Comments
(Today N. Hunting Creek is located in the southwest corner of Yadkin County. I don't think this George Phillips is the same person as George Fulps, because George Fulps lived and died in the Belew's Creek area which was located on the extreme eastern side of Surry County. Hunting Creek was located on the extreme western side of Surry County. This George Phillips might have been related to Abner Phillips b 1737 in Hunterdon Co NJ. Abner supposedly had a son name George. However, this George was probably born by 1757 and probably earlier in order to enter and improve land by 1778, so it may not be the same George. Descendants of Abner Phillips have been DNA tested and their DNA matches that of Phillips Family DNA Group 20.)
