William Phipps b. 1864, Ashe Co, NC
My grandmother, Sara Ruth Phipps, was born in 1902 to William & Tisha Phipps of Ashe Co.William's parents were reported to be Robert Phipps and Sarah Frances Edwards. Have found reference to a son of theirs named William Frank who was born in June,1864 in Ashe Co., but no spouse or children are listed for him. My grandmother's death certificate listed her father's middle name as Andrew, but the birth date/place are correct for William Frank. Would appreciate any help with this puzzle.
Note:If William Andrew is really William Frank, there is information on this line on Ancestry.com tracing the family back to 15th century England. These are the Phipps of Grayson Co., Va who moved to Ashe Co., NC. There have been several references to this family in this column.
