Mary Anne, I have been doing a gazillion of these lookups but your is the first that is really a HIT. I think I found the info you are looking for. There are several articles on the Phillips family. One on Abner, the patriarch, and a couple of his offspring. I think this Abner is the brother of your William. Here is a synopsis of what I found. I will copy the articles and send them snail mail to you if you would like. Abner was b in Wayne Co Ky on 10/11/1805 to Richard (1777-1851 VA) and Susanah Chambers (1780-1853 NC). Abner was named after grandfather Abner (1737-1813) who was born in Maidenhead, Burlington Co NJ and died in Surry Co NC. Abner had 13 siblings: Rebeckah 1800), Elizabeth (1803) Sarah (1807), Ephrain (1809) Margaret (1809) (twins????) James F (1811) Mary Ann (1811) (another set of twins?? it does not say in the article), Gideon W. (1813) William C (1816 - could this be your William? I hope so) Nancy P (1816......twins???) Prudence (1818) Cornelious F T (1821) and Richard L G (1823). Now this family also lived in Marion County TN where Wm's wife was from. Abner married Martha Ellis b 1808, the daughter of Wm Ellis Jr. I am related to the Ellis line through the Beene/Bean line. One of Abner's children, Hannah L married Alias Hicks, I am related to the Hicks through my ggrandfather John Franklin Henderson's sister Lucinda who married Dewey (I think) Hicks. Two of their other children married Crows and a third married a Hawkins. I am related to Crows and Hawkins through the Beene/Bean line as well. This article was submitted by Leon and Dorothy Jones, 205 West Highline Drive, Deer Park Texas 77536. Let me know if this is your line. Also since the DeKalb list has been so slow this summer, I would appreciate it if you would post your Phillips info to the list.
