Comments

(A Richard Phillips appears on the 1774 Surry Co tax list as the son of Joseph Phillips. Richard must have been born by 1758 to be at least 16 years old in 1774 and he is not mentioned in the bible of Joseph Phillips, Sr, which indicates he was either illegitimate or perhaps a son by a second marriage.)
