Phillips was born in 1794 in North Carolina. He later married Martha Pitts in Rowan Co., NC and they lived in Stokes Co., NC. As Martha's family was from Stokes Co, and they married in Rowan Co, it may be an indicator that Thomas' family was from Rowan. There is also a possibility that his father (or grandfather?) may have been named John since he named his first son John Thomas.

The year they appear on tax records is the same as their year of marriage, numbers on the 1820 census exactly fit the family, and the year they left Stokes Co., NC also fits.
