I am interested in obtaining copies of any documentation anyone may have on Philip Terrell Burford (and his family) who was born on 29 Jun 1763 in North Carolina. I have found several conflicting dates and locations (traditions) surrounding the death for Philip T. Burford.
If there are multiple "Philip T's" out there, I am interested in the man who was the son of Philip Burford, and father of Philip Hastings Burford. According to Philip T. Burford's Revolutionary War pension file, he stated that he was born on 29 Jun 1763.
His file also documents his "federal" (non-militia) service in the Revolutionary War. From 1 Mar 1780, Philip served under Col. Nicholas Long, quartermaster general of State of North Carolina, as purchasing commissary and later wagonmaster. Received pension on Mar. 1, 1780 [Mar. 4, 1831] - Pension certificate No. 22074. In October 1781 he enlisted in the North Carolina Troop of Horse under Col. William Linton. His service was 22 months. In his pension record he served as a lieutenant but was not commissioned.
