We have just added two new Phillips families identified through matching yDNA: Phillips Family Group 51 and Phillips Family Group 52. The earliest known paternal Phillips ancestor in Group 51 is James Phillips who was born around 1802 or 1803 probably in Pittsylvania County, Virginia and the earliest known paternal Phillips ancestor in Group 52 is Thomas Phillips who was born 1745 in Loughor, Wales. Both of the members of Group 52 are British and they did not know prior to DNA testing that they were related.
