During the French and Indian War, the militia in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, had three Pettypool soldiers on a muster roll from the 1750's (1). Corporals Phillip Pettypool and Stephen Pettypool were brothers, sons of William and Frances Pettypool of Lunenburg County, Virginia.

• Pettypool, Philip, corporal
• Petypool, Phillip, soldier

It is likely that the Revolutionary War soldier, Phillip Pettypool of Camden District, South Carolina, and Warren County, Georgia, was the younger Soldier Phillip Pettypool of Edgecombe County. This third Pettypool was probably younger, since he was a private soldier. Stephen Pettypool (wife Sarah ?Colwell) was the oldest, and more probably the father of Soldier Phillip Pettypool. It can not be overlooked that this Phillip could also have been a son of an as yet unknown Pettypool.

Philip married Mary Tapley, as will be shown below. Also joining Phillip was Ephraim Pettypool, Jr., likely his son, who married Lucretia. They settled in what is now Sumter and Claremont Counties, South Carolina.

Philip Pettypool supported the Patriots in the American Revolutionary War but no record exists of him serving with troops. However, he did sign the South Carolina Association for Public Defense Roll of 1776, Camden District, South Carolina. Also on the roll are listed Abrahm Pettypool, Ephraim Pettypool, Adam Tapley and John Tapley.
