PHILLIP SECHRIST changed the spelling of the last name to SECREST sometime around 1850. I have had many answer all saying that none of the Sechrist/Secrest in the Rowan county area in the 1790 census were the father of Phillip.I know he had to have a set of parents.Also Mary Sullivan had some. I would like to have any info regarding this line, any help would be most appreciated. Debra Carter tara37@comsys.net http:www.genexchange.com/in/index.cfm
