Hi Debbie, Although Phenis is not my direct line, I decend (by marriage) from them. I'll share what I have on the Phenis name, and hope this helps you. John E. (or John F.) Phenis was born in 1854. He married Lorretta (maiden name unknown). John & Lorretta had an infant son (b. 10 Sep 1889, d. 23 Sep 1889), and a daughter Lida, who lived until 4 Oct 1968. Lorretta died 13 Feb 1911. John Phenis then married Nancy Louvesta (Ellis) Sellers [my grandmother] who had been living in Brookville, IN. They lived in Darrtown, (Butler County) OH until Nancy's death in 1927. John Phenis died 4 Dec 1943, and is buried in Oxford Cemetery (Oxford, OH), Sec. 50, lot 3, with his first wife Lorretta, infant son, daughter Lida, and second wife Nancy. I would love to see what you have on this family. Darrell in Minnesota ---DRE1955@aol.com wrote: > > Hi! > > We're related!
