I Benjamin Colonna of Accomack County and State of Virginia aged eighty nine - years, a Revolutionary soldier do hereby certify, that I lived in the immediate neighbourhood of and was well acquainted with John Phillips; and I am positively certain that he served in the Revolutionary War.
He was in the Company Commanded by Capt. William Polk, attached to the Regiment Commanded by Col. William Parramore. To my certain knowledge all of the Militia Companies in this County were frequently called out to guard and defend exposed situations in the County. From my knowledge of the service of the Company Commanded by Capt. Polk, I am confident John Phillips was on military duty, more than two years, but of the exact time he was in Service, I cannot after this long lapse of time say with accuracy.
