Phillip Cox

Phillip,

I think your William Lowry Holloway was the son of George Whitfield Holloway and Henrietta Mitchell of Bledsoe's Creek in Sumner County, Tennessee. I don't have documentary evidence of that, but it fits within a conceptual framework. My Holloways were on the southside of Sumner County on Drake's Creek. It's taken me a long time to build the fence between the two families, but I think the line you're working on is of the Bledsoe's Creek family. Happy to do what I can to help prove that.

Cheers, Joe

thank you for information on swains

Thank you for all of your recent additions to the Cheek family. It looks like you had a busy afternoon.

It looks like you may have some outstanding merges that need attention. You can find them by following the link at the top of this page under >My Wikitree>Watchlist, then hit the button that says Pending Merges. If you need help, just ask.

Thanks for helping with Wikitree If you don't have the time or interest in actively managing profiles on WikiTree remove yourself from some profiles. You can also suspend your participation or permanently close your account.

So, another 14 added to the CLANTON on WikiTree. Thank you, Phillip, for your efforts. Today is the day I rework my "names followed" list and with a some sighs, I remove Cloudt and Clanton, replacements yet to be determidned. I only hope others will pay attention to not only your contributions but to those of the many others who add to the large (and growing) family profiles at WikiTree. I know from first hand how much goes into adding or creating a profile without the use of gedcom loading. But to compile the information and add the sources to the gedcom, and then load the gedcom, and work through the contents, one by one, in order to add them, is no less a labor, and IMO, a much greater labor of time and energy expended. I respect the amount of work that must be done when using a gedcom. (You could not PAY me to put myself through that !!! 😁🤪)

😁 There's no question but what you are 'working' on these Clanton people. If you are putting in the same time and effort for the other names you follow, you will turn out to be one of the top 500 Profile Managers. (Same as a 'Top 100' but there's so MANY profile managers at WT!!)

Ah, Phillip Cox, you are remarkable. Just in the process here of thanking you 21 times for your Clanton Family profiling efforts. That's 21 times for your 21 addeds or edits.

Good thing I checked further, found another 13 Clanton edits or adds.

{Whatever you do don't fall for the latest virus - 10 days sick, fever, cough, sneeze ... truly nasty stuff. So I'm now catching up on my WT)

Howdy Phillip,

Thanks for adding sources!

There can be a bit of a learning curve to WikiTree, but once you figure it out, it is a great place to interact with other family historians.

By the way - I notice that you are using "FamilySearch Trees" as your source on these profiles. As we are a collaborative tree, it would be a great help if you could be a bit more explicit about your sources. For instance: If these are from a family bible or work done by another family member that you inherited or a birth or death certificate, giving specifics will help others know where the information comes from. Anything would be helpful.

Here is what our Sources help page says. It has lots of ideas: Help:Sources, Help:Reliable Sources, Help:Pre-1700 Profiles#Cite reliable sources, Inline Citations Detailed Instructions

Thanks for joining WikiTree. Looking forward to your contributions!

Hello Phillip

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Thank you for the recent "Jones" additions to Wikitree. They are connections to me via Miles-McCartney-Morse. I love connections!

Well, Phillip, another 14 Clanton profiles placed at WikiTree. Impressive.😁 The current (momentary) status on your roster of being thanked for your contributions is 38 (at the moment) but here comes another 14 (from me) to sing along with the 20+ from the other day. (My mouse-hand may never forgive me. )

Ha ha Phillip😁 U will see a MASSIVE influx of 20+ thank you for the

• "John Wesley Clanton (1893-1961)," WikiTree: The Free Family Tree, (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Clanton-1126 : accessed 30 April 2025).

:May I say WOW since these additions of yours would have at some point in time absorbed your attention and efforts. An impressive effort on your part, in fact.

• I also took the liberty of adding a = Research Notes = section ref the materials on the memorial site.
• BTW, there is a conflict 😩 in the Place of Birth info tween the memorial site and this profile at WT which should be resolved.

Hi Phil,

Apparently you descend from Margaret grace and her mother Molly Tierney Jones. You don't show up in 23andme as a cousin. Perhaps its some marriage relation between a parent and Margaret Grace??? Have you uploaded DNA to GEDMATCH?

Thank you for signing the WikiTree Honor Code! We're happy to have you as a new Wiki Genealogist. Make sure to check out the Intro to WikiTree page to learn how to get involved: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:How_to_Use_WikiTree

Hi Phillip,

We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.

Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
