Phillips-Mayfield family Amherst Co. VA to Garrard/Lincoln Co's KY
I have suspected that my ancestor Jacob Phillips b. 1780,of Amherst VA comes from the George Phillips/Sally Mayfield line, but proof has eluded me.The family lines posted vary a little, as do most families, but seem so likely to be the same family. I've researched some of the family that came down through Isaac, son of George and Sally, and it seems possible there may be some living Phillips descendants still in Lincoln Co. KY.Isaac's son Lewis V. Phillips of Garrard co KY had a son Isaac married to Mary Ball. Their Son Frank married Cora ?(Perkins)? in 1917.
I have recently joined in the Phillips DNA project, results not yet back, and would truly love to contact any Phillips who know they come from George and Sally's line, and compare notes.
My ancestor Jacob stayed in Amherst Co. VA his entire life. He died in 1867. His wife was Elizabeth Coleman.
