Leisa, Ellendar is my gggggrandmother on my mom's side.I found a book at the Family History Center on Leake Cty MS and it contained some information about Hawkins Phillips.Here is what the book stated...
Land records reflect at least a dozen Phillips families obtained lands in Coosa Cty between 1835 and 1840.Amoung these were Hawkins Phillips and James Phillips of Carroll Cty, Georgia and Hiram Phillips of Bibb Cty Alabama.Hawkins and Ellender Phillips were married in Morgan Cty, Georgia in 1804 or 1805.Ellender's maiden name was unknown. The book states their marriage was "undoubtedly recorded in Baldwin Cty, GA. but all these records were burned by soldiers of Gen William Tecumseh Sherman on his infamous and destructive march to the sea from Atlanta.They moved to Alabama around 1820 where they lived for some years, but moved back to Carrol Cty GA where we find them in 1830.In 1838, they sold out and moved back to Coosa Cty AL where they for a few years before moving to Leake Cty MS.Records show that Hawkins Phillips located on land in Township 9, Range 9, and owned Section 3, 7, and 10.This land is located between Zion and Madden.
Ellendar PHillips died 3-Oct-1856 at age 69. Hawkins Phillips died in 1858 at age 73.Both are buried at the Phillips Cemetery in Leake Cty MS about a mile and a half from Zion Baptist Church on the road to Madden.The location is on former Hawkins Phillips land.There are no tombstones on the graves, however, sand stones were erected over their graves.
Their children are Telith b. 27-Dec-1800(?), Joel b. 14-Sep-1803, Hiram b.26-Apr-1810, Charity b.29-Dec-1811, James b.27-Mar-1813, Polly Mary b.6-Feb-1816, Rubin 30-Jul-1818, Whitmell 22-Mar-1820, Lena Cathering(my ggggrandmother) b.10-Dec-1821, Francis Marion b.8-Aug-1827.
I have not verified any of this info.This is all from the book.I have more on some of the other Phillips' from the same book if you are interested.Hope this helps.Sound like we are related.
