The following is an excerpt from an old biography about Phillip Eastham Strother and his parents, written by Rev. Burchett, a personal acquaintance, who was greatly influenced by him. Phillip Strother was a minister of the gospel:
"Philip Strother was born March 27th, 1780 in Culpeper County Virginia. His parents were respectable folks and belonged to the upper ten. They owned a good farm and had negroes to work it. I think they belonged to the established Church of England. They however, joined the Baptist church and freed their Negroes. His father was Anthony Strother and his mother's maiden name was Frances Eastham. She was set in luxury and ease but when they set their negroes free she went to work as though she had always been used to it. Philip Strother was first cousin to Gen. Zachariah Taylor's mother and to the mother of Gen Gaines."
