Philip along with his parents and two brothers came to the US before the Revolutionary War about 1771 at the age of 14. His parents died on the ship and he was sold as an indentured servant to Ulrich Conrad of Pendleton Co. Va at the age of 14.It is dated 11 Oct. 1771. I have a copy of the indentured paper.It has a note attached as to who has the original. However, I doubt if she is still living at this time Married Sarah Simmons in 1785 and settled on East Dry Run in Pendleton County.
