General Notes: Husband - Robert Phillips

---

He came to America about 1840, and settled at Manchester, now a part of the city of Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and shortly afterward moved to the old Claney farm at Mt. Oliver, then to a farm on Neville Island. Here he started, with almost nothing, to follow the avocation of a gardener, and before his death he had accumulated a fortune, owning a great deal of land. Mr. Phillips made a specialty of raising asparagus, and his place was fully equipped with all the latest improvements, having barges; pumps, etc. On one of his farms he built a brick residence overlooking the Ohio river, which was a beautiful home, costing, at that time, $16,000.
He was a prominent democrat, and a member of the Episcopal Church; his wife was a Presbyterian.
