I am looking for a lost PHILLIPS family who lived somewhere around the Warren County area in about 1850-60.
We believe my grandfather, Andrew Phillips, was born in 1855 in or near Warren Co. We have exhaused our efforts
in Warren Co and decided to seek help in the surrounding area. We know he had an older brother named John and an
older sister (name unknown). Andrew's father was killed in the civil war and his mother moved the family to KY,
where she later died (abt 1865) leaving Andrew an orphan. We do not know the names of either of his parents. On
a marriage license in about 1892 Andrew did list his mothers maiden name as COBB. Andrew told his family his father
was killed at Manasses. We have searched for years to locate this family. Would appreciate hearing from any PHILLIPS
or COBB researchers how might have a clue about this family.

married in 1883 and had a son LV in TEXAS in 1892(don't know where inTexas). My Dad's birth certificate has Sidney

certificate just before she died.Sometime Smith Co and Smithville get mixed up. I can't find Robert in any census
after 1880 and I didn't find Victoria in census again until 1920 in Robertson Co with their children. bswinnett@aol.com

This is a brickwall effort---I am searching for the maiden surname of Rhoda(?)VICK(dob 1798 to dod 1867).Rhoda
? married Littleberry VICK(dob 1798-1867) about 1818 supposedly in Liberty TN.All I know of Rhoda's early life
is that she says in a later census that she was born in VA.
Roda & Littleberry VICK lived,raised their family and died in Liberty,Tn(Smith(later Dekalb)Co)TN. Littleberry's
VICK family were residents of Smith Co TN--In 1820 census Smith Co, there is a Rhoda BLANKENSHIP listed: (as follows)
1 M under 10,2 M 10-16,1 F under 10, 1 F over 45. My mind is attempting to make this my Rhoda (?) VICK's mom ,whose
husband had recently died.(Sound possible)------Does anayone have any knowledge of this Rhoda BLANKENSHIP? Please
reply. I would lke to get a "good" reply on this one.---Judy ADAMS Woods jaawfw@edge.net
