Listers, I am posting this because my message to Debbie Morgan bounced back. Wanda Debbie, I came across some information and remembered you. In a book of court reported birth records by Gloria Cox, Harriett Mae West Hein b Nov 29, 1895 (1st child)and Hannah West Miller b May 30, 1899 (2nd child)and Lula Pearl West Allison b Aug 28, 1904 (4th child)all report parents as William Shelby West and Rosa Phillips. Parents and children all born Warrick Co, IN. Rosa Phillips was dtr of William M. Phillips. William M. Phillips does not appear to be the son of John Phillips who was born 1829 in NC and married Polly Gentry in Warrick Co, IN 1849. William M. Phillips age 7 is not in Warrick Co in 1860, plus he reports his father b SC. I suggest you look for William M. Phillips in one of the other counties in IN 1860, possibly Gibson or Posey Co. He obviously had some connection to John and Mary Gentry Phillips, but what I don't know. You might look for William's marriage to Hannah Leslie in KY. It would appear that William M. Phillips is neither the son of John and Mary Gentry Phillips, nor James Ross and America Endicott Phillips. Please let me know if you find William's parents in the 1860 census.
