- Paul Campbell Phillips (c.1844-1864)
In addition to Mary Ellen and Franklin Somers, Franklin and Evelena had a third child, Paul Campbell Phillips, who died of fever near Petersburg, Virginia 7 July 1864. The military records for Paul Campbell Phillips sometimes list him, as Paul George or George, a mistake that is understandably propagated in Raiford's excellent book on the 4th North Carolina Calvary Regiment -- but his middle name was Campbell after his maternal grandfather Hugh Campbell. Likewise James Gallanton (Gal) Fullington (died 1888), who was also in the 4th, is misnamed in the records. James Gallanton Fullington married Miranda Campbell.

Franklin Phillips
Sir I regret very much to inform you of the death of your son. He departed this life on the 7 of the month. He was confined to his bed 17 days. He had all the attention that any man could get. I visited him in his sickness. He was at a private house by the name of Perkins. Mr. & Mrs Perkins was very kind to him, done all in their power for him. He had Typhoid fever. I tried very hard to send his body home but failed, the Gen would not sign a furlough for any body to carry him. I had him decently buried in a good coffin, I attended to it myself. I marked his grave so if you wanted to get his body so you could find it. He had 50 cts in silver & a few postage stamps in his pocket book. Jarrel Powell has his pocket book. The Yankees visited the house while he was there. They stole his hat & some other things. I sent his horse to you the 14th by Mart & all his clothes. I hope they will arrive safe.
Say to his wife that he died in his right mind & expressed a great desire to see her before his died. He said he was willing to die but preferred to die at home. He died very easy like going to sleep without a struggle. Tell her any thing I can do for her in settling up his claims with (the) goverment or in any other way, I will with the greatest pleasure.
Yours with much respect
Jas. T. Mitchell
Capt. Co (B) 4th N.C. Cav
