Hello, I'm researching Philip Dale who was known to live in Macon/Adair county between 1840 and 1860 and was married to Polly Chambers Botts. Any chance someone might know where or when Philip and/or Polly died? Also am wondering what happened to their youngest children Elijah and George. Any information would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Christine, I have in my records that Philip Dale died about 1878 in Macon county at a very advanced age. I do not have a document to back this up. The information was given to me by my cousin Dale "Pat" Walker, now deceased. I descend from Philip Dale's sister Mary C. Dale Riley. Have you found any information about their father Abraham Dale?
