Notes for Capt. Zachariah Phillips
4 Jan 1791: Deed for 200 acres in Wilkes Co GA from Joseph Phillips, William FitsPatrick, George Clough, Uzziah Finley, Norris Finley and John Stroud, all of Greene Co, to Andrew McBride of Wilkes Co, for £150. Witness: Davis Grisham, J.P. Recorded 28 June 1792 in Wilkes Co Deed Book II, Page 52. (This deed appears to be signed by Joseph Phillips and his brothers-in-law. Joint deeds like this are normally for lands that have been inherited. I suspect that Joseph and his sisters inherited this land through their mother, Mary White Phillips, the first wife of Zachariah Phillips, who was probably deceased by 1790. Sarah Phillips married John Stroud 13 October 1787 in Greene County, GA. Benjamin Norris Finley married Ann Phillips 3 Feb 1786 in Greene County. Uziah Finley supposedly married Milly Phillips circa 1787, no record found. George Clough supposedly married Mary Phillips circa 1790, no record found. William FitzPatrick supposedly married Celia Ann Phillips, although his wife’s name appears as Tabitha on a Greene County deed in 1802. Perhaps Tabitha was his second wife.)84

12 Jan 1786 Joshua Harris of Wilkes Co from Joseph Phillips of the county aforesaid for 100 pds sterling, 400 acres in sd county on waters of the Ogeechee bounded southeast by Few, northeast by William Down and Samuel Harris, northeast by Greer, in Wilkes Co, originally granted to Joseph Phillips 8 Nov 1784. Wit: James Furlow, Thomas Harris, George Clough, Wm Patrick JP. Recorded 6 July 1789 Greene Co Deed Book 1, pages 286-287. (This deed indicates that this Joseph Phillips, the probable son of Zachariah Phillips, still lived in Wilkes Co in January of 1786. Joseph must have been born by 1763 to have been at least 21 years old in 1784. Also, he appears to have fought in the Revolution, as he received at least one bounty land grant in Washington County for 575 acres. George Clough and William FitzPatrick who witnessed this deed appear to have been married to sisters of Joseph Phillips.)
3 Feb 1786 Ann Phillips married Benjamin Norris Finley in Greene Co GA. (It appears from subsequent deed records that Ann was the sister of Joseph Phillips and the daughter of Zachariah Phillips. Note that Greene County was not carved out of Wilkes County until 1786. Joseph Phillips appears to have moved to Washington/Greene County by 1786.)
2 Nov 1786 The heirs of John Stewart late decd of Wilkes Co, viz James Stewart, Robert Stewart, Charles Stewart, Lydia Stewart of the one part to Joseph Phillips of Green Co for 50 pds sterling, 287 ½ acres bounded southwest by the Oconee River, northwest by Zachariah Phillips, granted the said John Stewart 22 Oct 1785. Wit: Rachel Rutherford, Isaiah Tucker, Clabon Webb, Mycager Gustavis, Wm Greer AJ. Recorded 5 Dec 1789 in Greene County Deed Book 1, Pg 320-322. (This deed indicates that Joseph Phillips moved to Greene County, locating close to his probable father, Zachariah Phillips, by November of 1786.)
1 Sept 1787 William Brady of Wilkes Co to Barney Dunn of North Carolina for 200 pds lawful money, 287 ½ acres in Washington Co now Greene adj Capt Zachariah Phillips, John Stewarts’ land, granted to Thomas Shaw 21 Sept 1785. Wit: John Calhoun, John Greene. Abbeville County, SC: John Colhown attested to signatures. Greene Co Deed Book 1, Pg 174-176. (Note that Zachariah’s land was located in the same vicinity as John Stewart’s land, and Joseph Phillips bought land from the heirs of John Stewart in 1786.)
13 Oct 1787 Sarah Phillips married John Stroud in Greene Co. (From subsequent deed records it appears that Sarah had a brother named Joseph and sisters who married William Fitzpatrick, George Clough, Uzziah Finley, Norris Finley. These sisters appear to have been Celia Ann FitzPatrick, Mary Clough, Milly Finley and Ann Finley.)
19 Jan 1788 Announcement dated 19 Jan 1788: “Mr. Printer, In your Gazette No. 57, I find a publication signed William Cochran, Rec, setting forth that Zachariah Philips, William Philips and Sylvanus Walker were Defaulters. That the Public may judge of Mr. Cochran’s veracity, and form some idea of his candour and uprightness, they are hereby informed that the returns made to the Clerk of Greene county prove the falsity of his publication – made use of only to stigmatize the characters of those Gentlemen, whose patriotic zeal has been evident both in the civil and military department.

Her name may have actually been Tabitha, rather than Celia Ann.)

Notes for Capt. Zachariah Phillips
History of Yolo Couny, Calif., mistakenly gives Mary Clough’s father as Zachariah Clough, “who was born in Virginia of French ancestry and settled in Georgia where, with the exception of the period of his service in th war of 1812, he engaged in the occupation of a planter until his demise at age 66 years.” --conflating Zachariah Phillips, Geo Clough, Zachariah Clough90
