Notes - Philip served with the 12th New York Volunteer Cavalry during the Civil War. from 12 February 1863 to 19 July 1865. He originally entered service as a major with the 5th New York Cavalry Regiment on 27 July 1861, serving with that unit until 1 July 1862. The 5th Cavalry started on its first campaign down the Shenandoah Valley in April 1862, and at Front Royal, Strasburg and Middletown, sustaining a loss of 75 killed, wounded and missing. As General Banks fell back before General Jackson, the regiment was cut off at Strasburg, but saved Banks' wagon train and Hampton's battery, and escorted them in safety by a circuitous route through the mountains into Maryland.
