My husband / siblings grew up "knowing" (oral history) that there was American Indian in their ancestry, but the origin is unknown. His PHILLIPS roots are predominantly western MA with a little spill-over into Vernon and Guilford,VT. I suspect the native line may be a maternal one since the PHILLIPS line traces back to Rev. George PHILLIPS who "came with Gov. Winthrop on the 'Arbella' in 1630." ~Sally ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 3:54 PM Subject: [PHILLIPS] american indian surname Phillips > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/nNABAIB/7590 > > Message Board Post: > > Looking for anyone with the Phillips name with Indian heritage.

I have a grandfather several generations removed who was said to be a Phillips and also said to be at least one half native american. We believe he was either in the Alabama area or possibly Arkansas area at the time but have been completely unable to track anything concerning him....His name was Eugene Coleman Phillips. I'm not sure but I also think he may have gained his native blood from his mother rather than an actual Phillips. However, years back there was a lady doing research on a Phillips line that descended from King Phillip...forgive me but I don't have the information in front of me and my memory is somewhat vague...I do believe it was King Phillip that was actually an Indian (not a true King) that fought in the New England area and whose tribe left the area moving upward north and possibly on into Canada. Maybe this will be at least a clue for someone.

Unless (unlikely) the cherokee tribe spontaneously invented the name 'Phillips' then anyone who was born with the surname PHILLIPS was the offspring of some British male immigrant and hence never "full-blooded indian" Bryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sally Phillips" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: 13 October 2006 15:39 Subject: Re: [PHILLIPS] american indian surname Phillips > My husband / siblings grew up "knowing" (oral history) that there was > American Indian in their ancestry, but the origin is unknown.
