VA. ( No proof ) As you may know Silas K. was in Tazewell Co. VA. in 1848. With Nancy Harper and six children. In 1850 they are in Clay Co. KY. From 1860 until Sias K. death in 1895 they were in Morgan and Wolfe Co. KY. In Morgan Co.KY.1833 William Phipps married Sarah Godsey d/o Clinton Godsey. In the 1830 census of Morgan Co. there is a James Phipps with a family, and a William Phipps living alone.I believe James and William are the sons of James Phipps Sr.in the 1820 census of Scott Co.VA.and the same James and William in the 1840 census of Parke Co. IN. William and Sarah are in the 1860 census of Fountain Co. IN. listed under the name Phillips. I did not know about Lydia Ratliff liveing in Park CO.
