There are many who dispute James full name. James went by several names James, Frank and JFS. At the Henry County Courthouse his initials JFS Phillis is listed for marriage and children’s birth. I have his watch fob with the initals JFSP on it. Grandma (Gail Isabelle) Shaklee scratched out Shaklee part in the family Bible as she did not want anyone to know that she and Grandpa (Silas Sheldon) were related before marriage. Several Census records list him as JFS Phillis.
The attendants to James and Emma’s wedding were MW Steven and V E Moody who were married July 31, 1886.
According to the Census, James and Emma left Henry Co, IL and went to Beverly, Washington County, OH as Virgil , Granger and Og were born in Ohio. They were living in Morgan County Ohio at the time of the 1900 Census.
James was the youngest child and reported spoiled. He went by different names in different areas which makes one wonder what he was doing that he shouldn’t. He was the only one in his family to move very far west (Illinois). What caused him to pack up his family and move to Ohio? What kind of trouble was he in or caused?
In the 1910 Census, Emma and children were living in Henry County Illinois and James was living in Nebraska using the name John FS Phillis. In the 1920 Census Emma was living with Gail and Silas “Sheldon” in Henry County Illinois. She came to live with them when Evelyn was born as she was such a tiny baby.
Were James and Emma divorced?? It is said that Emma kicked James out of the house when he started getting abusive to the children. Most people agree that James deserted the family. Emma packed up the family and moved back to Henry County, IL. It is believed her brothers sent her money to achieve this. She came back with 7 children. (Og Phillis) Emma spent the rest of her life living from one place to another, never having a home of her own.

Was James married to Catherine Wilson, daughter Hilda Phillis??? In Ohio
Did Catherine die? What happened to Hilda?? (Lois Miller disc 27 pin 229810 lds)
Could this marriage have happened when James and Emma went back to Ohio and caused them to split???

James was killed by a bull. (aleigha)

Was Ray the one who was pushed off some steps and died from head injuries? Did he die in OH? Was his body brought back to IL or it just a stone at Clover Chapel?
