father James Doyle (gardner), mother Caroline
1870 - He is found working as a gardner for the wealthy Preston
family. He could have worked for the estate in Virginia or Tennessee
since the border is right here. Shortly after this when Elmira
was about 11 or 12 years old she apparently marries to Peter
Phipps. See the 1900 Census.

enum. dist. 79. sheet 12. Catherine says that she has had 4
children with three surviving. The third child
doesn't show up on this census. What is really interesting about
this census is that Catherine says that she was only ten or eleven
years old when she married Peter. Robert was born when
she was sixteen but there was probably at least one other child
before this. We have no 1890 Census to verify this or
identify the child.
