Biography

Not to be confused with Jeremiah(s) Phillips.

Jeremy Phillips' birth year is estimated from his age (70-75) at death which occurred about 1822. He was a farmer in Gloucester, and was buried on the homestead farm there, so it has been assumed he was also born in Glocester (Phillips, A. M., 1885).

Jeremy had four sons (Robert, Stephen, David and Bani) and two daughters (names not given). Phillips (1885) records the birth date of only one of his sons; David.
