The Affidavit of Death filed on 4 May 1872 for James A. Phillips stated that
he might have heirs in Morgan County, Indiana.  In the 1850 census there were
families named Williams in Hazelwood, Hendricks County, Indiana, one mile

may have been related to James and Joseph Phillips (more on this below).

Joseph’s second wife, Marian Helen Guilliams, the mother of his children,
was born 2 September 1840 in Putnam County, Indiana.  Her father, Richard
Sanford Guilliams, son of William Guilliams and Sarah Ferguson, was born
c. 1812 in Franklin County, Virginia.  He died c. 1847 in Newport, Campbell,
Kentucky, on his way to the Mexican War.  Her mother, Merab Brown, daughter
of William Brown and Eva Kingery, was born 31 December 1815 in Preble County,
Ohio.  According to handwritten family records, she married Richard Sanford
Guilliams in Niles, Cass, Michigan, but moved shortly thereafter to Russell
Township, Putnam County, Indiana, where R. S. Guilliams (aged 20-29) is
listed in the 1840 census with a wife (aged 20-29) and a daughter under 5
(Sarah, born 27 September 1839), and after that moved to Marion County,
Indiana.  According to handwritten family records, Richard Sanford Guilliams
was the “Son of a Scotchman” and Merab Brown’s parents were “Virginians.”

On 29 March 1848, in Berrien County, Michigan, Merab Brown married Joseph W.
Lykins (born 1 March 1802).  Listed in the 1850 United States census for

In 1854 the Lykins family moved to Kansas, where Marion’s mother Miraba (sic)
Lykins appears on the 1860 census rolls for Paola Village, Lykins County,
