Barbee, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I had a copy of a time line of happenings in Ray Co., MO that incl. some of the epidemics through the ages of which there were records. I'll see if I can track that down. The only people that I found in Marion Co., Oregon that might be relatives was the Hiram Taylors. Was your Julia related to that family? I checked what info I had on Phillips in Oregon but didn't find anyone that early. I thought your family was the earliest. My family line is John Griffin Phillips s/o Jack Wesley Phillips s/o Armour Wesley Phillips s/o Joel Johnson Phillips s/o Squire Boone Phillips s/o George Phillips s/o John Phillips s/o James Phillips ( I wrote up a white paper on the John Phillips family that gave some strong indication that James and Mary Phillips of Virginia were the parents of John. I believe I sent that to you some time back. I keep thinking I ought to do the DNA testing as I have a straight male line documented back to John and Amy - I just haven't done it yet.)

John Phillips and wife Julia Taylor came to Oregon in 1852. There is a family story that they settled in the foothills of Marion County Oregon away from the river because they feared disease. The other family story that I haven't tracked down is that: "The first night in Oregon they stayed with relatives in the Willamette Valley and shot a deer from the front porch the next morning" Now who were the relatives that came earlier than 1852? Also wonder what John Mason, Mary G Paul's first husband died of only four years after the marriage?

Hi John Thank you for reminding me where I found the information on James and Mary. I recorded it back before I was smart about including sources. My cousin Brian Phillips has done the DNA testing. He used the full test and there are a lot of other tests that match the small test but on the full test some differences show up. I chose a James to compare it too. Don't know the significance of the numbers or understand how they work. "My DNA kit number is 29631. The names that match the kit numbers are at the ySearch website or I have the contact info. I will check out Hiram Taylor in Oregon somehow I have missed him. > > James Phillips, 1540, Gwinear, Cornwall, England > > R1b > > 13 24 14 11 11 14 12 12 12 13 13 29 17 9 10 11 11 25 15 19 29 15 15 > 17 17 11 11 19 23 15 14 18 17 34 40 14 12 > > 16 > > 29631 > > John Phillips, b.c.1768, VA > > - > 13 24 14 11 12 14 12 12 12 13 13 30 18 9 10 11 11 25 15 19 30 15 15 > 17 17 11 11 19 23 16 14 19 16 36 36 12 12" On Nov 09, 2005, at 6:01 AM, Phillips, John wrote: > Barbee, > > Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. > > I had a copy of a time line of happenings in Ray Co., MO that incl. > some > of the epidemics through the ages of which there were records.
