PHILIP3 VANDEGRIFT  (LEONARD2, WILLIAM1) was born 05 Apr 1824 in Scioto, OH, and died 04 Sep 1848 in Camp Creek, Pike, OH.  He married NANCY BROWN 10 Dec 1846 in Camp Creek Twp, Pike, Ohio .  She was born 23 Apr 1823 in OH, and died 15 Feb 1895 in Camp Creek Twp, Pike, OH.

 

 

PHILIP was born April 5, 1824, probably in Scioto County , Ohio , and died September 4, 1848 in Camp Creek Township , Pike County , Ohio .  He married NANCY BROWN on December 10, 1846 in Camp Creek Township , Pike County , Ohio .  She was born April 23, 1823 in Ohio , and died February 15, 1895 in Camp Creek Township , Pike County , Ohio .

 

Philip’s date of death was recorded in the bible of Samuel Vandegrift.  Philip was not listed in any census by name because he was deceased before 1850.  He probably was living with his parents prior to that time, most recently 1830 (Lewis County, Virginia) and 1840 (Columbia Township, Meigs County, Ohio). 

 

The 1850 census for Nancy indicated a Jasper Vandegrift, born between 1840-1841 living in the home in both the 1850 and 1860 Federal Censuses in Jasper, Camp Creek Township .  However, he was born about five years before Philip and Nancy were married.   Nancy would have been about 17 years of age when he was born.  In 1870, Jasper Brown, 29 years of age, a farm laborer born in Ohio , resided in Jasper, Camp Creek Township .  Nancy 's maiden name was Brown.  Jasper may have been someone in her family or a son born prior to marriage.

 

Nancy was listed in the following censuses:  (1850, 1860, 1870) Camp Creek Township , Pike County , Ohio ; (1880) Adams, Meigs County , Ohio .

 

Nancy purchased five acres of land on September 22, 1879 at Camp Creek , Ohio from F. J. Wolford for the sum of $600.00.
