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.
