- Biographical Description
- Phill was enslaved by James Neilson of New Brunswick, New Jersey, in the mid-18th century. While she was enslaved by Neilson, she worked for a time for Samuel Hallett of Hallett's Cove (in present-day Queens, New York). She ran away from Hallett's Cove in 1763, prompting James Neilson to publish a runaway notice offering a reward of twenty shillings for Phill's capture and return.
