Rarely is exact bibliographical information included in my grandfather's
notes. There is almost always a notation as where his source came from (usually
individuals to whom he had spoken or written.) This is the sources he has given.
"According to a letter May 5, 1944 from Wilburn Paris, Boom, Tenn."
"I am enclosing the chart and copy of dates from the old family Bible of the
Phillips. I presume the old Bible is the one the old man Samuel had. When
I get time I will go down to Andrew Phillips and look over the Bible and other
old papers he has. Bill Phillips has the old deeds. This is the copy of the
dates, etc."
*Deed to Samuel Phillips from Joseph Disha, esq., Governor of Ky., March 25th,

there was.)
