Notes - oseph aka Unknown Phipps
We call him Joseph as the PHIPPS book did.
He did marry but wife is unknown
SHE IS NOT ROMAL
that is a myth and error from Phipps book.
she remarried after she was a widow.
family tradition is that her second husband was murdered by several of her sons for abuse. they left for the "west"
May be sons John and Ben.
Joseph moved to Alamance before Rev War.
We do not know where he came from.
Maybe Pennsylvania? DNA is being done
Pls contact me
The earliest records of our branch of Phipps are found in Orange Cty NC formed in 1752.
Guilford Cty became this section in April 1 1771.
Alamance Creek where our Phipps settled was in this Orange then Guilford section.
We believe his brother John in 1762 received land from Henry Mcculloh a british with vast land holdings.
the land was on a fork of Alamance creek in guilford
In the McCulloh grants it is # 11 in Guilford and Deeds section of Orange Cty
in nc colonial recds vol 7 page 737, in 1765 james, john and joseph we think brothers listed on petion to english gov asking for redress of fee they had to be 21 to sign. so all born by 1744.
they could not be the brothers who came to grayson cty va or alleghy cty nc around 1790s
we know that son joseph was 70 on 1825 so he was 10 in 1765 too young to sign
his dad was born about ca 1730.
4 sons went west: Benjamin, John, Samuel and Isaiah.
The other sons stayed in Alamance area.
He is believed to be buried in this cemetery.
Wife unknown. She is definitely NOT Romal.
THERE IS NO PROOF AS TO HIS WIFE's NAME.
1765 petition signed by Joseph and maybe his brothers John and ?.
They had to be 21 to sign.
To summarize the three Joes on early Guilford Cty area documents:
a Joseph signed the 1765 petition and was b. ca 1730.
He had a son Joseph (Jr) b ca 1755 per divorce petition 1825 who had son Joseph (III) b ca. 1775 from the 1810 census.
Children:
John moved to Wilkes/Ashe Cty NC now Alleghany Cty NC about 1779/1780 and then to Tenn.
Probably buried in Tenn.
His family went on to Texas
Benjamin moved to Grayson Cty Va about 1779/80.
Buried there. See FAG 27302290.
Joseph Jr lived and died in Guilford Cty NC area.
Samuel who moved to Wilkes/Ashe now Alleghany Cty ca. 1779/80 to current FARMERS FISH CAMP RD.
Buried there.
Isaiah who moved to Grayson Cty Va.
Buried there.
James Sr who lived and died in Guilford Cty NC area
Aaron who lived and died in Guilford Cty NC area
EARLIEST RECORDS
In Orange Cty NC which was formed 1752 from Bladen, Granville and Johnston Counties.
Guilford Cty NC was formed from eastern Rowan and Orange 4/1/1771.
