Phifers in White Co. TN

I have just recently started tracing my father's Phifer roots. My grandfather was Roy Russell Phifer (m. to Eunice Lorene Barnett); My g-grandfather was Samuel Clenney Phifer (m. to Alta Jane Hollingsworth). I found a Samuel C. Phifer in the 1880 (b.1874) census listing his parents as Edmond G. (b.1850) & Susan H. Phifer (b.1855). That is all the information I have been able to find.

Does anyone have an Edmond & Susan Phifer in their family lines?

thanks in advance,
Susan Phifer

Susan,
Although I don't have a Roy Phifer, I do have Samuel C. Phifer.
Samuel C. Phifer's father was Edward Edmund G. Phifer married to Susan H. Clenny.
This is what I have on Samuel C. Phifer: 1910 census, Samuel C. Phifer, wife listed as Mary A., 1900 census wife listed as Altie M. I would like to fill in the blanks as I am sure we have a match. All of the above are from White Co. TN.
Thanks, Bonnie Phifer

If you have read Bonnie's reply, you'll be on the right track.

Edward (Edd or Big Edd) Edmund Godard Phifer married Susan H Clenny

One of thier son's was Samuel Clenny Phifer who married Mary Alta "Attie" Jane Hollingsworth/Hollandsworth.

The Hollingsworth clan of White county and Van Buren county spelled their last name as Hollingsworth, Hollandsworth, Hollansworth, etc. It goes back to when very few family members were literate. As such, census enumerators, county clerks, etc. spelled the name phonetically on documents. Over time the variations stuck.

I have plenty of data, dates, ancestral lines, and such to share. Just let me know and I'll provide an email addy.
