Notes for ISABEL ROWLAND:
Almost impossible to understand, everything that Absalom Phillips owned was sold
after his death; absolutely nothing appears to have been left for his widow and
small children. One would assume that the money was used to pay his debts
and to support his children until they became of age.
Isabel
Rowland Phillips, the widow of Absalom, married William Lafaver in late 1859 or
early 1860. In the 1860
Children of ABSALOM PHILLIPS
and ISABEL ROWLAND are:
i. JAMES T.3 PHILLIPS, b. Abt. 1845, Columbia Co., GA5.
James was shown
