Now that I read this, this Phillip below was the name mentioned as being a brother to the researcher in Hamilton Co, a brother to his ancestor....If I remember right, these lines were taken back several generations from these to the East. That's all I remember. You might be able to get an email from the Hamilton web site, in the surname area, or join their list, or you can post a query to me privately, and I'll forward to that list.
