I have some information of my Thomas PHILLIPS (b.1787 VA-1857 Limestone Co., AL) which said that he married (1) a woman named _?__ MURRAH. They didn't know her first name, but thought she was a sister to an Amos MURRAH. Their last child born before her death was born in 1822. If anyone has any information or suggestions, I would be greatly appreciative. Donna

My Samuel Stephenson b. 1795 in York County,SC married Mary Shields. He came to Limestone by 1822. His son, George Alexander Stephenson, b. Limestone in 1822, married Elizabeth Sarah Perry in Giles County,TN. in 1849. He was living in Madison County in 1870 but came to Limestone for a Baptist Association meeting and decided to stay.
