This is Robert Monroe Phillips (b. 11/1/1851 d. 3/6/1926) and Cordelia ( Tennessee ) Russell (b. 4/15/1860 d. 3/17/1933). Robert worked for the government dredging the Tennessee River and later worked in Rockwood, Tenn at a rock quarry. There he lost an eye while blasting. Later in life he became a guard, guarding prisoners. Cordelia was the daughter of Taylor Russell, the son of Thomas J Russell, the son of William Russell, son of John Russell who came from Ireland and served in the Revolutionary War. These are my Great Grand parents.
