Mr. Alexander's book stated that Jeremiah came to the states from Sussex, England. George is a common name and frequently found during the different generations. You will find several different Phillips' families in the Mercer & Anderson County area. In checking some of Mr. Alexander's references, I located my William in Woodford County in 1807-1818. William died in 1854 in Anderson County. For the record, Anderson County was formed in 1827 from Franklin, Mercer and Washington Counties. Mr. Alexander mentions in his book that a George Nicholas Phillips of Mercer County, Kentucky served from Amherst County, VA. However, Jeremiah's son was named George Mitchell Phillips.
