General Notes

Richard,

I saw your posting on worldconnect at rootsweb. I have the following information regarding George Phillips, Jr. from a book titled "Early Friends of Upper Bucks Co. Pennsylvania by CH Roberts":

Born 10th month 5, 1706, removed with his parents to Richland when a child. He was a farmer and acquired in 1740 a plantation in Milford upon which he lived until about 1765 when we lose all trace of him. He probably died at about that date. He purchased of William Baldwin in 1751, a tract of 125 acres in Richland near the Meeting House which he and his wife conveyed to John Foulke, 12th month 17th, 1754. He married at Christ Church, Philadelphia, 7th month 3, 1727, Alice Fairman (Farnan) who survived him many years, dying in Milford between the years 1806 and 1815. There is some indication that she was a widow when she married George Phillips and was a Walton by birth. She lived for the last 40 years of her life on a tenament lot near Thumbauersville, conveyed to her by her son Joseph Phillips in 1776 where she followed the vocation of tailoress. Her will dated 8th month 10 1806 devised her Estate to her daughter Ann Phillips for life, then to Samuel Walton, son of her nephew, Moses Walton.
