Generation No. 2


2. HUBERT L.4 PHILLIPS (ELIZA PENELOPE3 LESUEUR, CHARLES MARION2, THOMAS LITTLEBERRY1) was born August 1876 in Texas, and died 1953. He married ELEANOR.

Notes for HUBERT L. PHILLIPS:

1920 LA census, Lafayette Co., Lafayette City, page 168A, ED 35, enumerated

on 12 & 13th of January, 1920.

Philip, Hubert, 42, married, LA LA LA Machinist, Railroad

", Eleanor, wife, 36, married LA LA LA

", Milstead, daughter, 14, LA LA LA

"Milstead" sounds like a male name, but in the relationship column,

"daughter' is definately written, and in the sex column, "F". Hubert's place

of birth and that of his parents is incorrect, but we've seen before how

screwed up census info can be. Maybe "Milstead" is a boy !?!?

Could the following be our Hubert Phillips?

Database: Camp Travis, Texas World War I Records found on Ancestory.com

Surname Given Name Rank Unit Staff Company Page #

Phillips Hubert L. Private 53rd Machine Gun Battalion Company "B" 108




Child of HUBERT PHILLIPS and ELEANOR is:
