and she requested that the new flag
be given to a school which is in need
of one.
Regent Davis introduced the
organizing regent, Mrs. Kenneth
Brice, who presented the program,
“Capt. David Philips, an American
Patriot,” which was about the per-
sonour chapter was named after.
Mrs. Brice began her story with
David Philips’ grandfather, John
Philips, who was baptised into the
Baptist Church in 1692. He became
very activeand dedicated to his
church in Cilcam County, South
Wales. It was in John Philips’ home
that Joseph Philips and his bride,
Mary, were married in 1742 amd their
four sons, David, John, Josiah, and
Joseph were born.
In 1755, the Philips family im-
migrated to the American colonies
and settled in Philadelphia, Pa.,
where they are recorded as having
been active in the Baptist Churches
there.
With the beginning of the
Revolution, Joseph and Mary Philips
worked in their weaving shops
weaving materials for the uniforms
for the Continental Army. All four
sons joined the military service
where each were conunissioned.
David was made captain of the 2nd
Company, 7th Battalion, Chester
Company Militia in 1777. All served
throughout trie Revolutionary War.
Capt. David Philips was married to
Miss Mary Thomas and the couple
migrated to what was called the
“Great West” and settled near Pitt-
sburg, Pa. They were parents of 13
children.
David Philips had been educated
for the ministry. He founded the
Baptist Church in that area and
continued preaching there for 40
years. When the sanctuary was
rebuilt in 1966, a museum housing the
Rev. Philips’ artifacts and some of
those of the early church were put on
display. Near the museum on the
churchyard, a bell tower was con-
structed and a carillon of bells added.
At sunrise and sunset the bells peal
out the grand old hymns he loved so
well.
The Rev. David Philips died in 1829
and his wife in 1840. Both are buried
in th? churchyard of Library, Pa.,
Baptist Church where he preached
for so many years. The record states
that he served his country well in both
war and peace.
