Family Group 15 has a new yDNA match.  This Philips family traces its Philips line back to Pennsylvania in the 1700s.  In western Pennsylvania at the close of the Revolutionary War, there were descendants of Joseph Philips (born about 1716) and Owen Philips who are believed to have been brothers.  Y-DNA testing of descendants of both have confirmed this theory.  Congratulations to Family Group 15!
