Surnames: Phillips, Ewers, Fritter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nNABAIB/7573 Message Board Post: I am still looking for my mother-in-law's great-grandfather and I've posted before, but I have some additional leads so thought I would post again. We now suspicion that her great-grandfather was George Phillips, b. about 1793-1794 in VA; I have come across clues that may be him, both in Loudon County and Faquier County, VA. It also appears he may have had a brother, Nelson, and a brother, John. A John Phillips married Rachel Ewers, sister to Mahala Ewers, who was the wife of George. George and Mahala were married in Belmont, OH (perhaps Goshen) on April 25, 1844, so George apparently made his way west. From what I've ascertained Mahala was born in OH abt 1811. I'm not sure George did, but his son Amor Boyd Phillips eventually ended up in South Dakota, married to Celissa Fritter from OH. Any information would be much appreciated! I'm trying to find this family and while my m-in-l is in good health for now, she is 80 and I would like to complete this side of the tree fo! r her. Thank you.
