Died:
Angeline's death certificate erroneously recorded John Warner and Lizzie Phillips as her parents. Note that the informant for this death certificate was Mrs. Ollie Corman (Mary Jane Winkle-Corman). Mary Jane was the granddaughter of Angeline Warner and was born approximately 30-40 years after the death of Angeline's parents and at the time of Angeline's death, Mary Jane would have been reporting on the names of her great grandparents who died 60-70 years earlier.

Story excerpt from The Estill County Historical Society Bulletin, November/December 2004:

Edward W. Hawkins was arrested on Sunday morning, March 22, 1857, for stealing a horse. Estill County Sheriff James M. Land and Deputy Jesse Arvine were escorting Hawkins back to Irvine [from an area where the community of Proctor is now in Lee County, which was established in 1870., Hawkins had no intentions of going to jail. In late afternoon not far from Irvine [Old Landing area of Estill County], Hawkins found an opportunity to escape and took it. He grabbed Land's gun and shot both men. They died almost instantly. Hawkins ran into the woods and got away. The bodies of Land and Arvine were found by Harrison Moore and James Warner about sundown. They had heard the shots.

Died:
After many years, I have been unable to find any more reference to how, when or where James Warner died. I live far from Kentucky so research is slow and difficult when clues start to run short.

My assumption has always been that James died sometime between the 1860 & 1870 census enumerations because the youngest child of James and Nancy is enumerated with her grandfather, John Warner, in 1870. Of course, the Civil War took place during the decade but I don't have confirmation that this particular James Warner served.

I'd also like to find out what became of Caroline Warner.

If anyone has more information, please share it with me.

Thank you.

Other Events:

• Residence: 20 Sep 1850, Owsley County, Kentucky

Notes:

Note to other researchers: James and Nancy were probably married in Owsley County, Kentucky about 1845-1850. Their first known child, Angeline, was born about 1850-1851. Unfortunately, the Courthouse in Owsley County burned in 1929 and apparently all the old records were lost in the fire. I do not know the church affiliation and request that anyone who does know to please contact me. There may be church records available which could show the marriage. I also do not know where either individual died or where they were buried. Some proof of the marriage date range can be abstracted from the "Extracted Birth Records of Owsley County Kentucky" which shows the births of the next three children (John, Susan and Caroline). These records began in 1852 and continued till about 1858. The births are recorded in varying degrees of detail. Sometimes the parents full names where given and in the case with Caroline, the parents are named but she is listed only as live female. I believe that Nancy Phillips-Warner died between 1856 and 1860. In the 1860 census, all four children are listed with James Warner and there is no mother in the household (The youngest child is Caroline, age 4, which agrees with the Extracted Birth Records mentioned previously). On the same page is John Warner and Nancy [Horn] who I believe were the parents of James. In the 1870 census, James has disappeared, the oldest daughter named Angeline is now married to Joseph Winkle, and Caroline is now 14 and living with John Warner and Nancy [Horn] - Incidentally, all of the 1870 census information I've just describe appears on the same census page.
Researchers should also be aware that Angeline and Susan Warner married brothers, Joseph and William Winkle respectively. Susan Warner's death certificate names her father as James Warner and mother, Unknown. The informant for Susan's death certificate was her husband, William Winkle. If anyone has any information about the children of James Warner and Nancy Phillips-Warner, please contact me.
Reference to the surname of Phillips originally came from Gertrude Ashcraft-Henderson, granddaughter of Angeline Warner-Winkle. Gertrude told me that Angeline related stories to her that her own grandfather was the first judge of Lee County, Kentucky when that county was formed. Gertrude gave the name Benjamin Franklin Phillips as Angeline's grandfather. I checked the story and confirmed that Benjamin Franklin Phillips was the first judge of Lee County when it was formed in 1870.

Finally, there is a James Warner and Nancy in the 1850 Census in Breathitt County, Kentucky with no children. I have not been able to confirm whether they are the same couple I am researching.

Notes:

Benjamin Franklin Phillips was born in Virginia, possibly in Monroe County of that state. Around February of 1822 his father, Zachariah Phillips, moved the family from Monroe County, Virginia to Scott County, Virginia. In 1825 the family moved again from Scott County, Virginia to Estill County, Kentucky (Bear in mind county formation - Scott County,VA may not yet have been formed and was not verified for these notes). In 1850 Benjamin and his family were living in Owsley County, Kentucky. Benjamin was a Blacksmith with personal property valued at $3000. In 1870 the family was living in Lee County, Kentucky and Benjamin was a minister. It is quite possible that once Benjamin settled down with his family that, he remained in the same place all his life because at this time in Kentucky's history, county lines were constantly being modified.
Benjamin appears to have used his middle name at least during some periods in his lifetime. His name is given as Franklin Phillips. On the 1850 and 1860 censuses, both in Owsley County, his name appears as B.F. Phillips while in the newly formed Lee County (1870) his name is given as Franklin Phillips. Finally, his name also appears in the pension records of his father, Zachariah Phillips, as Franklin.

Notes:

Private Research Note:
Susan may have had these siblings:

Rhoda Bennett
Snowden Bennett

An Estill County lawsuit mentions Susanna Phillips, now Susan Phillips, as a witness for Rhoda Bennett, who was the former wife of John Bennett. The record is confusing and seems to discuss two or more events or issues . . . literally, it sounds like a love triangle. One of the individuals listed is Timothy Johnson and a little later (within one year), there is a marriage record for a Timothy Johnson and Rhoda Bennett in Estill County, Kentucky.

If correct, Susan Bennett's mother was named Rhoda and she was married first to John Bennett and then second, to Timothy Johnson and by 1850 she was a widow once again and living in Owsley County, Kentucky. Probably never moved but was just caught up in the formation of new counties.

Notes:

The following excerpt from the "Horn Timeline" (widely distributed on the Internet) makes reference to a lawsuit that is important to the genealogy of the Horn Family. Collecting these documents for examination and inclusion in the research is desirable.

Of particular importance is this quoted statement from the deposition of William Horn:
"William Horn, being sworn, states that he WM. came to this country with his father A Horn, and knows the statement made by Stephen Hancock to be accurate."

The preceding statement indicates that William Horn came to Kentucky with his father which, when cross-referenced with the court case in the excerpt below, that arrival date, according to one Stephan Hancock, was in the Spring of 1778. Furthermore, Stephan Hancock stated that he lived with Aaron Horn (who was accompanied by his son, William Horn) in Fort Boonesborough until Aaron Horn's death in at the end of September or beginning of October in 1778.

"Stephan Hancock fully sworn, stated that Aaron Horn, deceased husband of Mrs. Horn and father of Christopher Horn, moved to this country in the Spring of 1778 and died the following fall in the last of September or the first of October at Boonesborough. He (Hancock) lived in the same fort with him from the time he (A Horn) came to this country until he died . . ."

-------1802 ---------------------------------------------------------
August. 26 Elizabeth Horn files suit in Madison County Court to regain land taken by her son Christopher Horn. Christopher, as the eldest son under the old inheritance laws of primogeniture, was legally entitled to all of his father?s property in the absence of a will. Most of the family sided with Elizabeth in her fight to reclaim land that her son allegedly pressured her into deeding to him. The surviving records of this case provided extensive information about the early history of the Horn family during the early years in Kentucky.

Madison County chancery Court Records
Be it remembered heretofore to wit on the 26th day of August 1802, Elizabeth Horn by her attorney, filed in the clerk?s office of the quarter session court for Madison County, her bill in Chancier against Christopher Horn and others, and issued out a subpoena in chancery thereon, which bills are in the following words
and figures to wit: To the Honorable Judges of the court of Quarter Session for Madison County in chancery setting.
Elizabeth Horn, humbly complaining, shews to your Honor that she together with her husband in the year 177_ moved to the county and very shortly after , her husband died and that after the death, she raised in this county a crop of corn in 177_ and by virtue and in according to the act of the General assembly of Virginia, in such case made and provided, she applied to and obtained from the commissioners a certificate of preemption of 400 acres of land in what is now Madison County, an attested copy of which certificate she submits and prays that it may be taken as part of this her bill of complaint: that sometime after she obtained a certificate, she entered into a contract with James Estill to locate and clear out the 400 acres of land for her; that she transferred the right (of land) to him and took his obligation to convey to her 200 acres ( of the 400) when a grant should be obtained from the Commonwealth; that after she had received the obligation from Estill, Christopher Horn, the eldest son of her deceased husband ( and whom she prays may be made a defendant) claimed the land as heir to her husband and threatened to sue her if she did not assign to him the obligation upon Estill; that she being timid and fearful of being harassed with law and being persecuted by Christopher Horn, that his right to the land as heir to her husband was good, she signed the obligation for the 200 acres to C Horn; that he never gave her any consideration for the land whatsoever and has since transferred his right and interest in the land to Jesse Noland, (whom she also wishes to be made a defendant); that James Estill has died and left Benjamin Estill, his eldest son and his heir at law in whose name a grant from the Commonwealth has been issued ( and whom she also wishes to be made a defendant) ; that the defendants are combining and federating to injure and oppress her, particularly Jesse Noland and Christopher Horn has refused to give up to her the obligation (for the land) and cancel the assignment and Jesse Noland has brought suit in chancery to compel a conveyance of the 200 acres against Benjamin Estill, all which actions and doings are contrary to equity and good conscience and tend to manifest injury and oppression against her.

For as much as Mrs. Horn is remedy-less in the promises by the strict rules of the common law and can only be relieved in this court whose frauds and mistakes are relieved against and contracts are carried into specific execution. To the end therefore the that the defendants true and distinct and perfect answers make to all and singular the premises and fully and perfectly as if the same were herein again repeated and interrogated and in particular that C Horn set forth and say: Is not the above a true statement and ,if not, what is? (2} Did he not claim the land as heir of law to Mrs. Horn?s husband? (3) Did he not claim the obligation (to the land) by falsely representing his claim as better than hers and threatening to sue her? (4) What did he give her for the bond? That the defendant, Noland may say: Is not above as it respects him a true statement and if not, what is? That your honor will decree that the assignment of Mrs. Horn (to Christopher Horn) be canceled and that Benjamin Estill convey to her the right to the two hundred acres agreeable to the obligation and give other such and further relief as may be agreeable to equity and that the C?wealth writ of warrant be directed. signed: --Hardin and Boyle for Mrs. Horn

Copy of Elizabeth Horns certificate for 400 acres referred to in bill:

Elizabeth Horn this day claimed a preemption of 400 acres of land at the state price in the district of Kentucky lying on the north side of the Kentucky River above the Coporas Lick including a bottom known by the name of the Coperas Lick Bottom by making a deluxe settlement in 1778. Satisfactory proof being made to the court they are of the opinion that she has a right to preemption of the 400 acres of the land to include the above location and that a certificate issue accordingly.
28 December 1779 Attested: Thomas Todd
Subpoena issued by court
The Commonwealth of Kentucky to the Sheriff of Madison County. Greetings, you are hereby commanded to summon Christopher Horn, Jesse Noland and Benjamin Estill to appear before the Justices of our Court of Quarter Session for the county of Madison on the first Monday in September next to answer to a bill in chancery submitted against them by Elizabeth Horn and this they shall in no wise omit under the penalty of 100 pounds each and have them here.

Depositions: Stephen Hancock, Joseph Proctor, Jesse Hodges, William Horn and Matthias (Matthew) Horn taken at the house of Robert Caldwell in Richmond on the 15th January 1803 on behalf of Elizabeth Horn to be read as evidence in the suit in Chancery in Madison county where Elizabeth is complainant and where Christopher Horn and others are defendants.
Stephan Hancock fully sworn, stated that Aaron Horn, deceased husband of Mrs. Horn and father of Christopher Horn, moved to this country in the Spring of 1778 and died the following fall in the last of September or the first of October at Boonesborough. He (Hancock) lived in the same fort with him from the time he (A Horn) came to this country until he died and does not know of Aaron Horn raising any corn or planting any corn that year and is satisfied that he made no provisions for his family by raising corn. He (Hancock) further states that the next year after her husband died , Mrs. Horn put her sons Matthew ,Aaron and William who were under age, to work with A Mr.Thomas Deal who together raised a crop of corn.

Joseph Proctor being sworn that he knew the same as to Aaron Horn coming to this country and death as stated by Stephen Hancock and is convinced that he did not raise any corn in this country as he recollects of his Horns renting some ground but before he planted, he differed from the person he rented of and gave it up.
He further stated that he had frequent conversations with Christopher Horn as to the manner of his getting the land from his mother in which conversation, He(C Horn said that he threatened his mother with a suit if she did not give it up, He claiming it as heir at law to his father until the old woman gave it up to him. He also said after he got it he did not care whether the right of the land came through his father or mother, He would be damned if he did not keep it for he had as good a right to it as anyone. He (Proctor) had frequently heard C Horn threaten to sue his mother if she did not give up the bond and the old woman appeared very uneasy about it, she being not able to read or write in English.

Jesse Hodges , being sworn stated that he was acquainted with Aaron Horn Sr., deceased and knows what is stated by Stephen Hancock to be accurate. He also stated that in or about the year 1786, C Horn had a case of this speaker and Mrs. Horn lived in a cabin near C Horn?s and under him and that while they lived there He ( Hodges) wrote the assignment on the bond from Mrs. Horn to C Horn, and He Hodges thinks the assignment was made in consequence of C Horn?s claiming the land as heir to his father and threatened to sue her for it. Question By Mrs. Horn Did you at the time of the writing of the assignment tell me that tell me you thought I was cheated? Answer At the time of the assignment I did not but some years after ward I told you I thought the assignment was fraudulently obtained and you ought to advertise it if you meant to contend for the land. I then at your request wrote about three advertisements(one of which is attached) and gave them to you to set up.

Copy of the advertisement
This is to forewarn all persons for trading for a bond given to me by James Estill for two hundred acres of land to be out of some of ye preemption that Estill cleared out of shares and (it is) assigned to Christopher Horn as the assignment was fraudulently obtained and I have forewarned Estill from making ye said Christopher Horn a right. I expect the said Horn to trade the bond off.
Elizabeth (X) Horn

William Horn, being sworn, states that he WM. came to this country with his father A Horn, and knows the statement made by Stephen Hancock to be accurate. The next year after his father came here, under the direction of his mother, He and his brothers Matthias and Aaron, all being under age worked with Mr. Thomas deal and raised a crop of corn in partners to help his mother, she having one half and Mr. Deal the other half. He further states that when C Horn came to this country some years later, He claimed the land as heir to his father and threatened to sue her and as she had but one or two cows, It would take them to fee a lawyer and she would lose them and the land too. That he continued his threats for a year or two until the old woman gave up the bond. After He got the bond he said he knew it was his mothers right but he wanted to get the title in his own hands before she knew it; he further said he (Wm.) set up advertisements similar to the one referred to by Jesse Hodges. One as set up at Irvine Lick and the other at Mrs. Woodruff?s. (Question by Jesse Noland) Have you any interest in the event of this cause? (Answer) My mother has said that she will give me part of the land if she gains it, but I never gave her anything for it and having but her word for it,. Christopher Horn also promised me fifty acres of land for taking care of his stock while he went into the old settlement.

Matthew Horn, being sworn, says that he agrees in the statement made by Hancock. He frequently heard C Horn before he got the bond threaten to sue his mother. The old woman frequently came to me and cried and told me of his threats and told me if he sued her it would take all she had left (the Indians having taken all of their horses and part of their cattle) and is convinced it was for fear of the trouble and expense of going to law that she gave up the bond. (Question by Noland) Have you any interest the event of this suit? (Answer} I do not expect to gain or lose one copper by it.

At a Circuit Court continued and held for the Circuit aforesaid at the Courthouse in Richmond on the 7th June 1803. This day came the parties by their attorneys and the court having considered the bill, depositions and exhibits in the cause, do order and decree that the assignment of the alluded to by Mrs. Horn in her bill from her to Christopher Horn be canceled and said obligation given up and further that the defendant, Benjamin Estill by the first day of September next convey 200 acres of land to Mrs. Elizabeth Horn by proper deed agreeable to the obligation assigned and that she recover of Christopher Horn her costs in this suit expended.

16 April 2013: Having borrowed several rolls of microfilm, I am disappointed that this court case was not found among them. Some of the microfilm were indexes, purposely borrowed to help pinpoint the records. Others appeared to be court case files but seemed to be more of a collection of warrants to appear in court. There are a couple more microfilm rolls labeled in a different collection but the years covered means that the complete court case may not be recoverable from them, IF such a case truly exists at all. A note to other researchers: Make an effort to document your sources and when possible, post copies of the original records so that others don't spend time and money repeating the same research over and over again. None of my research is for sale; all of the historical documents I recover are posted here in an effort to further the research.

Around February of 1822 Zachariah Phillips moved his family from Monroe County, Virginia to Scott County, Virginia ( Records show Scott County, Virginia but, this Scott County may actually have been in Kentucky). In 1825 the family moved again from Scott County, Kentucky to Estill County, Kentucky.
Two variations of death dates have been found. One from the DAR (1836) and the other from the ancestral file (1839). The 1839 date is probably closer to fact because according to Estill County records, "20 Jan. 1840, Letters of adm. granted to Benjamine Phillips on estate of Zachariah Phillips dec." Given this information, the date closer to 1840 is probably most accurate.

Birth:
In his deposition given to obtain a Revolutionary War pension in return for his service, Zachariah stated that he was sixty-seven years old as of the 9th of January, 1830 which agrees with the deposition he gave on behalf of Barbara Green-Meadows in which he stated that the year of his birth was 1763.

The following is a deposition given by Zachariah Phillips on behalf of his mother-in-law, Barbara Green-Meadows, who was the widow of Israel Meadows. In his deposition, Zachariah states the year of his birth as well as some approximations for the age of Nancy Meadows, his own deceased wife and child of Israel Meadows and Barbara. (See the Revolutionary War Pension file of Israel Meadows and Barbara).

The statement of Zachariah Phillips of Estill County, KY who being first duly sworn on the 5th day of October 1838 upon oath says that he was born in the year 1763 and first became acquainted with Israel Meadows aforesaid, about fifty years since in the county of Greenbrier and state of Virginia. That he and Barbara Meadows, his widow, who since signed the foregoing declaration living together as man and wife, and continued to do so, till the death of the said Israel, which took place, as he believes, in the month of September 1827, and that he never heard any one call in question the legality of their marriage. When he first became acquainted with the said Israel Meadows and wife at the time aforesaid, they had several children, the oldest of whom, by the name of Nancy, he afterwards married. His wife was at that time, fifty years ago, a girl eight or ten years old, and from what he has always understood as to the age of his deceased wife, she would, if living, be sixty years old the next spring. He thinks the place by the said Barbara Meadows as the place of their marriage, was at that time, Botetourt County, Virginia. He knows the said Barbara is the identical widow of Israel Meadows aforesaid, and that he drew a pension of ninety-six dollars per year in of his Revolutionary service, till his death, at the pension agency of the United States in Lexington, Kentucky, and that she has remained single since the death of the said deceased husband. Sworn and subscribed to . . . this day and year first above written.
