JAMES P. PHILLIPS was born June 7, 1851, in Warren County, Ky.; in 1863 
removed with his parents to Butler County; in 1868 he returned to Warren 
County, and in 1883 he located in the northeast part of Allen County, 
where he has since resided.  His father, Aaron Phillips, a native of 
Warren County, born in 1809, is now living.  He is the son of Morris 
Phillips, a native of South Carolina, who removed to Kentucky when a 
young man, and died in Warren County about 1855, aged nearly one hundred 
years.  His father was Stephen Phillips.  Aaron was twice married; first 
to Jane Thomas, and their children are Moses, who died in the army, 
Elizabeth (Lyles), Melinda, deceased, and Sidney.  He next married, in 
1845, Henrietta, daughter of Matthew and Mary Allen, of Davidson County, 
Tenn., born in 1822, and from their union sprang Mary J. (Clark), George 
W., James P., Franklin P. and Tennessee M. (Phelps).  January 5, 1876, 
James P. Phillips married Marrietta, daughter of David and Amanda 
(Rector) Jewell, of Allen County, born January 22, 1860, and to them 
have been born Carrie D., Mary J., Lurinnie, George E. and Maude.  By 
industry, frugality and strict attention to business, Mr. Phillips has 
accumulated a comfortable competency.  He engaged in merchandising for a 
season at Claypool, in which he lost money.  He is a farmer, having 243 
1/2 acres of well improved and productive land.  He is a member of the 
Christian Church and in politics a Democrat.
