Your orators and oratrixes would respectfully represent to your honor that said Bennett Phillips dec'd. had a daughter who intermarried with one Thomas Allison. Her name was Rebecca and that she had no children, being advanced in life when she married said Allison who was a widower and the father of several children

Nancy: Thanks for the posting. I had seen, but forgot abount, the probate record in Williamson Co., TN (1833). Some researchers also name a son, Mark. I need to search Joseph's  probate file again  to see if he is mentioned. - Bill Leflar
