Surnames: Phillips/Philips, Burch Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/nNABAIB/5355.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi, Linda. Thanks for the query. I am actually stuck on that line. The information that I have only goes back to about the 1880s. My ggrandmother, Laura Belle Phillips, was from Virginia, I think Amherst County and had at least 4 sisters (Lelia, Cora, Fannie and Mary). There might have been another sibling. I spent time over Christmas searching for Laura's obit but did not find it. She died in 1920 within weeks of giving birth to her 7th child. I have her parents as William Phillips and Tollie Burch but no info on them. I believe they lived all of their lives in Amherst but I have found nothing on them as of yet so can't be positive or have any proof of where they were living at any time during their lives. It is a line that I am working on and would love to make some progress on one day. I doubt any of this is helpful to you, but if it is feel free to contact me again and we can compare some more.
