- Curtis Phillips was the son of Ferebee Phillips and 1) Joseph Phillips
- according to the Rev War Pension Application Ferebee submitted and was
- approved 2) Shadrack Phillips according to the family Bible. No doubt
- Joseph was the father and Shadrack may have been a stepfather/uncle.
- Curtis Phillips requested in his Will, located at the Lenoir County
- Courthouse, to be buried in the Stephen C. Phillips Cemetery on the Stephen
- C. Phillips farm. Stephen C. Phillips inherited this farm from his father,
- William Phillips, who most likely inherited it from his father, Thomas.
- Thomas inherited much of the land in this area from his father John
- Phillips by Will. The land is on Eagle Swamp. The cemetery is located off
- the road going from Grifton to Hugo and was visited in February 2000 by Jim
- Gattis and Martha Mewborn Marble. There are only three stones left in the
- cemetery but there are at least 25 gravesites and maybe more. This stone is
- important because it pinpoints the exact location of the early Phillips
- land. The farm is owned today by descendants of Stephen C. Phillips.
- Thanks to Jack Gilbert who provided the picture.
