Timothy:I was hoping someone would step forward and answer your question concisely.Since no one has, I'll give you a framework.We have several branches of the Hunterdon Co. Nj Phillips family in Fayette Co. (also Greene and Washington Co.'s) PA.
Col. Theophilus Phillips and John Phillips who married Eunice Howell are the two earlier entries, and they may both have come to Fayette by way of Maryland, and both have a connection to the Prather family of Maryland.These two men are roughly the same age, and are old enough to be the grandfather of your Daniel H. Phillips.
Second is the arrival of Job Phillips' sons Richard and John in Fayette, of an age to be the father of your Daniel.Other immigrants to these counties seem to be the sons of Philip Phillips Jr.These men were named Chryance and Edmund.There were also Titus and Elijah Phillips.These last four were born in the 1760's.
Howell as a middle name for your Daniel is a good guess.Two daughters of Daniel Howell in NJ married Phillips.Phebe married Job, so their sons Richard (b1765) and John (b1775) are candidates to be your ancestor.They would be grandsons of Daniel Howell.This Richard appears to have lived in Fayette as late as 1810, before moving.The wife of this John appears to be Mary.They lived in Fayette into the 1840's.They had brothers Daniel and Joseph who remained in NJ.
Phebe's sister Eunice Howell married John Phillips in NJ.I had thought I could show that this John was the brother of Job, but I cannot.He appears to be more associated with Col. Theophilus, and perhaps they are the sons of Philip Phillips and grandsons of Theophilus and Frances () Phillips of Maidenhead.John and Eunice moved on to Adams County, Ohio, where they died.They had a son Daniel and seceral other sons, old enough to be the father of your Daniel H.
Do you have any other evidence?You have a record I take it of your Daniel being born in Fayette?But not his birthdate?Where did he go next?Do you have any mention of siblings?
