Surnames: Phillips/Philips, Dabney Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UAB.2ACE/62.80.81.786.1 Message Board Post: Do you know anything about Dabner (Dabney?) Philips who is in the 1810 Mercer Co., KY census? He is 26-45 years of age, has a wife and two daughters under 10. On same page, 328, are Nicholas and John Philips. Aaron, George and Jacob are on page 326. You say your Richard Dabney Phillips was in Anderson County, which is adjacent on the north, to Mercer County. Maybe there is some connection between your Phillips family and the one I am researching. I am researching Nicholas Philips/Phillips who lived in Mercer Co., KY from 1810-1830. In 1830 Nicholas Phillips was in McNairy Co., TN. His son, George N. Phillips, is my friend's ancestor. I have seen the name Dabney mentioned with the Phillips surname before. Do you know what the connection is?
