Have not found Phillip's birth certificate, have a copy of his will, estate inventory, and estate accounting but they yielded no new clues. Have been to the Germanna Colony reunion last year, very interesting, but their researchers also have no definite info on Philip other than that he married one of the colony's members, Barbar Yager Clore, a widow. I did, however, find a possible link in some grave records in Germany, which may be a brother and the mother of Philip though they spelled the name differently. Will have to gather all my notes to give you the specifics.
Would LOVE to come to a reunion...when and where? My grandmother apparently went to at least one Chelf reunnion sometime in the 60's in Kentucky...I remember seeing pictures and her telling me...but I can't find the picture or any reference to it now.
