    PHILLIPS Cody Phillips
    Zachariah PHILLIPS Jr., my gggrandfather was born in 1810 at Little River, Baldwin County, Alabama and died in 1877. Little River is just north of Fort Mims. His burial site can be found just inside Monroe County at the Little River Baptist Church Cemetery. His wife, Elizabeth is buried next to him. Zachariah was part Creek Indian. Zachariah's father, Zachariah PHILLIPS Sr., is mentioned in a book detailing the events prior to and during the raid against the Creeks at Burnt Corn. According to the book, Zachariah PHILLIPS Sr. was elected (or selected by his group) to be a Major and led the Little River militia, along with militia groups from other areas, in the Battle of Burnt Corn.
