Philip was the eldest son of George Washington Uhler (born 9 Jan 1809) and Anna "Maria" (Reese) Uhler, who married on 21 Jan 1831. Anna is possibly #199655878.
Philip [1st] married Sophia (Werdebaugh) Uhler (c.1835 - 17 Mar 1884) on 5 Dec 1867. They had a son, Horace Scudder Uhler (5 Aug 1872 - 6 Dec 1956). Horace was a Professor Emeritus of Physics at Yale University at the time of his death.
Philip [2nd] married Julia "Pearl" Berry (Daniels) Uhler (1859 - 10 Nov 1947) on 29 Apr 1886.
Philip was educated at the private Latin School of Daniel Jones on Eutaw Street in Baltimore City and at Baltimore College. After leaving school, Philip was a clerk in his father's store for several years. In the 1850 U.S. Census, Philip was listed as a "clerk."
Philip went on the Rodgers and Ringgold North Pacific Exploring Expedition (1853) and the Northwest Boundary Survey (1857). During at least the 1853 Expedition, Philip reported on insects. He had begun to collect insects after his father bought a farm near Baltimore. This farm was probably in Lutherville in Baltimore County as George Washington Uhler lived there in the 1860 U.S. Census. In 1864, George's dry goods shop was at 164 Franklin in Baltimore City, but he lived in Lutherville.
In the 1860 U.S. Census, Philip lived in the 12th Ward of Baltimore City, and he was a "dry goods merchant." His brother, Dr. John Reese Uhler (3 May 1839 - 9 Oct 1911), was living with him. John was a surgeon with the 5th MD Infantry Regiment from 16 Nov 1861 - 1 Sept 1865 during the Civil War. He was Acting Assistant Surgeon for the U.S. Army from 1862-64. He was a Surgeon with the 5th Regiment of U.S. Volunteers from 1864-65.
Not having a great fondness for business, Philip became an assistant librarian in the Peabody Library from about 1861-1864. In 1864, Philip was the first person to collect insect specimens and place them in a museum. He then became an entomologist at Harvard College, but eventually returned to Baltimore City, Maryland.
Important parts or all of Philip's collection of Heteroptera are housed on the fifth floor, East Wing, of the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.
Philip contributed a "Report Upon the Collections of Hemiptera made in Portions of Nevada, Utah, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona During the Years 1871, 1873, and 1874" in the "Report Upon Geographical and Geological Explorations and Surveys West of the One Hundredth Meridian, Volume 5, Zoology." The first edition book was printed in 1875 by the Government Printing Office in Washington, DC. The volume contains 16 technical papers by eminent 19th century American zoologists covering a wide variety of subjects. The report was done by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The ‘John L. LeConte Papers' have six of Philip Reese Uhler's letters dated from 1854-75, some of which pertain to the Northwest Boundary Survey.
From 1876-80, Philip was on the staff of Johns Hopkins University as a Professor of Natural History.
In the 1880 U.S. Census, Philip and Sophia lived on Hoffman Street in Baltimore City, Maryland, and he was a "librarian." In 1900 Baltimore City Directory, Philip was listed as a "provost and librarian" at the Peabody Institute. In the 1910 Census, Philip and Pearl lived at 254 West Hoffman Street in Baltimore City, and he was a "provost for the Peabody Library."
