Asaph Phillips (1764-1829) was born in Scituate, Rhode Island, and died in Foster, R.I. He married 1787 in Foster, Esther Whipple (1767- 1842), the daughter of Benedict Whipple and Elizabeth Mathewson. Asaph or Asa Phillips was the son of James Phillips and his wife (also his second cousin) Anna Phillips. The earliest known ancestor, Michael Phillips (b. ca. 1630, d. bef. 1686), was born probably in England or Wales. He became a freeman of Newport, R.I. in 1668. Family members live on Rhode Island, in Illinois and elsewhere.
