Phillip travelled to the mountains of Buncombe Co. North Carolina in the early 1800's or before
and settled in what is now called both Henderson and Polk Counties. ~ He acquired large parcels of land
including tracts on both sides of the Green River along the old Howard Gap Road.~~~~ There he built an inn,
a waystation for travellers and their stock to rest and to aid them in crossing the rapids of the Green River below. It is apparent that Phillip was a man of means, ambition, knowledge and foresight.
