She is rumored to have been adopted by a Cullen, or Philips family of Massachusetts circa 1900. The woman would have originally been born in Newfoundland and may have immigrated to the USA via Halifax, Nova Scotia. Although born a Phillips, she may have used the Cullen surname durig her early years. This woman would have had roots in both Newfoundland and Nova Scotia with both Phillips/Philips and Cullen families. I am researching the children of a James Phillips and Bridget Phillips nee Williams of Newfoundland circa 1898. James Phillips is related to a Mary A. Cullen nee Phillips of Halifax, Nova Scotia circa 1900 and her husband John/Michael Cullen. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
