  Nathan Phillips was the son of Thomas and Mary Phillips. Thomas who was born in 1755 in Dorchester, Maryland, the son of Philemon Phillips. Nathan and Nancy Elledge were married by Joseph Harper in Bath County, Kentucky, 12 Dec 1818. He was a physician. On 22 October 1828, their small family became the third family of their settlement group to arrive in Griggsville, Pike County, Illinois. The Elledges, Scholls, and Boones were a family unit, descendants of Squire and Rebecca Morgan Boone. They were on the road as soon as the Western Lands were open for settlement. Military records show, and in September 1861 Nancy, as a widow, swore that her husband entered service in Fayette County. She stated the discharge papers had been destroyed by fire when their home burned about 15 Feb 1829. Pvt. Phillips was a member of the 17th Regiment, Kentucky Militia, known as Francesco's Militia He was discharged as a private. **Source: Gene Clark in Genealogy Trails, Pike County Illinois ≈❧❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧ Notes on Burial ❧❦❧❧❧❧❦≈ Dr. Philips died in 1852 and was buried in the old, now defunct Phillips-Davis Cemetery, located on a river bluff near the Illinois River. Nature has reclaimed the area. The stone marker that was placed on his grave in the old cemetery has been repaired. It now stands in Bethel Cemetery. It is not known if his remains were reinterred; but that was a common practice in the mid 1800s. Comtributed by Anna Jaech
