Last EditedDec 27, 2001
Father*Martin Phifer1 b. 18 Oct 1720, d. 18 Jan 1791
Mother*Anna Margaretha Schwarzwalder1 b. 29 Oct 1725, d. 18 Jan 1803
Birth*22 March 1747 Bladen County, North Carolina, USA; In C. L. Hunter's book his date of birth is given as 1745. Cabarrus County at this time was part of Bladen. However, Martin, his father was on the tax lists for Lunenburg County until 1852, so I suspect John was really born there.1,2 
Marriage*1768 Principal=Catherine Barringer1,3 
Note* Hunter states that John raised a "numerous family", but only three children were in his will.4 
Residence Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, USA; According to the Worth Ray source, John lived on the North side of the Rocky River and the land extended to the line of Rowan County.5 
Residence* and his family resided at "Dutch Buffalo" Creek, at the Red Hill, known to this day as "Phifer's Hill" (9 this written by Hunter in 1877). It was on the plantation of John Phifer, three miles west of Concord, that the gallant band of "Black Boys" headed by Captain 'Black Bill Alexander' of Sugar Creek, aided by the Whites and others from the neighboring congregation of Rocky River, effected their memorable achievement in 1771, of destroying the king's powder , which was on its way from Charleston to Hillsboro, to be used by a tyrannical Governor. The reader should bear in mind this blackening of faces, to prevent detection, was in the spring of 1771, when the patriotic sentiment of this country had not ripened into that state of almost entire unanimity which characterized it, and the State generally, four years later. 
Land26 July 1774 Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, USA; There were two tracts of land lying on Great Coldwater Creek (a branch of Rocky of Johnston River) bought for a "valuable sum". One tract contained 164 acres and the other 50 acres which was on the ridge of the Great and Little Coldwater Creek joining the other tract. The deed was witnessed by Thomas Pok and John Barringer and proven in open court at the October term of 1774.6 
Residence26 July 1774 Tryon County, North Carolina, USA6 
Military1775 Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, USA; Major7 
Will*17 August 1775 Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, USA; The body of the will stated the following: ...to my son Paul, the tract of land with the mill on which I now live; my honoured father Martin Pfifer to grant and convey to my said son Paul Pfifer; my daughter Margaret Pfifer, a tract on both sides English Buffaloe creek adj. Alexander Penny being conveyed to me by John Penny and lying in Rowan County; to my daughter Ann Eliz. Pfifer, land on big Coldwater Creek two tracts nearly adj. each other, known as Christopher Walbert old place and the meeting house land; to my wife Catharine Pfifer, tract on the three mile branch bought of Michael Goodnight; to my son Paul a negro David and negro Jude; to my daughter Margaret Pfifer, negro Charles and negro woman Nanny; to my daughter Ann Elizabeth, negro boy Charles; to my wife negro Wall and negro girl Dine...Paul Pfifer to be schooled; father Martin Pfifer and father in law Paul Barringer, exrs...17 August 1775
Wit: Benjamin Patton
W. Wallace
Samuel Patton Proved January 17778 
Military*December 1775 Johnston Court House, North Carolina, USA; John was appointed a Lieutenant Colonel (under Colonel Adam Alexander) of the first battalion of "minute men" in the Salisbury District.9 
Burial*between December 1776 and January 1777 Red Hill Cemetery, Concord, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, USA; Hunter states that "filled an early grave and lies buried at the "Red Hill" on the Salisbury road, where a decaying headstone, scarcely legible, marks the last resting-place of this true patriot". (This would have been written in 1877).4

He and his company were stationed under General Lee (Martin thinks) for some months before being detached from the southern Army and ordered to join the Northern Army. He remained in the Northern Army until the spring of 1778 principally engaged in "waiting on Congress sitting at Little York" sending dispatches. Martin was discharged in 1778 after serving his two year term of service. Martin PHIFER also swore under oath that he signed his name during his time in the army as Martin PFIFER. There is no mention of being at Valley Forge as some have suggested.
