We just returned from a long-awaited trip to the Fort Wayne Library. It was
great to have so many resources to check, all in one place. Problem: never
enough time!! Found some addl surnames to add to our line connected to
PHILLIPS and KELLY/KELLEY. Thought I'd post them, just in case anyone else
working on these. Still don't know much about these new finds, though...
BUSHMAN, J. Fred "Red" m Grace PHILLIPS
MISKEL, John Kenton "Kenny" m Mary Celeste PHILLIPS
COLLIAS, Peter m Nan ELLIOTT, who I *think* is a daughter of Paul ELLIOTT
and Margaret PHILLIPS
If anyone is working on any of these lines, and could help me out, I'd like
to have parentage of these new finds.
Also, btw, while at the Ft Wayne library, we stepped next door to the
Historical Society museum, and found some wonderful books and resources to
bring to life the times of our great-grandparents in Fort Wayne. Also took a
driving tour of the town, and stopped at the addresses we had found on
census records for our great-grandparents' extended families. All but one of
the 100-plus-yr-old houses were still standing!
