From what I know he was born 1881, Hawkins Cty. and died Feb. 2 1962 and buried in Old Union Methodist Church Cemetery. This Gid was married to Effie Skelton In one of my other searches, I ran across some evidence that there was another Gabriel in Greene County. My Gabriel was one of my Grandfathers Brothers, I think. My line is John R., from James Henry, from William K., from Asahel and Rebecca Phillips who originally came from W. VA. around 1800 and first settled in Sullivan County and later ones moved to Hawkins. My GG Grandfather William K. was married to a Mary, who was born around 1828-30. My mother was from Benjamin Smith who moved from Hawkins County Tennessee to Norton, Va., where he died in the early 1900's. Her Mother's family was Wilsons who supposedly came from Wilson, NC, and settled in the McPheeters Bend Community. My mother later moved back to Hawkins County and Married my Dad John R. Phillips, who was ! widowed by his first wife Elizabeth (Betty) Shelton who had children by a previous marriage, but her and my Dad had no children. I was born on a farm near Keplar, North Fork, Burem Road. There is also a Millie Phillips from Jacob, Asahel who married a Henry Frank Clifton and she is buried in Simmons Cemetery, Hawkins Cty. I cannot verify any of this info as it was given to me by a third party. There are Phillips buried all over Hawkins County, but I do not know if they are all related. I hope this helps, if you have other info please advise. Jim Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
