My father who was raised in the Phillips Co. in Montana by the name of Lynn Phillips once told me that Ben Phillips was a cousin of his, but as a lot people do, I did not ask him for any details. Now my gt, gt, gt, grandfather William Phillips came from wales and came to America in 1794 or so and I wonder if anybody know anything about these Philips. A very helpful man sent me this census. There was another man on the list that he was interested in and he had the list and sent me these census. 1900 Census of Choteau Co., Harlem Township, HH # 142/153 Phillips, ????         Head W M  May -57 43 m 13y  Utah Wales Wales Stockman              Emma      Wife W F          June -66 34 m 13y 7/4 WI     Ger Ger              Benjamin  Son W M ???   -82  17 s  MT     UT      WI              Walter     Son W M ???   -95    5 s MT     UT      WI              Sarah       Daughter W F ???   -97    3 s CA      UT      WI              Roy         Son  W M Jan.  -99   1 s MT     UT       WI              Benj.
