Washington Twp. -
JACOB PHILLIPS, farmer, post office,
Utica. - He was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, Feb. 4,
1823. His parents came to that county in 1816, from
Pennsylvania, and settled on a farm of sixty acres,
purchased of a Mr. Comstock, one and one-quarter
miles from West Carlisle. This land was all timber.
His father had built for him a hewed log cabin.
Jacob remained at home with his father until he was
twenty-six years of age, attending school and assisting on
the farm. There were ten boys and two girls in the
family, of whom seven are living, scattered about the
country. In 1849 his father purchased one hundred and
twenty acres near Fallsburgh, Licking county, where he
moved. He was married Feb. 8, 1849, to Annie M.
Painter. She was born Nov. 2, 1831, in Licking
county. Her parents came to Muskingum county from
Virginia, in an early day. After his marriage he
remained in Fallsbury township with the exception of one
year (1854), when they lived in Eden township until 1877,
when he moved to Utica, where he now resides. He sold
eighty acres of land in Fallsbury, and purchased a house and
lot in Utica, and fifteen acres of land near the line of
Licking and Knox counties, which he works. They have
had twelve children: Malinda, Jane, born June
14, 1851; David Thomas, Apr. 13, 1853; Margaret E.,
July, 1854; Francis M., Apr. 26, 1856, and died Mar.
16, 1857; Rachel I. born Jan. 24, 1857, and died June
9, 1858. John William born Apr. 28, 1859, and
died Aug. 15, 1859; Mary E., born May 25, 1860, and
died Sep. 5, 1860; Rebecca Mariah born Dec. 22, 1861;
Charles Sherman Sept. 6, 1864; Estra M., Nov.
4, 1866; Ora A. May 1, 1869; Jacob Grant, Mar.

married to Russell Harmon and lives in Knox county.
David Thomas is married to Clara Bagley and
lives in Uniontown, Muskingum county, and has two children.
He is a blacksmith, and carries on his business at his
place. Maggie is a school teacher, and the
balance of the family reside at home. In 1863 Mr.
Phillips joined the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth
national guard, and on the second of May, 1864, they were
called into service by order of Governor Brough
They were sent into Virginia, and participated in the battle
of North mountain, and were taken prisoners by General
Early, and sent to Andersonville, where they arrived on
the twenty-seventh of July, 1864, and were kept until
November 2nd; they removed to Millen prison; kept about
eighteen days, and from there to Savannah, where they were
paroled Nov. 25, 1864. During their imprisonment their
treatment was very severe. Their food was not fit for
any human being, and very short at that, their rations
consisted of corn bread and beans, were issued once a day,
and if a prisoner became unruly, Wirtz would cut off
his supply. It was not unfrequent that he was two days
without anything to eat. Water was very scarce until
the rebels, in digging a trench around the prison in order
to discover tunnels, struck a vein of water which seemed
providential; after that water was very plenty. At
this time there were about thirty thousand prisoners on the
island, and during this time he contracted a disease, from
which he never will be free, and which troubles him
considerably; otherwise he is in the prime of life, and
enjoys life with his family as well as could be expected
from the hardships he has experienced.
