I'm looking for the name of the wife of William J. (Jasper) Phillips, of Clarksville, Montgomery County, TN. He was born Feb. 11, 1844. I have his parents; I have his children. I cannot find his wife. Since their daughter was born in 1872, I would think they'd be on there. If not, the 1880. His daughters' name was Eula Mae Coleman Phillips. I have access to neither of these. Please help; I've been looking for her name for years.

He was a wagonmaker in Clarksville. I have pictures. I know he was there. That he's not on the census confuses me. What can that mean?

Coleman was her grandfathers' name, since she had no brothers her father named her after him. He lived in Clarksville, which is the county seat now and was then. There's a 12 year period missing, during which time he got married. The only other place the family lived is Nashville, but I know for a fact that he never lived there. Besides, he owned a business; he'd have been called back to the county to account for his property during the census.
