General Notes: Husband - Peter Phillips

---

He was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and learned the carpenter's trade, but in his after years engaged at farming. In the War of 1812 he entered Capt. George Hendel's company of the 5th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, as a private, and rose to the rank of second lieutenant. He participated in the battles of Bridgewater, Chippawa, Lundy's Lane, Burlington and other engagements on the Canadian border, was once wounded by Indians lying in ambush, and several times narrowly escaped being captured.
Thirty-five years before his death he built the Trindle Spring Lutheran and Reformed church, and within the portals of its cemetery his remains were laid.

He removed to Ohio in 1839, but after the death of his wife returned to Pennsylvania.
