We have an Andrew Jackson Phares in Florida. I am attaching a copy of his wife's obituary below. They married between 1900 and 1909. They lived in Jacksonville, Florida until the time of her death. He was a steamboat captain. I have found an Andrew J. Phares, steam boat captain or ships engineer in the census in other areas also. The 1900 census has one in St. Petersburg, Florida and the 1910 census has one in New York state. The ages of all of these individuals are very similar. Each one has a different family so I can't tell if any of them are the same person. We also have an Ida Clair Farris who died in a fire the same year as Willie Mae Harris Phares. Not sure if there is any relations here but we are interested in finding out more info.
