  • Notes 
    • A copy of a letter I have in my possession states the following: Philip T. Burford was born June 29, 1783 in Warren County, North Carolina. While a resident of Warren County, Philip T. Burford volunteered March 1, 1780 and served as Purchasing Commissary and Wagonmaster, under Nicholas Lon, Quartermaster General of the State of North Carolina, until sometime in October, 1781. He served from October 15, 1781 as lieutenant, three months in Colonel William Linton's North Carolina Regiment, in an expedition against the Tories. He moved about 1793 from North Carolina to Kershaw District, South Carolina, where he lived seven years, then to Franklin County, Georgia and lived three years, to Haywood County, North Carolina, lived eight or nine years, thence to Bedford County, Tennessee. Philip T. Burford was allowed pension on his application executed August 8, 1833, then a resident of Bedford County, Tennessee.

      From Kershaw Co SC Minutes of the County Court 1791-1799 by Brent Holcombe..."1 Mar 1794...Ordered that Philip Burfoot is appointed as a Deputy Sheriff for the county; he appeared and was duly qualified"...this was Philip T. Burford, whose son was Philip G.G. Burford believed to have md Tabitha Tankersley...I found a Philip Burford listed as the Chief Deputy Sheriff of Madison County Alabama in 1828...I believe this is Philip G.G (Philip T. would have been 65 in 1828 and died 1834 in Haywood Co Tn)....just across the Tenn border from Madison Co is Lincoln Co Tn, and I found a reference in Lincoln Co. Tn Court Minutes that Roland Tankersley is mentioned in a court action there on Friday 4 April 1826...this then would place Philip G.G. in near proximity to the Roland Tankersley family at least 1826-28...Philip G.G. b 4 Feb 1800 md Tabitha ca 1822 based on birth of 1st ch Ronald (Roland?) ca 1823...
