   SAMUEL R. PHILLIPS, farmer, P. O. Forest, Hardin County, born in Athens
County, Ohio, July 30, 1815, is a son of Daniel and Abigail (Cady) Phillips,
natives of Vermont and Connecticut, respectively, who resided for some years
near Cooperstown, N. Y., and afterward moved to Pennsylvania; they came to
Marietta, Ohio, in 1812, and finally settled in Ames Township, Athens Co., Ohio,
in 1814, and there Daniel Phillips died in 1831; his father was a soldier under
Gen. Washington in the war of the Revolution for seven years, and died in 1835.
The mother of Daniel Phillips was present at the massacre at Wyoming. Samuel R.
Phillips, the subject of this sketch, came to Delaware Township, this county,
with his mother and an elder brother, Job, in the fall of 1835; his mother
resided here until her death, which occurred in 1849, in her seventy-sixth year.
In August, 1836, he entered eighty acres of land, which he still owns; there is
but one other man in Delaware Township, this county, who is living on land
originally entered by himself from the Government. Mr. Phillips has added eighty
acres of land, to his original entry and now owns 160 acres of fine farming
land. In 1842 he taught the first school in his district, teaching in all four
terms. July 8, 1849, he married Miss Matilda Roby, who was born in Franklin
County, Ohio, January 30, 1817, and came to Hardin County, Ohio, in 1S33 with
her parents, Josiah and Margaret (Elsey) Roby. To Samuel E. Phillips and wife
were born three sons: David Isaac, Daniel Josiah (deceased) and Samuel Hanson.
Our subject cast his first presidential vote for Henry Clay, and has supported
the Whig and Republican parties ever since. He and his wife are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Phillips is a man of upright principles and
strict integrity, greatly respected and esteemed by all who know him.
