DOBBS/LENOIR COUNTY CROSS INDEXES

Corrected September 2000. Books have not been transcribed past Book 24.

NOTE: From here until the end there are numerous entries for John R. Phillips. John R. loaned a great deal of money and I suspect this is what most of these entries are for. Since he was not, by birth a Phillips, I have left these out.)

MISC DEEDS AND PATENTS

THAT WE CAN'T PROVE WHICH THOMAS THEY BELONGED TO

 

Some of these patents were submitted by Howard Phillips and some by Martha

Marble. Howard did all the work in the actual Patent Books.

 

There are no Deeds, Grants, or Patents we can find for Thomas I.

 

There are several Deeds for a Thomas around l750, but it is not clear who they

were for. We must not forget, there was another Thomas in the area who did not

appear to belong to this family. These deeds could have been for this Thomas

or Thomas, son of Thomas I; however, he would have been awfully young, probably

not over l8 at this time.

 

Thomas, son of Thomas and Isabelle, only had two tracts of land when he died,

both appear to have been deeded not long before his death. No doubt he owned

additional land earlier. Obviously anything after his deathdate would not have

been his.

 

There were a number of grandsons of Thomas I by the name of Thomas - the number

we are not sure of. One died by l788/89 so anything after l892 would not be

his. Thomas, son of Thomas II moved from the area, but we do not know when. He

may have bought and sold land before he left. Thomas, son of John Sr. did

inherit a good deal of land from his father and appeared to have purchased

additional land. As he was a large land owner, I suspect a good deal of the land

transactions after Thomas II died were his. As we sort through everything, it may

be possible to prove which of the misc land transactions belonged to which

Thomas.

 

 

THOMAS - PROBABLY OF MARYLAND FAMILY

 

l. Deed Book 2 - p 58 - Thos Phillips bought l00 A from Joseph Jackson July

l750 N/S Litle Contnentnea Creek - Adj Thomas Blunt, Peter Low -- wit: John

Rice, Edward Cumine

 

2. Vol l, p 485 - Thos Phillips bought l00 A from Jos. Jackson N/S Little

Contentnea Creek adj: Thos Blunt, Peter Low and Thos P -- wit John Rice and Edw.

Cumings

 

3. Reubin Phillips sold the above land. Reubin purchased items at the estate

sale and appears to have inherited this above land. I think this is the Reubin

of Maryland who had a son Clement in Dobbs County and then moved to Anson

County. Reubin did not appear to have lived in Dobbs when he sold this land.

NOTE: The above Thomas was probably a grandson of Thomas and Isabella. He

died the next year - see Craven Co estate records. They were married long enough

to have had one child, but if they did, it is not known.

 

NOTE: IN September 2000 - Land records in Craven County indicate the Moseley

Creek land was the same land that James Phillips lived on which indicates

That James was the son of Thomas and Ann Gaskins.
