Thomas was listed in Cowell's Spirit of '76 index as being a lieutenant in the regiment from Kings and Kent Counties, RI during the American Revolutionary War. His name appears on a 1779 and a 1781 roster of Rhode Island men who served. He is found in the 1777 and 1782 Rhode Island censuses. Administration of the estate of Thomas Phillips was given to his widow Elizabeth on 16 Aug 1785, with inventory taken two days later (Huling Gen:107). Their daughter, Mary, asked that Samuel Phillips (likely her older brother, who was of age) be her guardian. Dorcas has a gravestone in the Beriah Brown Cemetery in N.
