| NC Record 003 + | “This afternoon there was an unpleasant occurrence in our Tavern. A man, Sam Moore, came in and met Joseph Phelps, who is a Constable. Moore was angry, knowing that Phelps had a Warrant against him and wanted to arrest him, and although Phelps told him that he did not have the Warrant with him, Moore cocked his gun and shot at Phelps, the ball passing through his clothing, though it fortunately did not hit him. Brother Jacob Boon had Moore arrested and having heard the case, he ordered him bound and taken to jail at Salisbury by Constable Phelps and three other men.” + |

| NC Record 019 + | 25 and 26 Aug 1775 Benjamin Cleveland was elected Chairman of the Surry County Committee of Safety on August 25, 1775. The Surry County Committee of Safety adopted the following resolution: *Resolved, That we determine by all lawful ways and means to discontinue and suppress such mischievous and baneful papers and all combinations against the common cause of American liberty, and do our utmost endeavors to support the Congress in defending our just rights and liberties. *Resolved, That those who now would subject all America and this province to dependency on the Parliament of Great Britain are guilty of a very dangerous innovation, injurious to the Crown and inconsistent with the liberty of the American subjects. *Resolved, That by the law of nature and the British constitution no man can be legally taxed or have his property taken from him without his consent, given by himself or his representative. *Resolved, That the late acts of the British Parliament for raising a revenue in America by laying taxes on us without our consent and against our protestation, are opposite to our ideas of property, and inconsistent with the spirit of the constitution and does in fact at one stroke deprive the whole continent of all property, and of their most invaluable rights and liberties. *Resolved, That this committee highly approve the proceedings of the Continental Congress held in Philadelphia in September last, and that we will endeavor to carry their recommendation into execution. *Resolved, That the worthy delegates who represented this province in said Congress deserve our warmest and most grateful thanks for the faithful discharge of their office and that Colonel Armstrong present them in our names and in behalf of this county. *Resolved, That the different captains of this country do call their companies together at their usual places to exercise on Saturday the second day of September, in order to choose three in each respective company as committeemen, and those men truly elected shall meet in committee on Wednesday, the 20th day of September next, at the court house in said county. *Resolved, That a part of this committee, viz: Charles Lynch, John Armstrong and Matthew Brooks be appointed to wait on the Moravians in order to procure ammunition if any found. Also that Traugott Bagge, Jacob and George Houser, appointed of the Moravian congregation to set as a committee with us at this meeting, to give a more satisfactory answer for their non-attendance and give in the same personally at our next meeting, the 20th of September next. *Resolved, that we for ourselves and do recommend it to others, to issue no warrant for debt or execution except such that have been obtained already before this date, and if any debtor is likely to remove himself so that there is just cause to believe the creditor will lose his debt, he shall, or may apply, to the committee of the district the debtor lives in, ad which will take it in hand to secure the debt by taking security or stopping a reasonable part of his affects for the same. *Resolved, That Benjamin Cleveland, Jesse Walton and Benjamin Herndon, wait on Mr. Charles Gordon to secure all the ammunition they shall find in his possession. *Resolved, Likewise if any person of this committee should find out any ammunition in this country they shall be justified in securing the same for public service by giving security to the possessor thereof. + |
| NC Record 020 + | “Capt. Volp visited our English Settlement and took their guns and the little powder they had. Daniel Schmid had to swear that he would do nothing against the liberty of the land; then when he declared himself a Brother and told them that during the recent Commission in Salem Col. Armstrong had received full satisfaction, they returned one of his guns but kept the other, for which the Captain gave him a receipt. George Loesch came back from the troop and went home; probably others will follow him.” + |
| NC Record 021 + | "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." + |
| NC Record 022 + | Joseph Phillips appointed captain from Surry County. (According to "The Heritage of Yadkin Co., NC", p. 539, Joseph was born in May 1738 and was a Captain during the Revolutionary War. He married a girl named Sarah on March 4, 1762 in Yadkin Co. However, according to the family bible, Joseph married a girl named Philadelphia, not Sarah, on March 4, 1762. I believe this story may have gotten Joseph Phillips, the son of Joseph and Mary Phillips born May 9, 1738 confused with Joseph Phillips, the son of Bennett and Elizabeth Phillips born June 26, 1757 or Joseph Phillips, the son of Joseph and Sarah Phillips of Edgecombe County, NC, born 31 Oct 1763. All three Joseph Phillips fought in the Revolution. I am not sure which Joseph Phillips became a Captain in 1776, but I think it is more likely the Joseph Phillips who was 38 years old rather than the Joseph Phillips who was only 19 years old or the Joseph Phillips who was only 13 years old. The average age of captains during the War of 1812 was 37. It is said that a Joseph Phillips fought in the Regulator’s Battle of Alamance in 1771, but in fact there is no existing list of participants in this battle. The only Joseph Phillips old enough to participate in this battle which was fought in Orange County, NC, was the Joseph Phillips born in 1738. A Joseph Phillips was commissioned in April of 1776 at Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina as a Captain of the Fourth Regiment of the North Carolina Militia. He served under Col. Thomas Polk. He served in the war against the Cherokee Indians in 1776. A Joseph Phillips served as Recruiting officer at the old courthouse at Richmond, Surry Co., NC, in 1777. A Colonel Joseph Phillips fought in battles at Monmouth (1778, New Jersey) and Brandywine (1777, New Jersey). A Capt. Joseph Phillips fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain expedition (1780 near the North and South Carolina border) under Major Joseph Winston, first commanded by Col. Benjamin Cleveland, thence under Col. Campbell of VA. Note that there were at least two different Joseph Phillips from NC who fought in the Revolution.) + |
| NC Record 023 + | “The soldiers and Capt. Joseph Philips left for Salem; they took a horse from here for the service.” + |
| NC Record 024 + | Capt. Joseph Philips was here with his Cavalry. He required horses from us, and three were furnished. Otherwise they gave us no trouble.” + |
| NC Record 025 + | “Col. Armstrong, Joseph Williams, Joseph Philips and others were in the tavern for a conference with Williams, who was leaving for the Council of Safety. Scarcely had Mr. Williams started when an Express arrived from Transylvania, bringing letters signed by Mssrs. Cameron and Stuart. The letters had evidently been written to friends and as they revealed what was being planned, they were sent to this Congress. The plan was this: the white people who were loyal to the King were to take their wives and children to Florida, where they should have land; then the men should go into the war. He wrote that he already had 2000 soldiers, nearly 1000 Indians and that four or five hundred whites were in the Cherokee Nation.” + |
