I am not aware of this line - I have plenty of Josephs and Williams but none that match the birth dates listed. It would have been mice if they had listed his wife's name. But that would have been to easy

Joseph Phillis,
was the first member of the family to
settle in that part of Pennsylvania.
Joseph was a window glass blower,

two sons and a daughter, viz. : Jacob Joseph, Lewis,
and Susan, who married a man by the name of Ryan

there is mention of a family tree in a bible in
http://www.archive.org/stream/memoirsofalleghe01innort/memoi...

The following genealogical table is taken from the family Bible of
Mr. Phillis' maternal grandmother, Margaret E. Holmes, who was
born in County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1779,

in anyone familiar with this reference?
is a scan of the family tree available?

The names on the pictures are Emma A. Phillis, Kenneth Phillis, Lois Phillis, Lucille Phillis, Edwin Phillis(uncle), Wilson Phillis(uncle), Og Phillis(uncle) and Tacy Angeline Phillis who married Charles Hershel Fitch. If you have any information I would be happy to hear from you.

Emma was the mother of Og. Lou. Lois, and Ken( deceased) were children of Og with 1st wife Betty. Lou and Louis are still living in Henry County. Lou is my mother. Ed and Wilson are deceased as is Og. Other children of Og are Robert (deceased), Donald (living), William (living), Deloris (deceased), Richard (living). As is mentioned in this thread, there is a family reunion that is very well attended every year near Galesburg, Illinois. There is a pretty well done family history there every year as well.

I have put on the message board information on Emma and James - parents of Og Altus "Jack" Phillis. Emma's family includes the Moody's, Stockdale's, Harper's and Nichols'. I think each line goes back to the Rev. War. You can reach me at kkpfeiffer@msn.com.

Karen, that James was killed by a bull is new to me. Interesting. You should know that a number of Phillis were already in Illinois, before James moved there. I will try to provide more info on this at the reunion, in Aug.

Died: September 10, 1937 Tx (anc)
Married: Charles H Fitch went to Texas

There are many who dispute James full name. James went by several names James, Frank and JFS. At the Henry County Courthouse his initials JFS Phillis is listed for marriage and children’s birth. I have his watch fob with the initals JFSP on it. Grandma (Gail Isabelle) Shaklee scratched out Shaklee part in the family Bible as she did not want anyone to know that she and Grandpa (Silas Sheldon) were related before marriage. Several Census records list him as JFS Phillis.
The attendants to James and Emma’s wedding were MW Steven and V E Moody who were married July 31, 1886.
According to the Census, James and Emma left Henry Co, IL and went to Beverly, Washington County, OH as Virgil , Granger and Og were born in Ohio. They were living in Morgan County Ohio at the time of the 1900 Census.
James was the youngest child and reported spoiled. He went by different names in different areas which makes one wonder what he was doing that he shouldn’t. He was the only one in his family to move very far west (Illinois). What caused him to pack up his family and move to Ohio? What kind of trouble was he in or caused?
In the 1910 Census, Emma and children were living in Henry County Illinois and James was living in Nebraska using the name John FS Phillis. In the 1920 Census Emma was living with Gail and Silas “Sheldon” in Henry County Illinois. She came to live with them when Evelyn was born as she was such a tiny baby.
Were James and Emma divorced?? It is said that Emma kicked James out of the house when he started getting abusive to the children. Most people agree that James deserted the family. Emma packed up the family and moved back to Henry County, IL. It is believed her brothers sent her money to achieve this. She came back with 7 children. (Og Phillis) Emma spent the rest of her life living from one place to another, never having a home of her own.

Was James married to Catherine Wilson, daughter Hilda Phillis??? In Ohio
Did Catherine die? What happened to Hilda?? (Lois Miller disc 27 pin 229810 lds)
Could this marriage have happened when James and Emma went back to Ohio and caused them to split???

James was killed by a bull. (aleigha)

Was Ray the one who was pushed off some steps and died from head injuries? Did he die in OH? Was his body brought back to IL or it just a stone at Clover Chapel?

Death of Jim Phillis at Atoka, Oklahoma

maryachtrh — 2007-12-13 00:33:13Z

Appears in "The Wapanucka Press" 11 December 1902 Wapanucka, Johnston County, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma

Jim Phillis, a prisoner awaiting trial in the Atoka jail for larceny, died Wednesday morning of typhoid fever. He had been in jail but a few days, and was brought up from Wapanucka. It was thought that he had a sister residing in Hartshorne but all efforts to locate his relatives have proved in vain. Durant News.

Lance Corporal Frederick John Phillis New Zealand Rifle Brigade

byrona19 — 2006-12-18 21:15:21Z

Lance Corporal Frederick John Phillis was a member of the 3rd Battalion of the "Dinks" - the New Zealand Rifle Brigade. He was born in 1892, had been educated at Harewood School and before enlistment in 1916 had worked as a miner at Waiuta in Southland. He arrived in France in March 1917 and was involved in the battle at Messines. He was detached to the Brigade School for some time, rejoining his unit on 5 October 1917. Phillis survived the debacle at Passchendaele and was promoted to Lance Corporal on 29 November 1917, possibly to replace a comrade killed in the struggles near Polygon Wood. He was wounded in the abdomen on 27 March 1918 trying to halt the massive German offensive near Amiens on the Somme, evacuated for treatment but died two days later and is buried in the Étaples Military cemetery
