    1. Re: [ILWASHIN] Fwd: Poorfarm
    2. I would like to be included on any information anyone has. Abraham Phillips was an ancestor. I know in the census records old folks are listed at the farm.. I know the Phillips were active in establishing the Methodist church in Beaucoup being part of the Whittenberg family who came up from Tennessee for this purpose. I think the poor farm was located on Phillips land. Abraham Phillips (III) also used his home on the "underground railroad". Thanks.
