Yesterday, while browsing through some old court dockets, I ran into an interesting puzzle. Well, interesting to me, and I hope to some of you. in 1846-1848 [that was as far as I got] John Duncan Ashley and Sarah Jane Adams had a ward who name was Seaborn P. Phipps. In the 1850 census, there was a Sebern Prewick, male, age 12, in their household. Since the children from her previous marriages had their surnames included, [Elliott and Phipps] I thought Prewick was Sebern's surname and had been search according. Seems he may have been a Phipps. Does anyone know anything about a Seaborn/Sebern Prewick Phipps? Also, does anyone know if Richard Phipps, father of Frank Phipps, died, or was there a divorce? Virginia
