HELMS / PHILLIPS / WINTERS Burke Co NC
Just received this information and it really put a "curve ball" into my research ... I am looking for ancestry of Alonzo Theodore PHILLIPS b May 25, 1855 Union Co NC d April 12, 1940 Burke Co NC m Martha Elizabeth WINTERS b January 12, 1847 Burke Co NC d May 02, 1922 Burke Co NC m December 11, 1879 Burke Co NC.
Recent information obtained claims that Alonzo had taken the name of his mother Eliza Phillips as his bio father was extremely abusive and mean to Alonzo.Eliza later married HELMS ... Stephen WINTERS daughters were attending college in Monroe Co NC where they met Alonzo and Eliz.. moved them to the Winters Estate in Burke Co (Pea Ridge).
I am not sure where to go from here and looking for any and all possible leads ... Thanks in advance from southern CA ... Charlene Phillips
