARTHA, WILLIAM, HENRY, SARAH, and JOHN.HENRY, my great-grandfather, and ELMIRA ELIZABETH WILSON were farmers and had nine children:WILLIAM A., THOMAS L., JAMES H., HENRIETTA, MINARD M., WEEKLY, CLIFTON, LEONARD, AND LENA.They moved to Marshall Co., Mississippi, near Byhalia, around 1871-73.CLIFTON was my grandfather.It seems that much of the family remained in the area (Marshall / Desoto county) for many years.I am interested in anyone in the family, and I'm especially interested in finding out more about HORACE, who his parents were and where they were from.Any information would be appreciated.I've gathered bits and pieces of information from old census records and death certificates and would be willing to share anything I have. | |
