Hi, Michael,
There is one file posted at rootsweb on your Robert C. Phillips at this link: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=bell&id=I07630http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=bell&id=I07630
This file indicates that Robert and Leatha had a daughter named Mary Frances Phillips who was born in Fulton Co AR in 1850, so I tried looking at the 1850 census in Fulton Co AR and found the following household:
Robt C Phillips, 34, b TN
Elithe Phillips, 27, b TN
Robt Phillips, 9, b TN
Rebecca Phillips, 8, b TN
James Phillips, 6, b TN
Margaret Phillips, 4, b TN
Sarah Phillips, 10 months, b AR
So it looks like this Phillips family moved from TN to AR between 1846 and 1850.If you have a male Phillips relative who would be willing to join the Phillips Worldwide DNA Project and get his yDNA tested, you might be able to identify your Phillips line.We have over 200 participants and have identified 28 different, unrelated Phillips families through DNA analysis.
