Surnames: Phillips Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/nNABAIB/7590.2 Message Board Post: Blanche, My greatgrandparents were Phillips on my mother's side of the tree, we have been told they were part cherokee also, but we have had no luck in finding any of them on the internet except two. That would be one of their daughter's and the sister of William Suell Phillips who was killed in 1914 going to California to get a job, he was killed on a train somewhere near Missouri cause that is where they took his body off the train and buried him. We are thinking his parents were Charley and Polly Phillips from the Overton,County area of Tn. If you have or think that these people of mine might be some of your Phillips please email at my email addy which is [email protected] and put Phillips in the subject line so i want delete the email. If they do not fit into your line then i want bother you again ok. BettyParsleyByrd
