WESLEY CHAPEL

John T. Phillips, husband of Emeline, born Feb. 5, 1819; died Nov. 13, 1881

Here's the Chronicle's death notice of my g grandparents, but I can't quite answer your question. Under head "WESLEY CHAPEL" the notice reads: "Several of our citizens went to Gilead last Sunday to hear Rev. Hester preach the funeral sermon of John Phillips and wife." They had died a couple days apart in typhoid epidemic. The "wife" was the Mrs. Emeline Phillips in the diary. So maybe Gilead was a settlement. I've been to Wesley Chapel Cemetery around the church and their graves are there.

Hansell's farm.
