General Notes: !Philip received R W pension No W6575. Moved to Greenbriar Co WVA 1789. Died in 1 Oct 1852 in Pike County, OH. Philip born in Lebanon Co, PA moved with his father, John, Jr and mother Hannah to Shanendoah Co, VA when Philip was about 6 years old. When Philip was 19 he joined the Capt Moore's Co of 5th Coof the Lancaster Co. Militia. He was granted a military pension in Gallia Co, OH in 1819, claim W. 6575. While a resident of Shenandoah Co, Va served with the VA Troops under Major Ridley for 18 months. He was in the battle of Cowpens and Guilifords Courthouse and reenlisted later as a private in Capt Hughes and Watts Co. of Continental Dragoons in battles at Eutaw Springs and skirmishes in Georgia. The record that these items are taken from was made by a very accomplished genealogist, however there is no date or other identifications as to its compiler. This record shows a total of 7 children by Philip, but there is no indication as to which of his two wives were their mother. By taking the dated of his two marriages, I am showing the first two as being the children of his first marriage. Also there evidently was another child, a female, that married Tom BARKEE and moved to Pusher Co, WV.

General Notes: !AFN: 3F27-BV
!These records are as researched and found by Raymond Martin Bell of Washington, Pennsylvania dated 1987 and as shown in his booklet titled THE WOLFENSBERGER WOLFERSBERGER FAMILY, Switzerland, Alsce, and Pennsylvania and on file at the Family History Library, Salt Lake City, US/CAN 929273 A1 No. 541.0. Naturalized 13 Sept 1761. In Apr 1992 a personal investigation was made by this writer in Shenandoah Co VA and found the following: Linda Varney, Pres of Shenandoah Historical Soceity and Karen G. Cooper the founding Pres of the same Soceity stated that it is their belief that the original Woodstock Cemetary is below where the court house and a church across the street have been built. A call was made for the descandents of those buried there to remove their remains. The descandents of John, Jr. had all moved and did not remove the remains of WOLFERSBERGERS thatlay below these buildings.A search of the cemetary records failed to show John, Jr. or his wife Hannah. The records of John, Jr and Hannah will probably have to stand as now written. There were several records of property that was owned by John, Jr. John, Jr purchased 2 lots in Woodstock, VA on 3 April 1769. Hehad moved from PA a short time before that date. All of his children were born in Lebanon Co, PA.
