I would like to personally thank Linda Reynolds and Marcia Briggs for their help in locating information about my ggrandfather Solomon Phillips. As a result of your efforts, I spent most of today mucking around in the computer for more information.
Well what do you know, I was able to track Solomon's ancestory back to his ggrandfather William Phillips, b. 1602 in Providence Rhode Island. If you folks or anyone else can lead me to still more information about William Phillips, I would again be very appreciative.
What I found was that William and his wife Elizabeth had a child named Michael Phillips, b. 1625 Of. Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. Michael married Barbara, abt 1659 Of. Newport, Newport, Rhode Island. Michael and Barbara had a son Joseph Phillips, b. abt 1663, Newport, Town of Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island. Joseph Phillips married Elizabeth Malavery abt. 1698 and they had a child, David Phillips b. abt 1703. As you noted David and Susannah Burgess gave birth to Solomon about 1760.
I really hadn't expected the extent and timing of the responses you folks sent and am thrilled since I had only been able to trace back to Solomon. Now I have so much to go on.
Thanks again,
Roger
Oh yes, H.P. Lovecraft! The "P" stands for Phillips because his mother was
a Phillips from Foster, RI.
After doing a Google search, I came up with this website for Kenneth Faig:

A man named Kenneth Faig who lives in Illinois has done mountains of work on
the Phillips family. The RI writer Lovecraft is one of his special
interests, too, and might be a way to find him on the web. If you can't find
him let me know and I'll see if I can find his address for you. He has
covered absolutely everything in RI records and elsewhere.
