Hi Phillips researchers,
I am looking for Phillips family information also. My gggrandmother was
Eleanor "Nellie" Phillips, b. 1785 in Virginia, died Jay Co., Indiana 1863. She
married John McGriff, b. 1783 in Pa., d. 1863 in Jay Co., Indiana. Catherine's
parents were John Phillips, b. 1758 in Wales?, and Catherine Cassady, b.
3-1-1758 in Maryland, I have much information on the Cassady family but very little
on John Phillips. I do have John's parents as Simon Phillips and Catherine
Frome and a brother named Hezakiah but need documentation. I think it is the
same Hezakiah who married Catherine Lybrook It would be very good if someone
knew who Simon Phillips parents were also. Willing to share my information on
Phillips, Cassady, McGriff families.

Hi Jack,
I have in my notes that John Phillips (m Catherine) was possible a brother
to Hezekiah Phillips. But could never find anything to document the
connection. I didn't know anything about Simon Phillips and Catherine
Frome. Where were they from?
Thanks, Mary Lou
