Phillip Garner is the earliest identified Garner progenitor. He was of German
descent, and owned over 1500 acres on the Yadkin River but more principally along the two tributaries of the Yadkin-Abbots and Lick Creeks. His first acquirement is a grant of
land for 300 acres on Abbotts Creek in 1783. (This was the first U. S. survey record.)
Five other acquirements follow from this date to 1810, The Yadkin River and all this area
was in Rowan County, North Carolina.

No record has yet been found of Phillip's birth, immigration, naturalization or
marriage. Proof that he married Elizabeth Winkler, daughter of Lewis Winkler, (as
records of many of his descendants agree on) has recently been discovered. In the
Quarterly Court Session of Rowan, North Carolina November 1801, is a "petition of Phillip
Garner in right of his wife Elizabeth....that Lewis Winkler is the father of the said
Elizabeth." (Direct verbatim quote), The children of Lewis are named in this petition.

The will of Phillip Garner names his children: John, Henry, Phillip, David*, "my
daughter Barbara Becker, Mary Boss, Chrisiana Lanier, Ann Snider." All the family
records (Utah, California and Iowa) name another girl--Elizabeth, who married John
Wright. The only indication of the sequence of their births, or any dates yet found are
as follows: "John, my eldest son"; "David died 3 September 1872 age 104 years old."

Phillip Garner's will was made 1812 and was probated May 1814.
