Sylvan Hall Cemetery

The Philips' Sylvan Hall Cemetery received it's first body sometime soon after the death of Rebecca, the daughter of Joseph Philips and his wife Milbrey Horn.  She was born on 16 April 1790 in Edgecombe County NC and made the trip from NC to TN with her parents.  She died in July of 1792 at two years of age.  Joseph didn't sign the purchase agreement to buy the 640 acres where she is buried until 21 December 1792, six months after she died.  So, it's not clear when she was buried there, but she is likely the first of the family buried in the cemetery.

On 2 March 2010 I visited the Sylvan Hall cemetery and took the video below showing the condition of the cemetery and wall around it.  All in all, it's not in bad shape for a cemetery that has been in existence for around 200 years.  However it does need tending to.  At the least, the small trees and shrubs growing inside the wall need to be cut.  Even better would be a complete restoration of all of the headstones to the condition it was in in the photos above.
 
The wall itself appears to be in reasonably good condition with only one of the cap-stones being slightly out  of place.  A large oak tree that stood on the south west corner outside the wall fell last year causing only minor damage and it has been removed.

The Sylvan Hall Cemetery is located on a hill in a residential neighborhood off of Dickerson Pike just south of Old Hickory Blvd.  The yellow line between Dickerson Pike and the house represents the location of the original entrance to the house.  The cemetery is the burial place of many of the family of Joseph and Milbry Philips as well as several of the family of Eliaha and Sarah Williams and Josiah and Margaret Williams.

The following two maps are Davidson County tax maps.  The first map shows the location of Joseph Philips' home and cemetery.  The second map shows just the location of the cemetery.

The next two pictures show the Philips' Sylvan Hall Cemetery as viewed from the air.

I've pulled together a document which groups all of the available information that has been published about each of the grave markers in the Sylvan Hall Cemetery along with birth and death and relationship information on each of the individuals included in the document.  It includes my best interpretation of the information on each headstone based on available information.

<Sylvan Hall Inscriptions

The following came from Frances Martin, the wife of James Roderick (Rod) Martin, a descendant of Martha (Patsy) Philips and her husband, Thomas Martin, a doctor from Louisiana who was of Irish descent. Martha Patsy Philips was the daughter of Joseph Philips, Jr., and Milberry Horn.

In Joseph Philips’s Will, as part of Item 4 William D. Philips is given "the land on which I now live, together with all that I purchased…" and as the last sentence of Item 4 "I will and order such sum as may be necessary in the opinion of my executors, be by them expended in enclosing the family graveyard." Perhaps that is the reason a "substantial rock wall" still surrounds the cemetery. --From a photocopy from microfilm of the will of Joseph Philips, Deceased. Recorded September 3, 1822, in Will Book #8 1821-1826 of Davidson County, TN. Unfortunately I got this copy before realizing that I needed to record the source of the microfilm. I think I made the copy from records in Clayton Library in Houston where they have a lot of microfilm of Davidson County TN records.

An unusually substantial wall was built around the family graveyard, after the death of Joseph Philips. The wall is about three feet in height by three feet in thickness and was constructed by the Philips slaves, no doubt, from slabs of native limestone taken from one of the neighboring quarries.

Several large trees just outside the wall, possibly slanted as young saplings over a hundred years ago, shade the gravestones now in the summer. The graveyard is located on the very crest of a hill rising several hundred yards behind the brick homestead and outhouses, and overlooks the gently rolling, rich fields below and a cheerful brook that flows not far from the house—a pleasant retreat for the shade of the old pioneer from the Carolinas and his descendants, and a gentle reminder to the passing traffic on the paved highway at the foot of the hill, that time is indeed fleeting, and that he who would leave evidence of his having lived for oncoming generations to observe must choose wisely and build exceedingly well.

Milberry Horn Philips, mother of nine children, was left a widow, on May 22, 1822. Three of the children having died before the death of their father, Milberry remained with her only surviving son, William Duncan Philips, and lived at the homestead where she had first started her life in Tennessee;

‘Sylvan Hall’ is six miles from Nashville on the beautiful Dickerson Pike. Milberry died in her 87th year, and is buried by the side of her husband in the graveyard where he had been put to rest twenty-nine years before."

--From "A Brief Sketch of the BATTLE, PHILIPS, WILLIAMS Families in Tennessee," compiled by Katherine Waits Ewing…1933.

(This I found on microfilm in the McIver Collection at the Tennessee State Archives. One of Martha "Patsy" Philips Martin’s daughters married a McIver and her descendants gave many documents, enough to fill three rolls of microfilm, to the Archives. The original copy of Martha Philips Martin’s memoirs is there along with copies of letters to and from relatives. I purchased copies of all three microfilms so I could have them here in Texas to study.)

The microfilm is #1241 and consists of three reels of 35 mm film.
