THOMAS PHILP (my great, great grandfather) second son of Robert Kemp and Thomasin (O'Brien) Philp was born 3 June 1797 in Mylor, Cornwall, England. Due to the custom of primogeniture, he would not be in line to inherit the family's wealth which went to the first son. So, sometime in the 1820's, he boarded a ship and set sail for America. The family legend is that he and his brother, James, landed in Canada (see article from the Prairie Historian). However, there is no proof that he came via Canada or that James came with him. Thomas is first found in Gallipolis, Ohio, where he met and married ELIZABETH BALTZELL on 10 Feb 1825. Elizabeth was born in Morgantown, Mongalia Co., Virginia to DANIEL and MARGARET (WARE) BALTZELL. |
