I saw your posting on Genforum and wondered if you have any info which could help us.
My husband is descended from James R. Phipps b abt 1824 d aft Aug 27, 1870 who married Ellen Douglas b abt 1826 KY d Aft. Aug 27, 1870, prob in Union Co, KY.His father was apparently a George Phipps b abt 1797 NC d btw 1860-1870, prob in Union Co, KYwho m Margaret (LNU) b abt 1800 VA d aft 1870, prob. in Union Co, KY.All four appeared in Union Co KY on the 1860 census; George didn't appear on the 1870, but the other three did.
I just located that info, but have no idea where George may have come from, or as to Ellen's or Margaret's parents.If you know anything about this particular line of Phipps, I would be grateful.They did seem to move around (and intermarry) with a family called Higginson which was in both Wayne Co KY and later in Union Co and Henderson Co KY.
