I was browsing the web, researching my Chapel Hill ancestors, when I discovered your Chapel Hill Cemetery website....contributed by your
students? In the cemetery, in Section I, some members of the Phillips family are buried. However, there is a gross error in your information of
this family as to who was who. Charles Phillips was a brother of Cornelia Phillips Spencer, and Samuel Fields Phillips NOT their father. The
parents of Charles, Cornelia, and Samuel were James Phillips (Prof. of Math at UNC) and his wife, Julia MiddaghVermeule. Those at the UNC who teach/study the history of the UNC as well as the families of Chapel Hill at the time of early university days...should be well informed of this .
