This is my family and as far as I know Yarbrough is her middle name and Philips (not sure whether it's one "L" or two) is her last name. I saw a history book on Harris Co. Georgia which is where the family lived and there was a General Charles Philips who sounded like a prominent individual. The book listed his children but Eliza was not among them. However, later in the book Reuben is listed as one of the executors of Charles Philips will??? Charlie [email protected] P.S. Just saw your second email concerning the will of Reuben. Thanks for the additional info. I have heard of the Crews News newsletter but have been unable to actually locate copies. I have also heard of an organization called the Crews Cousins but again no luck in finding it. Anyone else heard of these?
