SECOND GENERATION

Samuel Phillips

Daddy John's first son by MarySTOCKTON Phillips, Samuel, grew into a wise and financially astute man. He married Elizabeth TOMPKINS, whose family had founded Tompkinsville, KY. Governor Joseph Disha, of Kentucky deeded 242 acres to him in Cumberland County, KY as an apparent Land Grant. Since that would have made him 8 yr of age at the time of the deed, Mar 2, 1806, some genealogists believe that it was actually deeded to Daddy John, but had been found among the papers of Samuel Phillips. One or the other of them built on his land, and when the Tennessee-Kentucky state line was established, he found that his land was on the Tennessee side, and on the land of the Armstrong grant that extended to the state line. So he had settled in KY and found himself living in Tennessee!

Of the children of Samuel and Elizabeth Tompkins Phillips, this is known: William, Joseph, Ansolem, and Alexander fought as Rebels during the War Between the States; John, Jesse, James, and Martin fought as Union soldiers. Martin and John probably faced their brother Joseph and maybe another brother at Chickamauga, as they were with Sherman on his "March to the Sea". It appears that Alexander and William may have been in the 20th Tennessee Calvary under Nathan Bedford Forrest. Two of these men, Jesse and John, came back from the war and found that five of their children had died of the measles. All the children were under the age of 4 and died within 2 weeks of each other. They are buried side by side in a cemetery on the ridge overlooking what is now DALE HOLLOW LAKE.

A full cemetery listing of readable headstones is located on my links page under Dennis Cemetery.
