=== Battle of Phillips Corners === [[File:ToledoMIBox.JPG|thumb|right|A box labeled "Toledo, Mi" that may have been used by the Michigan Militia during the Toledo War]] After the election, Lucas believed that the commissioners' actions had alleviated the situation and once again sent out surveyors to mark the Harris Line. The project proceeded without serious incident until April 26, 1835, when the surveying group was attacked by 50 to 60 members of General Brown's militia in the Battle of Phillips Corners.<ref name=Galloway214/><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.remarkableohio.org/index.cfm?action=search_markers.marker_details&marker_id=621 |title= The Ohio–Michigan Boundary War: Battle of Phillips Corners Marker #2–26 |work= Remarkable Ohioan |access-date= May 13, 2006 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151122132125/http://www.remarkableohio.org/index.cfm?action=search_markers.marker_details&marker_id=621 |archive-date= November 22, 2015 }}</ref> As the only site of armed conflict, the battle's name is sometimes used as a [[synonym]] for the entire Toledo War.
