My great great grandfather was Wiley (Riley) Stewart b 1790-1810 NC. But it seems he may have been a Phillips by birth. (from dna kit). According to our dna records it was around this time that we became Phillips. There was a marriage of Mary Thompson b abt 1790 to a Robert Stewart in Edgecombe NC on Jan 4 1809. According to our dna expects it is possible that Mary had children by a Phillips, then he died and she married a Stewart. The the children took the Stewart name. Could this be your lost Phillips? There are two more matches in our Phillips line that have traced their lineage to a John "Jack" Phillips (NC)who believe John's father is John Phillips,the old revolutionary soldier. There is information that this John Phillips had connections to the Thompson name. If you are interested I can send you directly an email with more info.
