Book Title: 

Most of the information was left by Henry Jacob Anthony, b. 1817, lived in 
Pickens Co, SC. He wrote from memory of family traditions.

	“H.J. Anthony was the son of Daniel Anthony, who was the son of John 
Anthony, who was the son of PHILIP ANTHONY [Sr]. PHILIP ANTHONY came from the 
German side of the River Rhine, his father’s name unknown, was killed in the 
war between the Catholics and Protestants, in the time of the Reformation of 
Martin Luther and others. PHILIP ANTHONY [Sr] had two brothers Paul and Jacob, 
and sisters, whose names are now unknown to me. The oldest brother Paul served 
seven years in the Protestant War, and was pressed in for seven more years; 
being unwilling to go again, he made his way to America, and sent money back to 
his mother and family to come to America. His mother and sisters did not comply 
with his request. They married in Germany.”

“PHILIP, Sr settled in Pennsylvania, Jacob in Maryland, Paul settled in Burk 
Co, NC. The three brothers all reared families. Paul’s family mostly went to 
the west, one of his daughters a Mull, one a Folks, one a Coaping, his son 
Abraham was suffocated in a well in Tennessee. Jacob’s family went south and 
west, mostly engage in mercantile business”.

	“PHILIP [Sr] devoted all his attention to farming. After the 
Revolutionary War he moved to Lincoln County, NC, settling on Jujin Creek (or 
it might be Indian Creek), some of his children on the same creek, some of them 
settled on Clark’s Creek, some on Potter’s Creek near South Fork River. He had 
two sons, PHILIP [Jr] and John, two daughters, Magdalin, who married a man by 
the name of Shull [marriage records indicate he was Charles Sholl], Elizabeth 
married a Lantz, both had no children. Philip [Jr] married a Wagner in 
Pennsylvania, they had no children. PHILIP married Kistler and had one son who 
married Mary Rhoades. George married a Suchler, they raised a large family on 
Indian Creek, NC, Benjeyman a Dillenger and moved away, David moved to 
Kentucky, name of wife unknown to me…”

1876
