Philip's middle name has not been confirmed but may have been Yotes or Young. A county history said Phillip was born in New Jersey but might be innacurate since his parents were married in Hagerstown, MD at the edge of the frontier. Phillip's father was Robert Boyd who was born 1757 in transit on the Atlantic Ocean and served as a teamster for 6 months during the Revolution - married Eve Young (widow of Oliver Silverthorn and mother of Phillip Y. Boyd) in 1790 - Robert died in 1853 in Muskingum County, Ohio. Phillip moved from Muskingum County, Ohio with his family to Clay County, Indiana about 1851 and became a successful land owner/farmer. Phillip, a blacksmith by trade and supposedly of Irish descent, married Hannah Danhauer in 1833 in Muskingum Co, Ohio. Phillip's gravestone in Wesley Chapel is in the old section (far east) of the cemetery next to bushes and broken off from its base and also broken in half. It had been obscured by dirt, vegetation and overhanging sassafras trees but the inscriptions were clear and it photographed well. Hannah's stone, also broken from the base, was about 30 feet north of Phillip's imbedded in the ground.
