Text of Record
"Brother George Hartmann came to me with Mr. Tom Philipps and brought the news that tomorrow Capt. Macay would come to our settlement and suggested that it might be well for the men to meet him at a certain place and come to an understanding with him. With this in view, the men of the Society met in the School House this evening and resolved that tomorrow a Declaration of our position should be sent to the Captain."
Comments
(Quote from Volume III of Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. I don’t know who this Tom Philipps is. I have found no Tom Phillips recorded in the early Surry County Tax Lists. Perhaps Tom is a misinterpretation of Jos, the abbreviation for Joseph.)
