General Notes: Husband - John Phipps
In the year 1797 he and his family, accompanied by his brother Nathan, emigrated from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Clinton Township, Venango County, and settled on a 361-acre tract of land, surveyed by Colonel Dale, also taking up a 401-acre tract of land surveyed by Colonel Dale, and a 376-acre tract surveyed March 5, 1807, in pursuance of warrant granted Dec. 2, 1805. When he arrived in Venango County it was nothing but a wilderness. All the cattle had to be housed at night to keep the wild animals from devouring them, and though he built a large barn to keep his sheep in the wolves broke in one night and destroyed nearly all the flock. The bears would steal the pigs, and smaller animals would get the poultry.
It is singular that not one acre of the original 1138 acres of land owned by John Phipps is now [1919] held by any male member of the family. Shortly after the death of John Phipps the large tract of land which he had acquired was portioned out among his sons, David, Samuel, Robert and Joseph. After the death of David in 1857 his farm passed to strangers, and changed hands several times; part of it, on which Mr. Phipps lived at the time of his death, is now in the possession of Lyman J. Cassida. The Samuel Phipps farm was sold in 1875 to William Cross, the husband of his youngest daughter, Mr. Phipps making his home with the young people until his death. The Robert Phipps farm is now the property of Frank Eakin, whose wife was a daughter of John Wareham, of Victory Township, and a granddaughter of Maj. John Phipps, son of John and Catherine (Haney) Phipps, the original settlers. In 1868 Joseph Phipps sold his old homestead to Capt. Abraham Witherup, who in 1870 divided it among his two sons, Robert and Samuel Witherup. The part which Robert obtained is now the property of Finley W. Witherup, a great-grandson of John and Catherine Phipps. The portion which Samuel received is now the property of Harry T. Melat. [CAB, 520]
After reaching maturity he removed to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he married and whence he removed to Venango County in 1797, settling on a tract of fifteen hundred acres of land in Scrubgrass (now Clinton) Township, upon part of which the Witherup and Cross families now reside. The land was surveyed for him by Col. Samuel Dale. Mr. Phipps was one of the first settlers in Venango County, coming hither when it was a wilderness, and he and his family experienced the privations and hardships typical of pioneer life. Their nearest neighbors were two and a half miles distant. Mr. Phipps took an active part in the government as well as the material development of the region, being chosen constable in 1811, 1825, 1827 and 1828; appraiser in 1822; and over-seer in 1820.
