For those of you out there that have been helping my with research on these
families . . . .
I just received the death certificate for Amanda S. Phillips Thorne. It
reveals her birth date as June 11, 1844. It states her husband's name as
William Thorne, so now I know the middle name for Harvey W. Thorne!
It also gives her father's name as Perry Phillips. I had her father as
Francis P. Phillips. Now we know his middle name. He was born in 1819 and he
was the son of Robert Phillips, b. Dec 23, 1785.
I have always believed that Robert Phillips was related in some way to
Presley Phillips b. abt 1796. I feel even stronger now that I see his son
has a middle name of Perry. Perry is also seen in the descendants of Presley
Phillips.
Amanda's death certificate also indicates her mother as Elizabeth Antle.
Francis P. Phillips married (1) Louiza Rea Feb. 14, 1839 and (2) Nancy E.
Antle on January 16, 1845. So Elizabeth could not be Amanda's mother.
Although she was only about 6 months old when her father remarried.
I have been unable to get any leads whatsoever on Louiza. She must have died
in childbirth . . . that's my guess.
If anyone has any clues on this family, I would love to hear from you!
As always . . . constantly searching . . .
