Notes - Note on Find a Grave by Victoria Taylor True.
From Guilford, came the ancestors of the present Phipps families that descended from the two brothers Benjamin Phipps of whom I have already written and Isaiah Phipps here in Grayson County, Va., and Ashe and Alleghany Counties, N.C.
Isaiah Phipps [1769-1847] came here, as a young man; stayed with his brother Ben Phipps until he took up land and married a Miss How. His home was established west of the Fields place. He was a great hunter of wild game. The writer was told he killed early one morning two turkey gobblers and a big buck before breakfast. Game of all kin was plentiful here in his day and for a long time afterwards. He reared a large family of boys and girls. All of his sons and daughters moved away from the old homestead but two sons, Benjamin [1811-1901] and David Phipps [1817-1907].
Benjamin Phipps [1811-1901] married Ainey Long [Anna Elina Long - "Eleanor" (1811-1901)]and was given the lower part of his father's homestead. He built his home in the woods; he cleared the land and became one of the best farmers of that day. Because of the numerous Bens in the Phipps family he was called "Preacher" Ben Phipps. Well did he carry out all of his life the title given him; he never preached in words, but lived the life which if many so-called preachers had emulated would have given them more influence for good, if they had walked and lived as did "Preacher" Ben. He had eight children; four girls and three sons lived to be grown. [1]
