It would appear that perhaps during the Civil War, there was some sort of epidemic. Information is that Eglatine died 1 Jun 1864. There are 4 children that were listed in 1860 that do not appear again. Phillip's wife and two children are not there in 1870. The mother, Aurora Proctor Hoy also died in the intervening years. There is no indication what happened to her considerable property and the slaves have been freed greatly reducing the families personal property value. I would think the two females working in the household were likely former slaves of the family.
