According to Rebecca Moon's rootsweb file, Abner Phillips was born 15 Sept 1737 in Hunterdon Co, NJ. His children included Ephraim, Cornelius, Prudence, Micajah, Abigail, Phillip, Sarah, George, Elizabeth and Rebecca. He is buried in the Greenwood Cemetery at Elkin, which is on the Yadkin River on the boundary between Surry Co and Yadkin Co.
