Phillips of Clones,Ballybay, Drumbrain,Aghafin
According to the copy of The Last Will of Thomas Phillips in my possesion, Thomas lived in Aghafin House County Monaghan.
The will is dated 31st., July 1855. In the will he leaves to his son George H., a part interest in Aghafin House and another property He calls Drumbrain.
My Family history records have Thomas borne @ 1772. First married to Marry Martha Whitcombe, and His second wife was Jane Harshaw.
I have been unable to trace the Phillips history beyond this point. I would be very appreciative of any assistance.
I have found one reference in the Tithe Books to a Thomas Phillips, cross referenced with Drumbrain, but there is no way to confirm that this is "My ", Thomas Phillips.
Included in the " comments ", are 2 Decendant Trees created in the 1960's on tour by relatives of mine. Hope they can help someone!
Sincerely, Rob - whale@eagle.ca
