Query: Since my original inquiry December 13, 1997, Vera of the Baxter County Historical Society has confirmed that my Grandfather, John Phaby, was married in Baxter County Arkansas July 4, 1903 to Clara Fout. I have also obtained a copy of my Grandfather's death certificate which indicates his parents were Thomas Phaby and Nancy Brown Cook and that John Phaby was born March 15, 1880 in Laclede County, Missouri. The birth parent information for my grandfather was provided by my father and it's conceivable that a spelling error of the name "Phaby" occurred with my grandfather. One possible alternate spelling is "Pheby". If anyone can help with information concerning Thomas and Nancy Brown Phaby or Pheby, please send me an E-Mail. Thanks.
