Thanks for the correction, Ruby. I double checked my dates and I had sent the marriage date for Nancy Apperson and Samuel W. Harris by mistake....that is why we all need to double check all data that comes from other researchers....we can all make mistakes! Interesting that Samuel W. and Nancy Apperson Harris name a son Samuel Sterling Harris. Sterling seems to have been a very popular name in the Apperson family! My data base indicates that the Sterling G. Apperson who was witness would have been a brother to both Nancy and Rebecca. I have a little bit of new information from a last fall trip to Virginia. I'll try to dig it up this week if I can find it easily. marsha RUBYGEM@aol.com wrote: > >In a message dated 8/10/2006 2:17:26 P.M.

I am glad that information helped you guys. I have several of these, and I am going to try to start posting a couple a day, mainly those where the deceased was born before 1869 when most records were destroyed, as many list the mother's maiden name which is an obstacle for Buckingham County. I will note that the penmanship on some is awful and anywhere that I am unsure of what I am reading, I will make a note of it.

We are attempting to find documented male descendants of all the original male Phillips immigrants to the New World and encourage them to join the Phillips Worldwide DNA project. DNA genealogical studies work very successfully on straight line male descendants, so their DNA is a precious commodity. The DNA test is painless and only involves swabbing the inside of the cheek with a special brush or scraper. The lab mails a kit to the participant and then the participant mails the kit back to the lab. The kit is assigned a number, and the name of the participant is never published, thereby assuring privacy and confidentiality. Also, the lab only looks at certain markers on the male Y-chromosome, so this test does not identify any medical problems or other sensitive information. The DNA test is not free, but the participant gets a break with regard to the cost of the test if he participates in the Phillips Worldwide DNA project. In addition, financial aid may be available if the candidate belongs to an especially representative or large Phillips line and he has excellent documentation. If you are a straight line male Phillips descendant of a Phillips Immigrant, and you are willing to join the DNA project, or if you know someone who is a straight line male descendant of a Phillips Immigrant, please contact me at vapsmith@ntelos.net or Shannon Phillips at PHILLIPSDNAPROJ@AOL.COM.
