The Ralph Phillips Presleys of Ashville, NC
I am researching my husbands family (Presley,Bell,Phillips) I was very interested to find the grave of Adam Phillips in Bethesda Cemetery on Haw Creek Rd. Asheville, NC. The inscription on the grave marker was "Adam PhillipsPVT Lockes NC Regt. Rev. War 4-4-1858. In the same plot is Rev. Geo H. Bell 8-21-1845, 1-24-1923. wife Martha 10-30-1844, 2-13-1904 The research I have done so far shows Adam Phillips was born in 1783 and died Sept. 1859.His birth date does not add up with the Rev. War.If anyone can shed light on Lockes NC Regt. or any other information, I would love it.I believe I am missing a generation and this Adam Phillips may be Martha Bells Grandfather and not her father. | The Ralph Phillips Presleys of Ashville, NC Updated October 4, 2000 |
