Surnames: Phillips Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DZ.2ADE/435 Message Board Post: This is just a hunch, but any help would appreciated. My great-great grandfather Lewis S. Phillips may have lived in Pueblo CO or at least done business there. He & his family are recorded in Rulo NE in the 1860, 1870 census and his children are "wards" of someone else in the 1880 census. According to a Rulo history, Lewis hauled freight around and for a few years stayed in Pueblo for business. I've been following him in the Richardson Cty, NE tax record and it looks like he was gone for a time until 1899 when Lewis & "A.J" Phillips bought some more land in Rulo. They are not in the Nebraska for the 1900 census. Has anyone come across Lewis or AJ Phillips in any directories or anything from 1880 onward in Pueblo? Thanks again for any help in advance.
