For what it's worth--This all neatly and closely fits letters and family histories in my direct line. I am descended from Robert Crowley Phillips and his first wife, Lucy Ann Neill. Known to my grandparents as "Crow", he and Lucy fathered this eldest son, Wm David Phillips plus two daughters, (1) Lula Phillips b 20 Apr 1866/ d 29 Dec 1966 and (2) Lucy Ann Phillips b 20 Dec 1870 / d 6 June 1941 and another son, my greatgrandfather Edgar Monroe Phillips ("Ed") b 29 Aug 1869 in Douglasville, GA / d 2 Apr 1933 on the Phillips farm just outside Mart, Texas.
Edgar Phillips married Ardell Frazelle; their youngest son was my grandfather, Carl Gilbert Phillips, b 28 June 1902 Mart, Limestone TX. Carl (C. G.) Phillips, a retired Houston banker, died 20 Mar 1974 in Houston.
The only significant difference in my own family history is that Robert Crowley Phillips is the son of Thomas Henry ("Henry") Phillips who was the son of Whitmell Phillips and Nancy Ann Hurley; Whitmell b 1775 is the son of Joel Phillips b c1735 (son of Joel Phillips and Elizabeth Harrington, this Joel presumably the son of William Phillips...??
Family stories have young Edgar Monroe Phillips accompanying his brother Wm David Phillips to Texas in the mid 1890s. For reasons lost to time, Wm David then returned to live out his life back home in GA, while Ed remained in Mart for his lifetime, becoming a prominent farmer there. I have letters to my grandmother ( Carl married Rubye Floyd Applegate, daughter of Claude W Applegate and Stella Watson (Applegate) of Mart) from cousin Tommie Phillips LaCavera with the above lineage.
Carl had only one child, a daughter, my mom.

My grandfather, Robert Clifford Phillips, used to tell stories about living in Texas before moving back to Ga. in 1902 after his dad made 200 bales of cotton. They came back to Ga and bought a farm near Whitesburg in Carroll Co. He mentioned unlce Ed, and said his wife was dark, with black hair, and a lot of jewelry. They thought she was an american indian, but with the last name Frazelle she was perhaps of french descent.

The family moved to texas in 1892, and I have only seen "Thomas Henry Phillips" mentioned twice. Every record I have ever seen on the family merely lists him as "Henry Phillips". I would like to know the source of this.

I also see a problem with our linage. I checked for info on Henry Phillips in Morgan County and found where a Henry Phillips and Hardy Phillips were on the militia rolls for the county in 1811, and that in 1822 Henry Phillips died and Hardy was his executor.

Since our Henry named his children after the Joel Phillips family, I don't see how we could not be descended from them, but this Henry Phillips on the militia rolls could not be our Henry, but is he our Henry's father? If so, was he descended from the Joel Phillips family? Another puzzzle.

Mrs. Kiser, I have not heard from Mr. Joe Phillips. My landline is 706-846-2592 (no cell) and my address is Randolph Phillips, PO Box 303, Shiloh, GA 31826
