    Notes:

    John served in the Revolutionary War, in Capt. Buchanan'a Compnay of Militia, Montgomery County, Virginia. Johann (John) Adam Phillippi married Maria Barbara Eva Eichelberger (b. Apr. 12, 1737/9; d. Oct.9, 1823) on Aug. 2, 1757 in Warwick, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He served in the Revolutionary War, in Capt. Buchanan's Company of Militia, Montgomery County, Virginia. Johann had been born in Alsace, France and emigrated to America with his father and family. He had moved to Wythe County, Virginia from York County, Pennsylvania where his family had settled in 1732 when the Phillippes had migrated there from France. German speaking natives of Alsace, France, they intermarried with, and took on the habits of, their Pennsylvania Dutch neighbors. When these people began settling the Piedmont area of Virginia, John Phillippe was the first to come to western Virginia, John and Eva having joined the westward migration at the close of the Revolutionary War. John died in Wythe County, Virginia, but his grave is unlocated. [Lewis, Riddle]. The Phillippi family originated in southern Europe, in Germany. It is said that these Philippis moved to Alsace from Switzerland in 1650, in a letter written (in German) when one of Johannes sisters died. Passengers having the name Phillippi (or Phillipe, Philippi, or Philipy) are listed in shipping registers as having arrived in the New World in 1749, 1750, and 1764 [Lewis, Lundy]. On Sep. 15, 1749 foreigners from Zweibruchen, Nassau, Wirtemberg, and Palatinate arrived on the ship Phoenix, John Mason, Master, from Rotterdam, Georg Frantz Philippi among them. On August 28, 1750 the ship the Phoenix, John Mason, Captain arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam, last from Cowes. Onboard were Johannes Phillipi, Johannes Phillipi jr., Andreas Phillipi and Christian Philipy. About twelve names later is Johannes Philipi [Lundy]. At this point its probable that Johann Adam Philippi (b. Aug. 4, 1736) is a son [Bell, DaVar, Lewis, Phillippi1], not a nephew [Canfield] of Johannes Phillipi with whom he sailed. If the latter is true, it is likely he is a son of Georg Frantz Philliippi and that he was following his father, who had emigrated the previous summer. This would make him a nephew of Johannes Philippi and Maria Christina Cleiss Philippi instead of a son as listed above. This position is held by [Canfield, Keeton, Philpy] who then give his date of birth as Oct. 9, 1728. John Phillippe served in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Buchanan's company of militia from Montgomery Cty, Virginia. He moved to Wythe Cty, VA from York Cty, PA where his family had settled in 1732, when the Phillipis had migrated from France. German-speaking natives of Alsace, France, they had mingled easily with the Pennsylvania Dutch. John was the first to come to western Virginia, joining the westward migration at the close of the Revolutionary War. [1073] [S110] DaVar

    Johann married EICHELBERGER, Maria Eva Barbara on 2 Aug 1757 in Warwick, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Maria (daughter of EICHELBERGER, Philipp Friederich and DORNERS, Anna Barbara) was born in 1743; died on 9 Oct 1823. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
