Phillips Families of Chatham and Moore County, NC

Brick Walls:
1) Who were the parents of Mary Ann Phillips (b. 1845) who married William Judson Maynor?

2) Who were the parents of Chloe, William, Catherine, Berry and Joshua Phillips?  Chloe (b. 1808) married William Maynor - our earliest "known" ancestor.

3) Where did William Phillips get the 50 acres of land in Bear Creek Township (Chatham County, NC) that he was living on in 1850 with his sisters Catherine Phillips and Chloe Mainard & Chloe's 3 children?  The farm sat on the border of Chatham and Moore Counties with Tyson's Creek being the dividing line.
