Looking for information on the Frank W. Phillips & Hugh Smith Families. Hugh Smith was born around 1818 in Ireland, immigrated here in 1849 and was naturalized in 1854. I have two different names for wives Mary Brandon that I got from Ancestry.com and Julia Mullen which I got from this website. So not sure now if I have the right Hugh Smith. I have for Hugh's children as Thomas, Matthew, Anna, Mary, Catherine, Maggie. Catherine is my G.Grandmother who married Frank W. Phillips (who I will get to in a moment). Maggie, Catherine's (or Kate as I have seen it) sister, married a man by the name of George Breidenbach and had a daughter named Loretta (who is, I think my 3rd cousin). Loretta married a man by the name of Boyce Morrow.

Now to Frank W. Phillips. As stated Frank W. Phillips (born Sept, 1865) married Catherine Smith (born April 20 1866) on Nov. 3, 1886. I have as Frank's parents Barnhardt Phillips and Caroline Vogel but I am not sure this is correct after some more research. The children of Frank and Catherine Phillips are Florence, Lizzie, Edward and Mary Catherine. Mary Catherine is my Grandmother who was born April 1 1894. But my Grandfather, Henry Everett Bryan, had first married her sister Florence and they had a child named George. Florence became ill and died on March 31, 1908 and so did George about 6 months later and died. Then a few years later my Grandfather married Mary Catherine on Sept. 6, 1911.

If anyone would happen to have information on these two families, I would love to hear from you. You can also email me at jlbasham685@gmail.com Thank You.
