Virginia Land Office Patents and Grants
Electronic Collection of the Library of Virginia
We are fortunate to have this collection of original land patents
that are organized so that they can be searched and a summary can be viewed on the internet at the web site Library of Virginia On-Line Catalog. Notice the spelling of Philips with one "L" in each of these land grants. This is a strong indication that this
family used this spelling at least back until 1725.
A snippet of the web page is shown below. Select “Images & Indexes” and “Virginia Land Office Patents and Grants” and
enter the search item, such as “Philips” or “Joseph Philips” without the quotation marks, and click
on submit. All the records will pop up in a list. Select an item off the list
and you will see a summary of the information contained in the record. At the
top of the record is an internet link to the original record which you can view in a browser if you have a “tiff”
viewer add-on installed. |
I was able to find the following Land Grants that were issued in Surry and Isle
of Wight Counties of VA, all to Philips spelled with one “L” or adjoining Philips spelled with one “L”.
