Joseph Philips was an early settler, emigrated in 1891 (Note: this date is obviously a typo, and probably should be 1791) with his wife, Milbrey Horn, from Edgecomb County, N.C. to Davidson County, and settled six miles north of Nashville. His ancestry for several generations, both paternal and maternal, were natives of Edgecomb Province under the Colonial government. "Joseph Philips served as guide for the Continental forces and participated in the Battle of Kings Mountain. Mathew Philips, brother of Joseph Philips, commanded a regiment of troops and died preceeding the Battle of Kings Mountain, from an overdraught of water."

He and his family are buried in private burial ground on his home place. == They are not connected (that I know of) to my Ezekiel Phillips, born 1778 in MD and was in Robertson County by early 1800's; however, his son Preston D. Phillips, born 1820 in Sumner County was married in 1835 to Amanda Appleton in Davidson County TN... I am still searching for more on Ezekiel's ancestry, and on Amanda Appleton.
