Philip Whitten's wife Delilah Cain, daughter of Jonathan Cain and Barbary Harrell. According to W.C. Whitten, information on this line can be founPhillip's wife was d in Pearsons Revised, 1975, by Elmer B. Hazie. The estate settlement of Barbary Cain, dated January 11, 1814, names her daughter, Delilah, as wife of Phillip Whitten of Union District, S.C. See Equity Roll #122, Union County, South Carolina, filed July 26, 1824.

According to Toni Brahier of Georgia, it is not known where Philip Whitten and Delilah Cain were buried, but from talking with descendants of Rebecca Philip Whitten, Miss Gena Neely in particular, it appears that they are probably buried with Rebecca and her husband at Sharpsburg, Georgia. When taking pictures of the cemetery, it appears that there are at least two more unmarked graves beside Rebecca's grave. Assuming the tradition of the parents of the bride being buried beside her, this would be Philip and Delilah. Miss Neely said that they did live with Rebecca and her husband when they had become older and of ill health.
