He was my GG grandfathers (Elijah Madison Phillips). I don't know if this is the same one but he was born in 1841, married in 1865, died in 1927. I don't think he was born in Alabama but I do know His children were born there. I belive he was born in georgia. He had 11 brothers and 1 sister. He would have been only 1 of 5 who servived the civil war.I also have a listing of his children. I don't see the name you listed as one of his children. But I just may not have that name.
