The Phillips family had been in the New World for two generations already when John was born in 1776: The first Phillips of this line, James, immigrated during the first decade of the 18th century from Suffolk in England.
Ironically, the Long line is one of the shorter ones in our tree.
This October-week there are lots of ancestors to remember.
Last Sunday 103 years ago, our 2nd (and 3rd) great-grandmother Anna Tatman passed on.
This week, we remember our 3rd (and 4th) great-grandparents of the Andrews line of the family.
Yesterday 111 years ago, Azariah F. Denney died in Dunkirk, IN.
This cousin of ours lost his life in the Battle of Cold Harbor in 1864.
