born around 1806 supposedly in S. Carolina somewhere. I have been told that he didn't come from S. Carolina but all my older PHILLIPS family members said that he did. It is possible that his family came from N. Carolina but that is just a guess. His headstone in the cemetery in Texas has his birthdate as 1806 and the family history book has him listed as being born in S. Carolina. His wife, Mary Jane McCREIGHT was born in Fairfield County, South Carolina and was the daughter of James and Jane McCREIGHT, son of Robert & Margaret McCREIGHT, son of William McCREIGHT who came to America on the Ship Pennsylvania Farmer from Belfast, Ireland and landing in Charleston, S. Carolina in Dec.,1772. I have no substantiated proof that George Washington PHILLIPS' Ancestors came on that ship, but would like to find out who they were and where they came from. I have been unable to locate a George Washington Phillips born anywhere in S. Carolina that died in the state of Texas. My GWP died in 1877 in Texas. Any help anyone can give is appreciated. Sincerely, mpc
