Other siblings were Valva Martin Phillips, Zula Francis Phillips BANKS, Charles Henry Phillips and Muriel Iberia "Phoebe" Phillips RANKIN. John Lloyd Phillips married Nelle Eleanor SULLIVAN December 12, 1916 in Belton, Bell Co, TX. Their children, raised in Dallas, TX, were John Lloyd Phillips Jr., Carol Elsie, Dorothy Maye (twins), and Mary Lynne Phillips. The father of John Lloyd Phillips was John Henry Phillips, born March 3, 1854 in Clay Co, IL, the son of Henry Phillips (1826-Nov 1853) and Feby Franklin (1834-1857), married October 7, 1852 in Clay Co, IL. John Henry Phillips was raised by his grandparents, Henry and Catherine (STANSBURY) FRANKLIN. John Henry Phillips moved to Texas about 1877 to live with his uncle & aunt, Benjamin & Malissa (CROWNOVER) Phillips. In Llano Co, TX on December 3, 1884, John Henry Phillips married Mary Iberia (HAYNES) WALKER, the daughter of Charles HAYNES and Rebecca DUNCAN. Henry Phillips was the son of John P. Phillips and Permelia STALLINGS, married January 20, 1810 in Logan Co, KY, thereafter making their home in Posey Co, IN. Permelia Stallings (c. 1792-1839) was the daughter of Wright Stallings (1760-1836) and Polly WESTRAY (c. 1765-1823) of Franklin Co, NC who moved to Chatham Co, NC in 1800 and settled next door to John P. Phillips. Polly's parents, Benjamin WESTRAY and his 2nd wife, Elizabeth SAWYER Westray, had moved from Franklin Co, NC to Chatham Co, NC about 1798, along with Elizabeth's son, John Sawyer. Benjamin Westray died in Chatham Co 1817 naming his daughter, Polly "Stallion" in his will. Wright Stallings sold his land on Beaver Creek adj. John Phillips in December 1807 (John Sawyer witness), and John Phillips sold his land March 1808. Wright Stallings appeared on the Logan Co, KY tax list 1809, with Phillips & Stallings moving to Posey Co, IN 1810-1811. Benjamin Westray's son, Simon, moved with Wright Stallings and John P. Phillips to Logan Co, KY and settled on Muddy Creek near John & Charity Bird, Willis Webb and Benjamin, John & William Simmons. Simon Westray died in Logan Co 1817, Wm. Simmons & Willis Webb appraisers. The father of Wright Stallings was Moses Stallings, b. c. 1729 in Chowan Precinct of Upper Parrish, Nansemond Co, VA and died October 18, 1794 in Nash Co, NC, having migrated to Granville/Bute/Franklin County about 1767. Moses Stallings was the son of Elias & Susannah (DENBY?) Stallings of Bertie Co, NC. The father of Elias Stallings has not yet been proved, but Elias is more likely the son of John Stallings who had settled in 1704 on Middle Swamp of Bennetts Creek, now near the town of Gates in Gates Co, NC. In 1723, Elias & Susannah Stallings bought land on Cypress Swamp at Saram Creek "the Banks of Italy" near the town of Gates, John Denby witness. Other Stallings lived nearer Corapeake than Gates. John P. Phillips (b. 1770-1774, d. aft 1840) was possibly the son of James Phillips of the 1790 Chatham Co, NC census near Isham Johnson, Blumer Wilson, John Tedder, Michael Wilson & Burwell Williams. John P. Phillips was most likely married 3 times, his 1st wife unknown, his 2nd wife probably Permelia's elder sister (per family lore), his 3rd wife being Permelia Stallings who attempted to divorce him in 1822. Permelia left her husband in 1829 and went with her married daughters to Clay Co, IL, taking her young children with her. The law was that if a woman left her husband's bed & board for 3 consecutive years, she could legally become a "femme sole" and be free to remarry. On August 3, 1833, Permelia Stallings married Thomas LEVITT and removed to Effingham Co, IL where she gave birth to Lorenzo Dow Levitt. John P. Phillips remained with his son James in Posey Co, IN. |
