Surnames: Phillips
I'm trying to work out the ancestry of my 2nd great-grandfather Uriah Barlow Phillips (c1836-1895.) He is listed on the 1851 Census as living with his older siblings Frederick J., Ahirah? and Phoebe. His parents apparently were deceased by that time.
Given that his oldest brother was named Frederick, his father may also have been Frederick but this is all I have to go on.

Perhaps this will help
Will of Frederick Phillips 7 Sept 1839

1st I bequest that beloved wife Mary-lot of farm I now reside.
I bequest to eldest son Zopher Phillips, farm in Lincoln, land bounded on East by Stephen and John Peabody and Andrew Smith and the Southeast by land owned by John Lincoln and contains 150 acres.

Thank you very much for the information. Everything seems to fit except for Uriah himself. Do you think the Isiah in the will refers to Uriah instead?
Is it possible to view the original will anywhere?

Thanks again,
Linda

I would have found the will in the New Brunswick Provincial Archive building and I do believe that Uriah and Isiah are one and the same based upon the will of Frederick Phillips and the 1851 census for Lincoln, Sunbury County.
I have Uriah being married to Hester Ann Nason on 7 Jan 1863.
Do you have any idea what happened to Ahriah [Ahrica] Phillips who was the older brother born in about 1828, mentioned in the will and also the 1851 census.

Thanks again for the information. I will contact the Archives and see if I can get a copy of the will.
I also have Uriah marrying Hester Ann Nason, but she must have died in about 1872 because I also have him marrying Amelia Clarke Doherty on 9 Sept 1875.
Uriah died on 27 Nov 1895.
I don't have any information on Ahriah/Ahrica but I will contact you if I find something. However, Mary Phillips is also in the 1851 census, living with Uriah's neighbours (Nasons) as a lodger.
