Hi Chuck,

Here's one more thing about Philip Anthony 1754.
In the previous message I should have included that Philip 1754 was orphaned and raised by uncle Paulus (b:1719) or uncle Philip (b:1721). Somewhere, somone has written and researched that Paulus was the uncle that raised Philip 1754, but I can't find this piece of info in my paperwork right now. What I do have is that the uncle Philip died in 1797 and uncle Paulus in 1805. And...

Philip b:1754 mentions in the Rev War Pension application a book that his uncle recorded his age in, but Philip 1754 can't say what became of the book.

The will of his Uncle Philip (b: 1721 d: 1797) did mention a Besslar Bible and a Nirnburger Bible that were willed to (2) of uncle Philip's sons. Perhaps uncle Philip is the one who raised the Philip b:1754. To my knowledge, there has never been a bible belonging to Paulus ever mentioned in any records.
