| NC Record 001 + | (Quote from Volume One of Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. Joseph Phillips’ homestead was located on the east side of the Yadkin River “beyond” or west of Muddy Creek. To me, this quote indicates that Joseph Phillips was an Englishman who was sympathetic to the Moravians and their religion. The Moravians were German/Czechoslovakians from Pennsylvania who spoke German and practiced a religion similar to the Quakers. They were against war and slavery. The Moravians called themselves the United Brethren. They also tended to spell Phillips as Phelps. Several descendants of Joseph Phillips have been DNA tested and their DNA indicates they belong to Phillips Family DNA Group 29.) + |
| NC Record 002 + | (Note that Surry County was not carved out of Rowan County until 1770. This could either be Joseph Phillips Sr born circa 1710 or Joseph Phillips Jr. born 9 May 1738. My guess is that it is Joseph Phillips Jr.) + |
| NC Record 003 + | (Quote from Volume One of Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. Phelps is an alternative Germanic spelling of Phillips.) + |

| NC Record 006 + | (Quote from the diary of Moravian minister Rev. Soelle contained in Volume Two of Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. The Regulators of North Carolina were resisting British rule and oppression in the form of heavy taxation and extortion which culminated in the battle of Alamance Creek in May of 1771, where they were defeated by Gov. Tryon. This battle took place near Hillsborough, the present day capital of Orange County, NC. It is said that 1,500 former Regulators left NC by 1772.) + |
| NC Record 007 + | (This is probably Joseph Phillips of Orange Co VA age approximately 61 born circa 1710 and his son Joseph Jr. age 33 born 9 May 1738. Who is Joseph Jr’s second poll – possibly his brother William? Joseph Sr. was married to Mary (Bennett?) and Joseph Jr. was married to Philadelphia Snell. George Fulps died in Surry County in 1786 leaving a will which names his wife Mary and his children Valentine, Michael, Peter, Mary Taylor and Catharine Fulps. George Fulp/Fulps/Folp,Volp was closely associated with the Moravians, although it does not appear that he was a Moravian.) + |
| NC Record 011 + | (son of Joseph and Mary Phillips, b. 12/5/1740, age 34?) + |
| NC Record 012 + | (Richard Phillips is not mentioned in the bible that belonged to Joseph Phillips, but this might be because he was illegitimate. Richard Phillips must have been born by 1758 to be at least 16 years old in 1774. Richard was known as Black Dick. Note that John Low served as executor of the will of George Fulps in 1786 and Thomas Low, a German, witnessed that will. Note that there is only one Joseph Phillips on the tax list this year. Is it possible that Joseph Phillips Jr. has gone north to guide his brother Bennett to NC?) + |
| NC Record 013 + | (relative of George Fulps or Abner Phelps?) + |
| NC Record 014 + | (James Bohanon was an English Surry County constable. He ran a splinter in his foot about 15 July and died from the infection.) + |
| NC Record 015 + | (The Jr. after Joseph’s name probably indicates that his father was still alive in 1774. Forbush Creek is a tributary of the Yadkin River located in the southern part of Surry County that became Yadkin Co in 1851. I suspect Forbush Creek was named for George Forbis.) + |
| NC Record 016 + | {Transcription comments in brackets actual text of record} + |
| NC Record 020 + | (From Volume III of Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. This Capt. Volp might be Capt. Joseph Phillips, but there was also a family of Volp/Fulp living in Surry County at this time and at least two of them served in the Revolution. Furthermore, Joseph Phillips does not appear to have received his commission as captain until April of 1776. Colonel John Armstrong was in the 2nd North Carolina Brigade of the Surry County Militia and he served under Brigadier General Griffith Rutherford in the Battle of Camden, South Caroline, 16 Aug 1780.) + |
| NC Record 021 + | (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.) + |

| NC Record 029 + | (Note: Loose estate papers at NC archives. Bennett, Joseph and William Phillips were the sons of Joseph and Mary Phillips from Orange Co, VA. Bennett Phillips was only 42 years old when he died. His brother Joseph was 38 and his brother William was 36. Bennett’s son Joseph was born June 26, 1757 so he was 19 in 1776. Andrew Phillips was probably also the son of Bennett, because Joseph Phillips identified him as his brother in his Will which was probated in Williamson County, TN in 1833. Andrew Phillips appears on the Surry County NC tax list in 1784, but disappears after that. He appears to have died in Pickens Co, AL in 1833. Several descendants of Bennett Phillips of Surry Co NC have been DNA tested and their DNA indicates they belong to Phillips Family DNA Group 29.) + |
| NC Record 031 + | (Quote from Volume III of Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. This probably refers to Wilmington, the capital of New Hanover County, North Carolina.) + |
| NC Record 032 + | (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.) + |
