    3. Hi Chris, I checked the Grayson records but didn't find James & Minnie. THey were in the Alleghany records: 23 Jan 1893 James M Lundy 31 of Grayson, s/o Churchwell O. & Caroline W. married Minnie n. Hampton 18 of Grayson, d/o Griggs & Susan Todd Hampton. Hope this helps..

    1. Search for Descendants of Phillips Immigrants
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Phillips, Davis, Williams, Bailey, White, Graves, Yates Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jAC.2ACE/619 Message Board Post: To The Grayson County Board: My name is Virginia Phillips-Smith, and I am involved in a Phillips DNA project which is located at this link: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/PhillipsWorldwide/. 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. Shannon is the volunteer project administrator for the Phillips Worldwide DNA project. By the way, we are all volunteers and are not being compensated in any way to pursue this project. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and we look forward to hearing from you. I hope and believe this new scientific tool will solve many genealogy puzzles and tear down many brick walls. Sincerely, Virginia Phillips-Smith

I had seen this mary before and wondered because of the spelling. This is a difficult family to research because Ephraim Carson took his mother's name...no father. I personally think Mary came from the John Carson family that immigrated from Antrim, Ireland. Ephraim was born in Sparta, Allegh. co. When I look back to the time mary was young, there is only the John carson family that had a Mary born about that time in that same area. Also mary seems surrounded in Elk creek by other relations of John and Andrew Carson. I just wish I could "prove" my assumption. my mom visited the Allegh. co courthouse last week. When I get home from vacat. I will see if she found out anything!

Patsey (Martha) Carrico Dec 27, 1823 Grayson Co., VA. So far, however, I have not found evidence in the census records that they had a daughter Elizabeth. In the 1850 census there was a 12 year old Elizabeth Atkins who was the d/o David Atkins Jr. and Laura Atkins. I know the marriage record you found says the father was James Atkins, but you have to remember that sometimes a stepfather, grandparent or guardian was listed under "father" instead of the real father. Did the marriage record give the age of Elizabeth? (Though you also have to remember that people, esp. females, lied about their age in order to marry without parental approval.) I'm afraid I don't have any of the Jones that you mentioned, and they don't seem to be in Grayson Co. in the 1860 or 1870 census that I can find.

You are giving me names and dates for the daughter of James, not for James himself. The reason I wanted to know the spouse name for your James or any possible dates for him is that I have a feeling your James could be the one who married Patsey (Martha) Carrico and was the son of the James we've been discussing. But without a spouse name for your James, or any dates for him, I have no idea if I'm on target to think this.
