Note: NOTES: ((1)) As late as 1892-93, Sarah Elizabeth is listed in the Stone's Marion County Directory as a Hannibal farmer along with her stepson, "Thadeus Reddick." However, since she does not appear in the 1900 Census for Marion County, it is assumed she died before this date. ((2)) Family lore suggests that one of Phillip's wives was a "full-blooded" American Indian . And, it is further rumored that whichever wife this was may have been buried outside the Thrasher Chapel Cemetery because she was not a Christian. If true, this wife would be Philip' s second wife, Sarah Elizabeth Rogers as his first wife probably died in Iowa. ((3)) Philip and Sarah Elizabeth lived north of Hannibal, Missouri, near Clear Creek, in Marion County, on a 70-acre farm known as the "Old Rush Place. They lived in a two-room cabin, which Phillip reportedly built from white oak hewn with a broad axe, and there was a loft in which three generations of Reddick children were known to have slept. In later years, an addi tional room was added in the back for a separate kitchen and eating area. The farmhouse was destroyed by fire on Thanksgiving Day, 1976,and the land was eventually sold by the county for back taxes owed.
