Hello Howell Listers: I have copied Joe Bower's letter attached as it is the beginning of my line, also, and I would like more information on it, as well as contact with fellow cousins. 1. Ruth Howell m. John Phipps (my great x 4 grandparents) 2. their son Hugh Phipps married Edith Stansbury 3. their grandson John Andrew Phipps m. Martha Jane Landreth 4. their great grandson Calvin Wiley Phipps m. Flora Ella Dixon 5. Their great great grandson John Lester Phipps m. Cora Ella Ward. (my grandparents) Questions: Who was Ruth Howell's father? Was it William Howell m. Sarah Halsey or William Howell m. Eliz. Hash? Is this proven? Where are they buried? Sarah Halsey's father is buried near our NC home as well as John Andrew and Martha Jane Landreth Phipps. Joe Bower: Please email me privately too about the BAKERS. My great x3 grandfather in the Phipps line married BAKER. Thanks! carole in NYC Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2002 06:47:28 -0600 > From: "Jos. W.
