Elizabeth "Lou" Phillips
Elizabeth or Lou Phillips, born 1800-1820 in SC. Married Irishman, Tom Jordan. Moved to Roane Co., TN (may have moved to TN before marrying Tom Jordan). Their children were:Emiline, b. abt. 1835, Mary Catherine, Sarah, Margaret, Celie, Joseph (killed in Civil War), Jefferson(a dentist in Chattanooga), Benjamin, and James Thomas Jordan, b. abt. 1850. Census records list her simply as "Elizabeth", husband's name as "Jordan". An elderly family member says her name was "Lou Phillips". "Lou" could have been her nickname, or abreviation for her middle name (Louisa, Lucretia, etc.). One census record states Elizabeth Jordan (Lou Phillips) was born in SC, about 1810.
