No, I do not have a son named Jesse b} 1836 to Amos Phares and his wife, Elizabeth (Herron)Phares. However they were married on 7 May 1835 in Ohio. Therefore, he could possibly be a child. The children I have for them are: 1)William Phares b} 24 nov 1844 in OH, d} 24 Oct 1922 in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH. He m} Catherine Andrew; 2) Richard Penny Phares b} 2 Mar 1846 in Harrison, OH d} 20 Sep 1922 in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH m} Unknown; 3) Charles Phares b} 2 Mar 1846 Harrison, OH d} 29 Dec 1910 in Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH m} Unknown.

Also I have a Jesse PHARES b} 1834 son of Uriah and Barbars (Judy)Phares, Jesse m} Elizabeth Dunn on 20 Oct 1853 in Tipton Co., IN. He and Elizabeth had 7 children: 1) Nancy b} 1856 in Tipton Co., IN; 2) Barbary Phares b} 1857 in IN; 3) Uriah J. Phares b} 1858/1859 in IN; 4) Levi Phares b} 1860 in IN; 5) William Henry Phares b} 1864 in IN; 6) Sarah Phares b} 1866 in IN; 7) Amos Phares b} 1868/1869.

Hi,
I am looking for a Jesse Phares born 1836 in Ohio who later moved to Jefferson, Indiana, possibly the son of Amos Phares who was born in 1810 in Hamilton OHio, and died there in 1846. Do you have him in your database? Thank you in advance.

Bonnie, Sorry I can provide no information on Sarah A. Pharis/Phares and John Henry Weight/Wait. I have found, however during my research that Phares/Phares has been used for spelling within the family.

Re: PHARES FAMILY

Hi, I'm hoping you have info on my Pharis family. I have a Sarah A. Pharis b. 1824, don't know where, married John Henry Weight [Wait] in 1850, Morrow co. Ohio. Noticed in 1840 census a William Pharis living in Morrow co. but don't know if he's related. Sarah died 1856 in Marion co. Ohio. We have searched for information on Sarah's family without any luck. Thanks, Bonnie

I am looking for the family of Sarah A. Phares, born around 1824, not sure where. She lived in Morrow co. Ohio in 1840's and married John Henry Weight[Wait] in 1850. I noticed a William Phares in 1850 census, Franklin twp. Morrow co. Ohio but don't know if same family.

Abigail Phares, b.1840, married Joseph Mullenax

deespol2 — 2009-06-28 15:13:23Z

seeking relatives of this line. She married Joseph in pendleton co, WV, then they traveled to IOWA and the family eventually ended up in KS. not sure where she died or where she is buried. The name was obviously very important to the family. My ggrandfather, jacob Phares Mullenax had the middle name and my grandmother, Etta rich named her oldest son Jacob Phares as well. I am the great great grandaughter of them, ggrandaughter of their son Jacob Phares Mullenax who married Cynthia Phillips, granddaughter of their daughter Etta Mullenax. I live in CA and would love to have contact with others on this line. thanks. denise spolerich

Re: Mary Viola Phares

My information shows John Phares 1680, a Robert William Phares b 1707/10 sp Agnes M Johnson, William 1734 sp Mary Hutchinson, William B 1754 sp Amy Holloway m 1787. Then I have ch Robrt Joseph William George & Johnston. Was your line a daughter?

I see now that we are on different lines at the end. We are John 1680, Robert William 1710/12, John 1736 mar Rebecca, John abt 1760-65, Charles 1792. Do you know anything about the Johns?

Re: Mary Viola Phares

leezuker1 — 2009-05-14 14:25:22Z

not sure why all of this is under Mary Viola, since her line is: john(1680), william (1700),William (1730, William B. (1754, Thomas Ferman(1802),William Wallace(1825), Mary Viola(1856)

Mary Viola was my great grandmother.

In any case I don't have any info on your line, except where it coincides with mine at the top end. I have your Robert being born in 1702, but found that on an on-line data base, so I wouldn't count on it being correct...but it seems to fit with the other brothers. will be glad to help wherever I can.

Re: Mary Viola Phares

mmericle14 — 2009-05-14 04:13:08Z

Thank you. I wonder if you know of my Charles b 1792 NJ, son of John b abt 1760 NJ then son of John b 1736 NJ. He is son of Robert W Phares B abt 1710 Burlington NJ. Charles married in 1819 in Lebanon, Warren Co OH to Theodocia Hutchinson of NJ. I also need to know of Charles siblings. My e-mail is mmericle14@msn.com

Re: Robert Phares m. Jane Brown - Hamilton County, Ohio

mmericle14 — 2009-05-14 00:10:48Z

Do you know anything about the parents and further back on this line? My line hooks up about 2 generations back with John who came to Hamilton Co OH in the early 1800's.

Re: Robert Phares m. Jane Brown - Hamilton County, Ohio

I made contact with Pauline McKinney from that line. Do you know her? She was born in 1922. She is through William -brother of your Robert]. Check her out with the LDS records & See Goodrich - Funfrock fam film at LDS 1598298 item 3. My information may be too far back for you but if you check the land records of John Phares in Hamilton Co OH,Crosby twp - Vol 38 p. 135, you will find the heir of john Phares where Robert's father William gets land. William's, spouse Naomi - mar abt 1790 - chldren are: John, Isaac, William - have fam, Robt, Samuel, Amos, Elizabeth, Naomi, Mary, Nancy, Jerusha. I have lots of tid bits of info & contacts I acquired over the years.

Re: Lena Belle Phares Family - Grayson County, TX

972klj — 2008-04-27 04:23:38Z

Since I responded to your other posting, I have talked with my mother and my Great Aunt, who is the last living daughter of Sadie. She said that her mother's name was Sadie, but that her sister Lena called her Sarah. That was why her name was listed as Sarah on the census. She also said that Lena married a Robertson, but could not remember his first name. The James Travis Lewis, makes sense, but I am not sure about the Ida Lewis Gaddis, only guessing here, but Jim had a daughter born in 1887 and her name was Ida L -- info from 1900 Census - Grayson CO, TX. My Great Aunt told my mother that she has some pictures that she had been saving--Helvey and Lewis. The pictures that I have of Sadie are all later in life. Would gladly share info and pictures that I have.

Re: Lena Belle Phares Family - Grayson County, TX

972klj — 2008-04-23 01:11:18Z

The only information that I have been able to verify are Sadie's parents names - William J Lewis and Mary Ann Helvey. This info from Sadie's death cert. I did find on the 1900 census/Grayson Co the following: T623_1640, Page 6B: James Lewis, Nov 1863 37, TX/MO/TN head; Mary, mother Dec 1841, 58 wd TN/VA/TN (she states 3 children born/living, but I think that this info is incorrect); Ida L dau Oct 1887, TX/TX/MS; Claude S son TX/TX/MS; Lena sister, April 1881 TX/MO/TN and Sarah, sister March 1885, TX/MO/TN. I did find a Mary Lewis living in Howe in 1910 (which is very close to where they were living in 1900). She states that she has 10 children/9 living. Living with her is a son Daniel 35 and Lena 29. Sadie and her husband are buried at Akers Cemetery in Sherman. This is a fairly large cemetery, but alot of family is buried there, but I didn't find her parents there. If any of this information is helpful or atleast let's me know that I am going in the right direction please let me know. Have lots of information on Sadie's and Marion Phares children -- they were my GGrandparents.

Re: Phares in Webster County, WV

The foster parents were Christian BICKEL and Hannah SPILLMAN Bickel. The foster children I have for them in addition to my ggg-grandfather, Johns S. PHARES are: Andrew (last name unknown); Dianne (last name unknown); Martha (last name unknown, went by Bickel) married Amos THARP; Sarah Jane McBAIN/McBANE married Andrew William WARE; Nancy GREEN married Jesse CLIFTON; and Malinda McBAIN/McBANE. This may not be an exhaustive list of their foster children but these are all I have.

For some reason I have overlooked your message, perhaps because my wife and I share this message board and I don't look at it consistently. If you are stiil looking for information about Robert Phares and his family let me know. My great-grandfather, Martin Van Buren Phares, was Matilda's brother. My grandfather was Leora Phares, and his daughter, Ursie, was my mother. Are you descended from Enoch Rhoads or James Kemper?

Re: Robert Phares m. Jane Brown - Hamilton County, Ohio

bookslover — 2009-05-07 15:57:52Z

I would be glad to share any "Phares" information. I have traced Robert to Hamilton County, Crosby Township; however I think his father was William rather John. It does not help that the family used a handful of names over and over each generation! I have my William's father as John P. My Robert had, I think, 10 siblings,but CHARLES R. is new to me. Some of my information comes from other "trees," and I'm never sure how much information is just recirculated. However, a "tree' from Elihu F. Phares does have attached documentation that matches my information. Let's see what we can find out by comparing our findings.

Re: Elkins, WV - Myrtle Phares

bookslover — 2008-08-20 15:05:50Z

My mother was a Phares from a Robert Phares who settled in Shelby County, Indiana in the 1830s. I remember a family from West Virginia who attended family reunions, and our family visited them when we passed through the state on a trip in the 1950s. I do not recall their name, however. I believe Robert was a son of a William who was born in New Jersey and came to Hamilton County, Ohio around 1800. Is there any connection with our branches of the family, and can you fill in any information if we share common ancestors?

Phares, Lebanon, Warren Co OH back to NJ

mmericle14 — 2009-05-09 00:48:12Z

I have Charles R Phares b.1792 in NJ [Possibly Burlington Co NJ]. He married Theodocia Hutchinson - b. Burlington Co NJ in 1819 in Lebanon, Warren Co OH. His father is John Pharis son of the John Pharis who came to Hamilton Co OH & whose children were: Charles father - John [who stayed in NJ], Robert, William [mar Naomi abt 1790], James, Washington [mar Pamela Looker 1812 in OH] and Rebecca [mar John Herron]. Need birth record and other family records in NJ. Need names of siblings of Charles. Have family letter about land in OH.

Re: Robert Phares m. Jane Brown - Hamilton County, Ohio

mmericle14 — 2009-05-09 00:21:52Z

I rechecked my info & think I confused the generations. Your Robert is the son of William Phares b.19 Feb 1765 in Burlington NJ, d Dec 1839 sp Naomi. William's father is John born about 1760/70 NJ & moved to Hamilton Co OH abt 1800 with children: Robert, your William, James, Washington [mar Pamela Looker] & Rebecca. His other son John stayed in NJ & is father of my Charles. Have copy of letter to my Charles signed by aunt Pamela talking about the land distribution of John to his children. Also have names of your Robert's siblings. I have charted Phares back to NJ but don't have my Charles birth in NJ. He married a Hutchinson of NJ in Warren Co OH 1819.

Re: Mary Viola Phares

mmericle14 — 2009-05-09 00:01:55Z

Hi,
I think your William W Phares may be the son of William B Phares b. 1754 NJ, married Amy Holloway 1787 in NJ and died in Butler Co OH 1825[?]. His siblings are Robert, Joseph, George &?[total of 10 children] I don't have the next generation your way though. This might give you some uncles to look for too.

John is believed to be from Ireland moved to New Jersey where he died. His son William (1700) moved to Tennessee Smith County. Does this help you? Which side or decent to fall under?

Elkins, WV - Myrtle Phares

ZWeese — 2008-08-02 22:10:53Z

I'm trying to figure out the parents of my great-grandfather (Bernard Lee Weese b.1878), and one of my few clues is he had a sister with the married name of Myrtle Phares. As of 1949 she was living in Elkins, WV. He was born in Beverly, WV, so I assume she was as well.

Re: Elkins, WV - Myrtle Phares

I did find a marriage between

Hi,
Mine starts with my G-Grandmother MARGARET Elizabeth Phares b. Dec 1873 West Virginia, and married John Wesley Tharp on 01 Oct 1891 in Webster, West Virginia..
her parents are Andrew Jackson Fares, Phares..b.Abt. 1842 in Braxton Co., WV and married Mary A. "Polly" Smith b. April 1851 in Va..
His parents are John S. Fares, Phares b. 1819 in Pendleton Co., VA and married Cynthia WOODS...Thats about as far as we have gotten..
This has been said,
"As yet, no record of John S. Phares' birth parents has been found; however, the writer feels that in all likelihood, Johnson Phares and Sarah Negley Phares of Pendleton County, Virginia are his grandparents. His parents could be Solomon Phares and Elizabeth Vandevender Phares or one of Solomon's unmarried sisters. Further research must be done to prove this theory, however."
But can find no proof..
And this has been said,
"Christian and Hannah (Spillman) Bickel might have raised him."
But still we have no proof...So, alot of us are in search of his parents..
But I don see you and I connected...All of my Phares and on is from Va. and WV...
Thanks for getting back to me..

Re: Phares in Webster County, WV

Would you know if any of the foster children raised by the Phares would be any of Arl Tenney and Sarah V. Hartman Tenney's children. She died in the flu epidemic in 1918 leaving four children.

Re: Phares in Webster County, WV

Constance_Crowl — 2008-04-26 12:51:38Z

Thank you for your reply. I found an Edward C. Tenney listed as an adopted son living with Horace and Anna Phares in Valley Bend, WV in 1930. He may have been a foster son. Arl and Sarah's children were Lillian Naricss, b 1910, Violet Louella, b. 1913, Edward Arl, b. 1915, and Patsy Arizona Rebina, b. 1918. Patsy is listed as adopted. Thank you again.

Everett Lang Phares

jenrightr — 2009-03-02 23:49:34Z

Am attempting to locate Patricia Kamakee Phares, daughter of Everett Lang Phares and Lydia Kamakee Vaughan Phares Livingston. She born about 1947.
Everett Lang Phares was born October 5, 1908 in Danville, Kentucky, and died July 4, 1967 in Palomus, Mexico. She lived for a time with her grandmother, Mrs. Walter Phares, in Maryland.

Re: Everett Lang Phares

jenrightr — 2009-03-03 16:29:18Z

don't know if that is the Patricia I am looking for. Would be hard to accept that she would still be in high school at the age of 22. Might be a family connection, however.

Thanks, I will look around that area for others, however.

Re: Lena Belle Phares Family - Grayson County, TX

SharonRoss321 — 2008-04-26 17:38:28Z

I think that you are going in the right direction.

My paternal grandmother was Cora Lewis. I have a couple of pictures of of her sister Lena Born in 1881. They had a brother named Claude and another sister named Sadie. I think that there was also a brother named Ben. One of the pictues has a brother listed as James Travis Lewis and an Ida Lewis Gaddis, but I don't know who wrote it. It could have been Lena. It also states on another photo of Lena that her parents names were W. J. and Mary Ann Lewis.

It could be that the Sadie Phares you mentioned is the Sadie from my family.

Lena married a man named Otis Robertson. Cora (my Grandmother) married a man named Virgil Niell.

Came across your inquiry and was wondering if you know anything about Sadie Lewis family. Did she have sisters named Cora and Lena? A brother named Claud?
