Hi Bonnie--I saw your note. On the same 1850 TN census page as your Phillip, separated by a family of Ridenours, is another Malicoat family at #321. Simeon Malicoat, 33, a collier, is living with Sarah, 20, and Phillip, 21, also a collier. Campbell Co records show a Simeon Mallicoat married a Sarah Reed around March 1850. Clearly, this younger Phillip is unlikely to be Simeon's son, so perhaps he is a son of your Phillip by an earlier marriage? In July 1854 a Simeon Mallicoat married a Nancy Wheeler (she is my connection). The 1850 Campbell TN census, 17th subdivision, shows (#630) a Nancy J Wheeler, 38, apparently a widow with children. From other info, I believe she was also living at that time near Cedar Creek, just north of where the Cedar Creek Road today crosses Cedar Creek at the Cedar Creek Bridge. It seems like it was this Simeon and this Nancy that got married in 1854. However, I have never been able to find any evidence of them after their marriage. During your research, have you ever heard anything about this family? It seems likely that your Phillip and Simeon must have been related, to both be living that close together and both working in the coal mines. Perhaps also, this Simeon or Phillip may be the missing father to your other Prior born in 1862. Steve >Morning List! > >I am currently researching a mystery in my family tree.
