All I have on him is Source: CLARK COUNTY REPUBLICAN PRESS (Neillsville, Wis.) 07/26/1894 Philo Platt(1812 - 22 JUL 1894) died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Adams, in the town of Weston, Sunday, July 22, 1894, at the age of 82. Mr. Platt was born in N.Y. and came to Loyal in 1867. His remains were brought to this city on the 1 p.m. train Tuesday, and were taken to York Center, where the funeral services were conducted from the M.E. Church by Rev. Foster. His wife Polly died June 21, 1886 Neillsville, WI My ancestor came from France, lived in Maine and Vermont and had 8 children Robert 1824, benjamin, Mary, Judith, Eunice, James, Alanders, & Joshua. My ancestor Robert remained in Franklin Co VT and had 11 daughters (poor man!) The rest of his family moved on to Waukesha Co.Wisconsin . There was another family of Platts in Swanton, VT just across from Plattsburgh, NY that originate - if I remember right- from Middle(town) Connecticut. Middle something anyway just south of Hartford. I know that in the 1880 census your Philo said his father was born Vermont and mother CT.
