Is it possible that your ELLIS is related to John J. Ellis b. ca 1775-1785 or Elizabeth M. Ellis b. 1848 d. 1886 McNairy Co., TN m. David P. McKenzie? Carlice Irions-Barnett Johnita P. Malone wrote: Looking at the 1850 census for McNairy Co., Tn., I would say it is most likely that this William C. Phillips is most closely related to the Elizabeth Phillips listed in District 11, household 1470. William C.'s oldest child in 1860 would have been born when both parents were 16 years old. Possible but you have to wonder? Wish I could help more. Johnita Gail forsythe wrote: This could be my Phillips family line of McNairy. I have John Phillips--then Nicholas Phillips--who had an oldest child William, then Joe, Goodwin, John Andrew, Andrew Jackson, and George N. Don't know anything about any line except John Andrew who is my ggggfather.

PHILLIPS & Lucinda ELLIS I'm searching for the parents and family of William C. PHILLIPS who married Lucinda ELLIS. According to the 1860 census both were born in Tennessee and living in McNairy Co. in the Mud Creek P.O. area. They gave their ages as 27. He was shown as a tenant farmer. They had five children: James, 17, Robert, 10, Marion, 7, Almeda, 5, Amanda, 2. In the 1870 census the family was living in the Purdy P.O. area. By this time James and Robert were no longer living at home. Three more children were shown: William, 9, Rebbeca, 6 and Rufus, 4. Can anyone make a tie to this family?
