Excerpt from Genealogy and History of the Phifer Family This book, containing the genealogy of the Phifer family, was written many years ago by Mr. Charles H. Phifer, late of Concord, N. C., but was never published. In order to preserve it, I caused a manuscript copy of it to be made, and this book is published from that copy. Thinking that! This Genealogy and History is worthy of being preserved for the benefit of the descendants of Martin Phifer, Sr., I have had the same published. It is my desire to place a copy of the publication in the possession of the descendants of Martin Phifer, Sr., as a family history, in order that the Genealogy and History of the family may be preserved.
