That did not mean that had to be married in that county, however. Since Beverly is so close to the Washington & Morgan county line, just to preclude it, I checked the marriages of Morgan County from 1878-1898 and there is no marriage for a James Phillips or Philips, although there is a large Phillis family in Morgan County. I also checked Robertson's History of Morgan County and the 1980 history published by the Morgan County Historical Society and there is no James Phillips listed that relates to the information you provided below. The Harris family is Quaker. There is a large Harris family in Belmont County, therefore, have you checked the Quaker records for Belmont County? If they were married under the rules of the Society of Friends (Quaker) then there will not be a record in the county court house as the Society of Friends do not believe in recording them in that manner. You would have to check the minutes of the Monthly Meeting where they resided. The largest Monthly Meeting in Morgan County would have been Chesterhill Monthly Meeting. The minutes of the Chesterhill Monthly Meeting were found intermixed with the minutes of a Monthly Meeting of a town in New York. They had been turned in to the repository in Pennsylvania. HOWEVER, I DO NOT KNOW THAT THE PHILLIPS FAMILY WAS A QUAKER FAMILY. I hope that gives you some leads. Jack Phillips wrote: > James S. Phillips - my grandfather - of Morgan County and lived in Stockport. I have lost him when he married Catharine Humphry (John T Humphrey father) of Beverly. I would like any information as to where James and Catharine were married as they tended to move around a lot and did go to South Dakota where my Harry W. Phillips was born, then they moved back to ohio and lived in East Liverpool where James died of the influneza flu in 1918. They were married in the year 1896 according to all indications. James father and mother were James and Nancy (Harris). I would appreciate any information you could pass on to me regarding the Phillips of Stockport > > Jack L.
