Hi List, Wiliam Phillips and Eleanor Jones were married in Herefordshire, England and came to Philipsburg, PA in 1820 according to 'A History of Central PA' by Beers written late 1800's. Beers says their daughter Julia born 1827 married Robert Howe, and names the Howe's six children. Also M. Hagerty, the Philipsburg historian, wrote that William Phillips was a stonemason who worked on the renovation of the Old Union Church in 1842. The 'Shimmel' genealogies mention this couple as having a 'sister or sister-in-law' Elizabeth who came to Philipsburg and married John Shimel about the same time that William Phillips/Eleanor Jones did, 1820, so we don't know if Elizabeth's last name is Phillips or Jones. Does anyone know who the parents (in England) are of William Phillips, or Eleanor Jones, or Elizabeth (Jones or Phillips), all born about 1780-1800 or have any further information about them? ATTENTION: This is NOT the Philipsburg founding family of Philips whose names are Henry, James, Nathaniel, Hardman and cousin William. Thank you for any help, Jan in Arizona

Hi, I was wondering if there might be someone who has access to the Spangler books and who could do a lookup for me? I am trying to find out when my gggrandmother, Martha (Mattie) Ammerman Turner, died. I know she was alive until at least the 1920 Federal Census, when she was 67 years old. Her husband, Vance (aka John William) Turner died in 1922 at 69 yrs of age. I do know that they lived in Philipsburg at the time of the 1910 census, but had moved to Curwensville, Clearfield county at the time of the 1920 census. For most of their lives, though, they lived in Centre county. I do not know where she is buried, though her daughter, Eva M. Turner Baney, is buried in the Philipsburg cemetery. I would be extremely grateful for this lookup as I live in Houston. Thanks so very much! Susan Ferrill
