Descendants of Jeremiah P. Phillips

1. Jeremiah (Jerry) P. Phillips (Alexander) b. 1847 Jasper County, MS and died abt. 1920 in Mississippi. ( I have yet to find his death certificate and where he is buried.) He married Laura (Lucy) Lucinda Isbell, 3, Oct. 1865 in Rankin County, MS.

Generation 2

2. W.(William) Jesse Phillips (Jeremiah, Alexander ) b. 1867 Rankin County, MS and died 29, April 1933 in Hazlehurst, Copiah County, MS. Buried at Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery in Copiah County, MS. On his death certificate it states his name as Jessie P. Phillips. The P. stood for Patrick as my grandmother said his name was Jessie Patrick. Jessie married Susan Chapman on 8, April 1888 in Simpson County, MS. On this marriage license, the name shown for Jessie is W. J. Phillips. (I presume the W. stood for William, as his father had a brother named William and the J. was for Jesse, after his mother's brother, Jesse Isbell.)
