THIRD GENERATION


(The Civil War Generation)

Of Sam and Betsey Phillips' nine sons, one had died at the age of seven from tuberculosis of the bone, four had fought as Rebels, and four as Union soldiers: John serving in the F Co. 5th Ky Cav, Martin Van Buren serving in the F Co.6th Ky Cav according to the 1890 Civil War Veterans Census.
This tearing apart of families was typical for the Kentucky and Tennessee region during the war. While I don't have all their unit affiliations, in point of fact, it is highly possible that the brothers Phillips faced each other at Chickamauga and other campaigns.
Jesse Phillips was a soldier in the Fourth Civil District,possibly in A Company, Thirteenth KY Volunteer Infantry, USA. If the Jesse M. Phillips listed on the company roster is our Jesse Philllips, he was a private enlisted 09/18/1861 and mustered out 12/12/1865 at Louisville, KY. These are the roots that sprang from Jesse's seed:
