Subject: Re: [ENC Phillips] New to the group!
This could be the tie to Orange
Co. Group 8 Phillips. I have seen a couple of
lines on Hardy Phillips, some saying that James T.
Phillips was the father of Joseph L. Phillips.
Actually, I think James T. Phillips was probably
Hardy's brother at this point, unless the Rebecca
marriage was his 2nd one. At this point I
withdrawal my John H Phillips as the father of
Joseph L. and will just refer to him as Hardy
Phillips. I can't find the reference where I drew
that conclusion from.
Marriage record in Greene just
states Hardy Phillips m. Rebecca Veasey in Greene
Co., GA 1815. There is an exact date, plus a
Timothy Veasey m. a Martha Phillips in Greene Co.,
in 1821. The Veasey research shows them coming
from Cecil Co., MD to GA. I highly doubt that, not
unheard of, but highly doubt a family moved from
MD right to GA. The Veasey name was in Granville
Co., NC early on, which just so happens to share a
border with Orange Co., NC.
I am just not sure where the
Thomas is coming from and where I got John. This
is very interesting though.

Nancy, is it possible this could
be the connecting point to Orange Co. I haven't
looked to see if any Hardy Phillips were in NC in
the early 1800s. Of course there probably were
many. 1830, I think there were 3 distinct Hardy
Phillips men in Georgia already. Here is the break
down.
19 Nov 1779, Wilkes County, GA: Estate sale for the estate of D. Hinton, dec’d. Buyers included (hole in manuscript) ark Phillips. (Mark Phillips was probably at least 21 years old in 1779 if he bought things at an estate sale. This means he was born by 1758. His son Hardy appears to have been born between 1770-1780, which makes it likely that Mark was born between 1750 and 1760.)
15 Oct 1785, Wilkes County, GA: Deed from Nathan Barnett and Lucey his wife, to Thomas Meriwether, all of Wilkes Co, for £75. 300 acres adjoining east by Richard Webb, southeast by Chandler, northwest by Mark Phillips, all other sides vacant. Witnesses: W. Barnett, Henry Tiler, Benja. Fry. Recorded 20 May 1786 in Wilkes Co Deed Book A, Page 67.
1785: From a remnant of the earliest Wilkes County Tax List: This is the first tax digest found in the court house and was taken to give a practically complete census of the heads of families of that date, to identify their lands as headrights, and possible bounty grants for Revolutionary service, and to replace in a measure the census of 1790, all of which for Georgia was destroyed by the British during the War of 1812 in Washington DC. There is no complete digest until 1802, only a few pages left in the interim. The remnant for 1792, 1793 and 1794 have been published in “Some Tax Digests of Georgia” by Ruth Blair, State Historian and Archivist:
Capt Elsberry’s District, received by Michael Elsberry:
Mark Phillips, 1 poll, 700 acres in Wilkes Co, 287 ½ acres in Franklin Co
John Phillips, 1 poll, 250 acres in Wilkes Co, 287 ½ acres in Franklin Co
(torn) 1787, Wilkes County GA: Deed from James Cowen & Rachel his wife to Mark Phillips, all of Wilkes Co, for £50. 200 acres adjoining east by Curtis Wilbourn, south by Joseph Jones, west by Sessem Blake, north by Isaac Muckelroy, granted to Cowen 17 March 1786. Witnesses: Hugh Ector, Thomas Glass, Eleoner Ector, Holeman Freeman. Recorded 27 June 1788 in Wilkes Co Deed Book DD, Page 75.
29 April 1789, Wilkes County, GA: Deed from Isaac Muckleroy & Sarah his wife to Mark Phillips, all of Wilkes County, for £40. 200 acres on the south side of Golden Grove Creek of Broad River, adjoining Mark Phillips formerly Cowan, Willis Pope, James Hartsfield, granted to McLeroy 24 Feb 1785. Witnesses: Benjamin Blake, J.P. and Curtice Welborn. Recorded 10 May 1790 in Wilkes Co Deed Book EE, Pg 143. (Mark appears to have lived in the part of Wilkes Co that became Oglethorpe Co in 1793. The Broad River forms the boundary between Oglethorpe and Elbert Counties and part of the northern border of Wilkes County. Note that Mark sold this land in 1791.)
25 July 1791, Wilkes County, GA: Deed from Mark Phillips and Ann, his wife, to William Battles, all of Wilkes Co, for £60. 200 acres on south side of Golden Grove Creek of Broad River adjoining said Phillips formerly Coins, Willis Pope, James Hartsfield. Granted to Mackleroy 24 Feb 1785. Witnesses: Jno Moore, J.P. Recorded 29 May 1792 in Wilkes Co Deed Book II, Page 23.
25 July 1797: Mark Phillips registered his brand for stock. This is recorded in Greene County Deed Book 1 at pg 334-335. (A Mark Phillips lived in Oglethorpe County, as he appears on a tax list there in 1798. However, Greene County borders Oglethorpe County. Perhaps men registered their stock brands in several counties.)
1798: Mark Phillips appears on the tax list in Oglethorpe County, GA.
20 November 1806 Mary Phillips married Daniel Jackson in Greene County GA. (Mary was the daughter of Mark Phillips, because Mark mentioned his son-in-law Daniel Jackson in his will which was proved in Greene County in 1817. Since the average age of marriage for women was 16-20, Mary was probably born circa 1786-1790.)
28 December 1808 Nancy Phillips married Washington Beard in Greene County GA. (Nancy was the daughter of Mark Phillips, because Mark mentioned his son-in-law Washington Beard in his will which was proved in Greene County in 1817. Since the average age of marriage for women was 16-20, Nancy was probably born circa 1788-1792.)
23 November 1810 Henry Phillips married Nell or Nicey Ward in Clarke County, GA. (Henry might have been the son of Mark Phillips. Clarke County borders Oglethorpe County on the west. However, Travis Phillips says Henry J. B. Phillips was married to Elizabeth Fuller, although he gives no record documentation.)
23 October 1814 Hardy Phillips married Rebecca Veazey in Greene County GA. (Hardy Phillips was probably the son of Mark and Nancy Phillips. He was mentioned in the will of Mark Phillips which was proved in Greene County GA in 1817.)
1817: The will of Mark Phillips was admitted for probate in Greene Co GA.
25 Oct 1821 Patsy Phillips married Timothy Veazey in Greene County, GA. (Patsy was a nickname for Martha, so this may be the Martha Phillips mentioned in the will of Mark Phillips.)
13 Dec 1821 Malinda Phillips married Elijah Lee in Greene County, GA. (This is probably the Malindy Phillips mentioned in the will of Mark Phillips.)
27 Dec 1821 Jesse B. Phillips married Betsy Martin in Greene County GA. (Jesse Bush Phillips was the son of Mark Phillips because he was mentioned in the will of Mark Phillips proved in Greene County in 1817.
9 Nov 1825 Abia Phillips married Oliver Cosby in Morgan County GA (Abi Phillips is mentioned in the will of Mark Phillips.)
1850 mortality schedule states b. NC as does the 1880 census, where
Joseph claims his father was b. in NC. How do we explain Hardy's claim
to b. NC and not GA as it appears that Mark was in GA before the birth
of Hardy?
And don't forget about the Hammett connection and a Hammett Phillips
living right next to Joseph and Rebecca in Troup. Starting to make my
head hurt.
Well, according to the 1840 Troup Co GA census, Hardy was born between 1770 and
1780. The first mention of Mark in Georgia that I can find is 1779. So it is
just barely possible that Hardy was born in NC and moved down to GA with his
family shortly after his birth. It is also possible that Hardy's son Joseph was
confused about where his father was born. After all, it was Joseph who probably
supplied the info on the 1850 mortality schedule and the 1880 census. Sometimes
people shoot from the hip when supplying info to census takers.
With regard to the Hammett connection, the only Phillips I can connect them to
is a John Phillips who died in Wilkes Co GA in 1781. His date of death is
actually written in an old Hammett family bible. I guess it is always possible
that Mark was a son of John. We need to get a copy of Mark's will to see the
order in which he named his sons. If the first named son was Henry, that
indicates his father might have been named Henry. However, we do know Mark had
a son named John. I am guessing that Hardy was Mark's wife's maiden name.

Yes, it is possible Mark ties back to Orange Co NC, although he might also tie back to Anson Co NC. Quite a few people on the internet have shown him as the youngest son of William and Harriet Horne Phillips of Anson Co NC. However, we now know there are a lot of mistakes with regard to that lineage. First of all, William was married to a woman named Ann, not Harriet Horne. Also William came from Spotsylvania/Orange Co VA, not Surry Co VA. I have searched the records of Anson Co NC intensively and have not found any references to a Mark Phillips, although I believe Martha may have.
It is interesting to hear that the Veasey surname was found in Granville Co NC, since it is an uncommon surname.

If you have a chance, it would be great if you could obtain a copy of Mark's
original will which should be filed at the Greene Co GA courthouse. Usually
clerks only charge a couple of dollars to make copies of wills. While you are
at it, you might want to check for any other probate. The will is supposedly in
Greene Co Will Book 4 at pages 9 and 10.

When you are in Troup County, you might also want to look for any will or
probate associated with your Joseph L. Phillips. I found a file posted on
rootsweb indicating Joseph died 11 Nov 1890 in Troup County GA. Here is a link
to that
file: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ajobebrown4&id=I02335
Even if you do not have the book and page number, sometimes clerks can look up
wills and probate using the death date and name of the person.
