Regina, 1850 census says he was a "clerk" and all directories say "lab." The one you sent is a possibility, however, our Phillip was born in Berks County, PA and this one says Ireland. I could order the death record but hesitate because of that. A family history recently given to me by a family member says that his "family was by trade butchers" but I don't know how accurate that is. Phillip remained in the Berks County area at least until 1840 as he is in the census there and I first find them in Philadelphia in the 1850 census. Elaine
