Wanda...I desperately need to know the father of the Joel from Illinois who settled in Reynolds county, Missouri. Some say his father was Philip C. while others say it was Philip's brother Abraham. I know they both had a son named Philip (Phillip) C. Do you believe they both had a son named Joel? These names were heavily recycled in the Buffington family for more than 100 years. Anyway, who is the father of Joel who married Elizabeth Gaston. Please help me...Doug Buffington
