DOBBS COUNTY
-
- 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

- 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.
