Looking for information on Andy PHILLIPS, born about 1865 in Wayne County TN. His
father was Joseph PHILLIPS (born 15 March 1831 in Tennessee)and his mother was Casandra F.
(Sissy) RILES (born about 1834 in Tennessee.) His grandfather was Samuel B. PHILLIPS (born
1760 in North Carolina). Andy married Mary Adeline GRAVES on 3 November 1885 in Wayne
County. Mary GRAVES was born in April 1869 in Wayne County. I have no other information on
Andy, except that he is reported to have died in 1893, just before the birth of his third
son, Thomas Melvin PHILLIPS. Also looking for information on Mary GRAVES who, after Andy
died, moved to Parker County Texas where she is listed in the 1900 census, then
disappears. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I am seeking info on a GEORGE W. COOK, born 1812 TN, died 1888 Clark Co. AR. He and his
family lived in Wayne Co. from atleast 1836 to 1850. I believe the 1850 census of Wayne
Co. TN has him listed as George Cook, age 41 [38 ?]born TN, wife ABTEL [maybe ABIGAIL],age
40 born SC; DELSEY [DEMPSEY ?], age 20; ISAAC, AGE 18; MARY E.[L.],age 14; WASHINGTON
[G.W. Jr.], AGE 11; ANDREW, age 4. Although there are some errors in this record I think
it is for my grgrgrandfather, GWC,Sr. GWC,Sr.,Dempsey, GWC,Jr. and Mary Cook were in AR in
the 1850's. Lt.GWC,Jr., died in the Civil War at Yazoo, MS. I don't have any info
whatsoever on Abtel\Abigail, Isaac or Andrew Cook. I am guessing that they died in Wayne
Co. TN after 1850. Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

Monetta E. Evans BELL (my grandmother) and Wyatt Evans. She married J.W. Jones 8/19/1899

they operated a grocery store in Memphiis during the 1st 30 years or so of the 1900s. If
you are related or have genealogy info, any help would be greatly appreciated.
