Phillips Family Cemetery
The Philips Family Cemetery is located on private property on the north side of Hutcheson Ferry Rd, west of Campbellton Redwine Rd in Chattahoochee Hills, GA.
In a 2008 interview with the property owner Buddy Jarrard, he talked about the family lineage. Buddy said, “The land was acquired by Levi Phillips through the Coweta County Land Lottery of 1827 and an additional land purchase in 1833. Levi built his first dwelling near Phillips Ferry Road and operated Phillips Ferry across the Chattahoochee River. He later built a one-room structure in 1840, which is now the kitchen of the Ancestral Homplace. Levi died in 1852 and was buried in the small family cemetery close to the first dwelling. His second wife Elizabeth, daughter Delia Phillips, and granddaughter Willie Hines Sewell, lived in the Ancestral Homeplace.” For more information, see the “Ancestral Homeplace of Phillips • Abercrombie • Jarrard” Also see the Genealogy report by Anoni Muss included in this Cemetery Project Report. This property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the 1996 Roscoe-Dunaway Gardens Historic District (#96001314). |
