Hello everyone, I have just joined this list. I have recently been given some information that was located in an old family Bible on the Phipps family. Jacob Phipps b Jan 14, 1795 Bald Eagle, Centre Cty, PA. d Feb 1, 1848 (place unknown) married Betsy Wyatt in 1814 in Franklin Cty Ohio. Betsy was b1792 possibly in NY. Jacob's father was named David Phipps. B 1761 in Uwchland, Chester Cty, PA. D 1830 in Delaware Cty, Ohio. Do not know his wife's name. David's father was Samuel Phipps (Jacob's grandfather) Born about 1740 in Uwchland, Chester Cty PA. died 1810 in Bald Eagle, Centre Cty, PA. wife unknown I am trying to find out the wife of Samuel and David Phipps, where Jacob died and any interesting tidbits about the Phipps family in this area. I am new at researching PA. Most of my contacts have been in the south. Would like to communicate with anyone who is also working on this family or any one who has some suggestions on where else to look. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Cathy, This is wonderful information! I have been searching and searching for information on the Phippses of Centre County. I have lots of Phipps information, but the Centre County line has been elusive. I believe that David had a sister Elizabeth, who was my ancestor. There isn't anything in that Bible about an Elizabeth is there? That would be too good to be true! Let me dust off my Phipps notes and get back to you.

Cathy, I am told that my ancestor, Jeremiah Troutner b. ca 1765, married Elizabeth Fips ca 1792. I pretty quickly figured that Fips is Phipps. I am also told that she was the daughter of Samuel - but I have no proof of that. I estimate that she was born ca 1765-1772, which would make her about the right age to have been a sibling of your David. Elizabeth Fips Troutner married second Frederick Hetzler in 1811 and moved to Scottsville, NY. I have searched Centre County records for Phippses and about all I can find out is that in 1787 Samuel Phips was a resident of Lower Bald Eagle Township, and in 1793 he was a resident of Bald Eagle Twp. In 1793 David Phips was a resident of Haines Twp. There is a lot of information out there on the Phippses - the problem is proving it. Samuel is said to be the son of Aaron Phipps. Aaron was b. 7/28/1716 (Quaker date 28 5mo 1716) in Uwchlan, Chester Co. Aaron, who died 8/20/1791, is said to be the son of Joseph Phipps and Mary Woodyer. And Joseph who m. Mary Woodyer is said to be the son of Joseph and Sarah Brimfield. Joseph, the immigrant and friend of William Penn, and Sarah are said to have immigrated in 1681 with William Penn. Now wouldn't it be nice to prove connections to this line? I have no evidence that Samuel was the son of Aaron. But there is record of an Aaron b. 7/28/1716 (5/28/1716) to Joseph and Mary Phips. The trouble is that this Joseph's will does not mention a son Aaron. Another researcher has copied deeds in which Joseph deeded property to his sons. And there is not a deed for Aaron. Was he excluded because he moved or for some other reason? I don't know. Back to your David - a pedigree chart on Rootsweb says Davis was married to Martha LENA, b. 1/22/1770 Bald Eagle, Centre Co., PA and that she died in Marion, Ohio. It also says that David and Martha had a daughter Elizabeth who was b. 12/13/1790 Haines Twp., Centre Co. This Elizabeth would have been too young to have been mine. Any information that can help me out with this family would be greatly appreciated. Is there additional information in the Bible beyond what you have cited here? If there is any mention of Elizabeth in the Bible, it might be the only evidence that exists of her parentage. So you can see why the presence of a Bible record about this family is an intriguing find. I can tell you that there is very little information about this family in Centre Co. records. Perhaps that's because the Phippses left the area. But Samuel is said to have died in Centre Co. I haven't yet found a burial for him. If this family's ancestry can be verified, this line can be taken back to the 1400's! Regards, Joyce Cathy Pierce wrote: > Hello everyone, > I have just joined this list.
