Philip's parentage is unknown but he may be the Philip Edwards baptized 4/17/1785 in Amherst MA, the son of Philip Edwards (c1760-1832) and Jerusha Pomeroy (1760-1847). Since the name Philip Edwards was not very common it makes absolute sense Philip of Amherst is the Philip of Holden but the evidence doesn't exist to connect the two.

After the death of his first wife Parnel Howe, his children Abigail and Parnel were adopted by Jonathan Crosby and Abigail Howe (Parnel's sister).

Philip's life ended badly, as he was murdered by a drunken John L Davis.

Another child of Philip and Martha's was George Philip Edwards who married Ellen [Nellie] M Stevens.
