I will start with Abraham Phillips Sr. (1791-1865) and his wife Mary Sheets. They had several children that I have info on. This would include 3 sons who made it to Caldwell County, Andrew, John and Abraham Jr. They each had several children. Abraham Jr. married Catherine Mayall and had four sons: Francis Marion, George Albert, Justin Grant and Leslie Ernest. They also had some daughters. I only mention the sons because you mothers birth name was Phillips and I think they may be most helpful. I have much more info on dates of birth, marriages and death dates on these and other children if you are interested. I descend from Francis Marion Phillips (1857-1942). I would be willing to give you what I have if you think my info were helpful. My grandmother (a Phillips) died in 1998 and would have likely been some sort of cousin or second cousin to your mother. She was born in Braymer in 1919. There were lots of Phillips in the area mostly related. My earlier post had my old e-mail. This post has my current email. Dewayne Perry
