He also operated a mill and owned a store. During the American Revolution, Callbeck was taken prisoner by New England privateers in the Raid on Charlottetown (1775), shortly after being named colonial administrator during Patterson's absence. He was released and returned to the island by May 1776. After Patterson's return, Callbeck supported the seizure and sale of several townships for arrears. He ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1784; he was named speaker for the assembly in 1788. After criminal charges were brought against Patterson in London, Callbeck was removed from office in 1789. He died in Charlottetown in 1790. His grandson Henry Callbeck later served in the provincial assembly. Catherine Callbeck who served as premier of Prince Edward Island, and as a member of the Senate of Canada is also a direct descendant of Phillips Callbeck. (en)
