Peter Phillips (August 11, 1731 β December 12, 1807) was a justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court from May 1780 to May 1786. Born in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, Phillips was the son of Christopher and grandson of Samuel Phillips. He was baptized on August 28, 1731, "being dangerously sick", but survived. In the American Revolution he "was an inflexible Whig, and rendered important service to his country during the war". He represented North Kingstown in the Rhode Island General Assembly, and subsequently in 1775, was promoted to the Rhode Island Senate. In May of that year, he was elected commissary of the Army of Observation, a body of fifteen hundred men raised by the state, of which Nathanael Greene was elected brigadier-general. Phillips was reelected state senator for 1776, 1777
