In my prior post I was headed off to a county courthouse in Illinois searching for a land transaction for Daniel Phillips Bounty Land hoping to narrow down which Daniel Phillips is the correct one, and help tie together the pieces. I spent an entire day in the courthouse searching land records (there isn’t anContinue reading “Daniel Phillips Bounty Land Research Trip – Results Part 1”

Daniel Phillips Bounty Land Research Trip
In researching the Phillips branch of the family (My Great Grandmother, Marjorie Bayne Munter’s mother was a Phillips), there is one generation that has very little solid evidence. Isaac Phillips was a Revolutionary War Veteran, and it is believed that Daniel Phillips is his son and then Jacob/Jasper Phillips is his grandson. We know quiteContinue reading “Daniel Phillips Bounty Land Research Trip”
Happy 400th Thanksgiving
After attending the annual meeting of the Illinois Mayflower Society last weekend and listening to some of my favorite podcasts talk about the sailing of the Mayflower and their first Thanksgiving 400 years ago in 1621 I thought I’d do a quick post on our known Mayflower ancestors, starting with the Mayflower Compact.

Family Connections – way back to early colonists

Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite
Sometimes my research is focused, and sometimes I’m randomly clicking around looking at whatever catches my fancy. In one of those random days I stumbled into some information on the immigrant Mareen Duvall. For a tie-in, after Mareen, a 4th Generation Duvall married a Bayne, and four generations later, a Bayne married a Munter andContinue reading “Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite”
