Philip was the son of William Sinclair Dimmitt and his first wife, Mary Ann Trapnall. He was a very interesting person, and his exploits on the Texas frontier are a great chapter in Dimmitt history. Dr. Miller cites an unpublished masters thesis by a descendant, Catherine George, as the most comprehensive material on Philips' life. This was entitled "The Life of Philip Dimitt" and I believe was done at the University of Texas; it is possible you could order a copy through the university library, or obtain it on interlibrary loan.
William Sinclair Dimmitt was the son of James Dimmitt (1737-1803) and Rachel Sinclair; James was the son of William Dimmitt (1711-?) and Catherine Warden Bull (also my ancestors). That William was the son of William Dimmitt (ca. 1683-1751) and his wife Elizabeth ----; that William was the son of William Dimmitt (ca. 1650-1710/11) by his first wife, whose name is unknown (his second wife was Susannah Cole). While William is the earliest ancestor known for certain, Dr. Miller suspected strongly that William was the son of a Thomas Dymmett, of whom there is record of his sailing from England in 1635 for America (but no record of him actually arriving here).
