Relatives of U. E. Phipps, son of T. J. Phipps, Missouri (Illinois?)
Hi,
I am looking for ancestors and descendants ofT. J. Phipps (Thomas Jefferson Phipps).He died in Missouri, but I am not sure of where he was born.The dates I have are 1837-1891.
The original information I had was from the book "The Descendants of Robert and John Poage" a family history which lists a Poage descendant Nettie Johnston's marriage to Urban Ellsworth Phipps, son of T. J. and Katherine Obayer.However, I know the Obayer is not correct and it might be Hays or Hayes.I am a great granddaughter of Urban Ellsworth Phipps and Nettie Johnston.
All other information I have found lately online.So far, I believe that U. E. had at least one older brother Will Ed.I am not sure if there are any other siblings.Then it appears that T. J. married Betsey Fletcher in 1880.I cannot find anything about what happened to his first wife Katherine.I think there were at least 5 children from T. J. & Betsey (Thomas Napoleon, Lura J., Benjamin H., Mary Florence, and Anna), but I do not know if that is accurate.
I found the 1900 census pages for Cedar Co. Missouri online where both Urban Ellsworth Phipps and Will Ed Phipps are listed.At that time Urban was head, with wife Nettie, and 3 daughters Bula (Beulah), Dottie (Dorothy) and Cleo (my grandfather would have been born September of that year).Will Ed was head, with wife Ida, and 3 sons & 2 daughters Don E., Stanly ?., Thomas ?., Olive E. and Ernestene.
In the 1910 census pages for Cedar Co. Missouri, Will Ed had 3 more sons listed Theodore R., Willie R. and Jacob.There might have been more children later (like Virgil, but I do not know for sure).By 1910, Urban and his family were in southern California.
Please contact me if anyone reading this has anymore information.I have more information Urban & Nettie's descendants if there are relatives that want to know more.Thanks!
