Hello Mike,
I saw your posting on the Jefferson Co. mail list. I am interested in
your Phillips family. I checked out your web page which is very nice. I
didn't see any of my Phillips connections there but since they were in
Jefferson Co. and then moved to MO., I thought you might know something
about them. They intermarried with my Wells and McClanahan lines of
Jefferson Co. There was a John Phillips who married Sarah Wells, sister
to my ggg grandfather, William Wells, in Jefferson Co. in 1824. They had
a son, Wesley Phillips, who married, Elizabeth McClanahan, sister of my
great grandfather, Harvey McClanahan, in Jefferson Co. in 1851. Wesley
and Elizabeth moved to Missouri and the last record we have of them was
that they were on the Bates Co. census in 1870. Elizabeth's brother
James married Laura J. Hall in Jefferson Co., also in 1851, and they
accompanied Wesley and Elizabeth to MO. My cousin hired a researcher out
there to see what informathon was available and she did find that James
died in Bates Co. in 1875 but that was all she found. I would appreciate
very much getting any information you may have on this family.
Sincerely,
Ardath Blue

Hello Ardath:
I have only recently found this generation of my family that lived in
Jefferson County. I don't know to much yet but will find info as soon as I
can. I know that my GGGGrandfather Philomen Phillips was born in N.C. abt 1790
and went to Montgomery County, Ky. for a short period then to Jennings County
and Jefferson County, Indiana. From their, most of the family went to
Hendricks County, Indiana which I pick up at this time. Three older sons
stayed in the southern counties of Indiana and I am just now finding
information about these family's, STAY TUNED, Next week I am taking a trip
back to Indianapolis to search for obituaries. Will report back to all when I
return.
In the meantime check out the Phillips Obituary Board at
