1. Phillip R.¹ Rushing (Phillip^A, William (Brown's Creek)^B, William^C, Which? Mathew^D)^1,^2,³ was born Abt. 1766 in North Carolina ⁴, and died 1814 in Stewart County, TN⁴. He married Jemima⁵ in Anson County, North Carolina ⁶.

Notes for Phillip R. Rushing:
By comparing the three Philip/Phillip Rushings in Anson County from 1790 to 1820, especially be comparing their ages and the ages of their children, it seems most likely that the Philip Rushing Jr. in the census in 1790 must have been the Phillip to purchase land in Stewart County, Tennessee, in 1812. Census data, Anson County, 1800: 5201-101. This shows two sons born before 1790 and five more (including Reuben and Larkin) born before 1800. This Phillip was in Stewart County in 1808 when he lived on Guices Creek and served in Captain Wardens co. of the militia.

In 1814 Isaac Lanier and later John Bailey were administrators of the estate. An inventory for the estate was returned May 2, 1814.

In 1816 the court appointed Elijah Lowry as guardian of the orphan children of Phillip Rushing deceased, naming Reuben, Larkin, Betsy, Anna, and Jemima. Elijah Rushing and Lewis Brewer were securities to the guardianship.

In February 1818 40 acres of Phillip's estate were conveyed to Mark Cooper.
