Reuben Saffold and Mary Evelyn Phillips migrated from Morgan County, Ga. (he was born in Wilkes County, Ga. in 1788) to the Mississippi Territory in 1813. Reuben signed the original Alabama state constitution, and settled in Pleasant Hill, Dallas County, Ala. wehre his house still stands. Four generations of his family lived in Dallas County until his 3 great grandson, Ray Phillips Saffold III, moved back to Georgia in the 1950s. (I tease my husband that they'd seen enough of the Western Migration Trail and turned around and headed back home. Of course, other branches of Reuben's family moved west and elsewhere.) Reuben's son, Benjamin Franklin Saffold, married Mary Ellen Brown. Their son, Ray Phillips Saffold I, married Camilla Bettie Lou Robbins. Ray and Cammie's son, Ray Phillips Saffold II, married Mary Frances Tate. The Saffold, Phillips, Brown, Robbins and Tate families all came to Dallas County via the usual pattern: Virginia>North Carolina>South Carolina>Georgia.
