One more thing, Ted, with regard to the Battle of Kettle Creek, Joel Phillips' name does not appear on the main memorial marker, according to this list at rootsweb:

I have been told that Joel Phillips' headstone which is near the Phillips Mill Baptist Church is inscribed as follows:
Joel Phillips
Continental Line
Rev. War
1792
The Battle of Kettle Creek was fought by Georgia and SC Militia, not the Continental Line.If Joel was in the Continental Line, he was probably not in the Militia.These were two separate forces.
If you do make it out to the old Phillips Mill property, I would love to see a picture of Joel's headstone.
