Still looking for the elusive Robert PHILLIPS (PHILIPS) born around 1800 in either Tennessee orNorth Carolina depending on which census you read. Have found him in 1832 tax list for McMinn Co, TN, butnothing before that. First wife was Nancy ? (possibly Cherokee Indian), childrenwere John, James Hobeck, Robert, George, William, Margaret, Myra and Martin. In the late 1850's, he wentto Franklin Co, IL with James (married to Margaret Dey) and Robert. There he married Malinda PhillipsKing in July 1859. What happened to the other children and Nancy? Where was Robert born? Would appreciate anyassistance with this brick wall.Jennifer Phillips Brown
