Philips, James, ca. 1800-1838 : James Philips was an innkeeper and merchant in Bastard Township, Leeds County. He was County Secretary, as well as one of the Vice-Presidents, of the Leeds County Reform organization. In 1837, he went to the United States, where he joined the Hunters' Lodges. He was killed, 13 November 1838, at Windmill Point, near Prescott, while rallying his men, who were under attack by the loyal Canadian Militia led by Lieutenant-Colonel Ogle R. Gowan.

An historical plaque commemorating the career of James Philips was erected in 1975 in the hamlet of Philopsville, which was named after him. His daughter Maria (1830-1913), who married Miles Lockwoode (1834-1914), adopted Frank Stone, father of Talmage H. Stone.
