Hi Kay, Phillip jr is my great great great grandfather. I come through Phillip jr's son William Benjamin Killian and his daughter Francois Louisa Killian. After Francois Louisa married James Monroe Brotherton (also of Bollinger Co), they along with William Benjamin (and his wife) moved down to the Bootheel of MO. My grandmother and mother were born and raised around Kennett. I guess this makes us cousins. One of the reasons we are looking for a link between Phillip sr and Phillip jr is to get my mother into the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). We would appreciate any information on the link between Phillip sr and Phillip jr you have. He are mainly looking for BIBLE records, deeds, wills, etc .. But we will take whatever you have. If you send anything from a book please send a copy of the title page too. Back in August my folks and I traveled up to MO and we to the genealogical libraries at Jackson and Marble Hill. We werent able to make a documented link between the two. Although we felt like they had to be father and son. Thanks for the help ! What kind of preacher is your husband ? I live down in Huntsville, Alabama. Which is in the center of the state close to the Tennessee line. Where are you ? Thanks again. >>> mcgregorfamil@sbcglobal.net 11/25/02 11:28PM >>> MArk, "My" Mary Catherine Killian was 1st cousin twice removed of Phillip Killian,Jr. How are yours tied in? I have several articles and alot of family sheets from the Killian family. I would be glad to share them. The Goodspeed book I told you about has been out of print for a number of years. I bought mine at an estate auction and paid $175.00 for it. I have seen one on EBay-the reserve price was $200. I don't know where you live. But if you have a fairly large library close, you may be able to get it on interlibrary loan, but I'll be happy to send you what I have. I'll get the files out over the holidays and get back to you propbably on Saturday or Monday. My husband is a minister, so the weekends are full. ===== See you here, there, or in the air!!!
