Name	Mary Phillips [3]
Birth	20 Mar 1765	Amherst Co., Virginia
Gender	Female
Census	1810	Lewis Co., Kentucky [4]
Origins
Patriarch & Matriarch	John Phillips b. 1731, Virginia d. Abt 1798, Mason Co., Kentucky (Age 67 years) (Father) Sarah Foster b. 1733, Virginia bur. 1798 (Age ~ 65 years) (Mother)
Notes	Her father John Phillips is named in her marriage record. On the Phillips in Mason Co. see the documentation published by Lula Reed Boss in 1962 and 1971. Boss's work does not reach back to Virginia. And this is from E. Polk. Johnson, A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians, about her son John Payne Savage: "Mrs. Williams is a daughter of John P. Savage, a son of James Savage, of Revolutionary fame, he having served throughout the entire struggle for independence. After the close of the war, in 1791, James Savage removed from Virginia to Kentucky, with his wife and children. Settlement was made at Poplar Flat, Lewis county, Kentucky, some fourteen miles above Maysville. There Mr. Savage improved a fine farm from the virgin wilderness and in those early pioneer days it was necessary to barricade the doors against the attacks of Indians. The old homestead is now owned by the fifth generation of his descendants and the old log cabin built by him in the early days is still a part of the family residence. A fact worthy of record here is that during the many years which have elapsed since the time of the immigration of James Savage to Kentucky not a single death occurred in the house from disease until a few years ago. James Savage continued to reside on his homestead during the remainder of his life, and prior to his death, through thrift and industry, he had accumulated a large property, owning at one time a great number of slaves. His wife, whose maiden name was Mary Phillips, was a native Virginian and was descended from King Philip, of England. To Mr. and Mrs. James Savage were born eight children—six sons and two daughters." —BTW, there has never been a King Philip of England. [1, 2, 5]
