Philips Family History Notebook, 1746-1928. Genealogy of the Philips Family in America. Notebook compiled by the daughter of Rev. William Philips and Martha Hook Philips. The Rev. came to St. Joseph as rector for the Christ Episcopal church in 1869. His daughter Frances married into the Thomas Conrad family.
Philips converted to Catholicism in 1871, thus Frances, a young girl in 1871, was the only child raised in this faith. Martha, originally a devout Methodist, did not convert until several years after the death of her husband. Philips taught in Catholic Colleges in areas away from St. Joseph and visited his family in the summer. Of 15 children, only five lived to adulthood, several growing up in St. Joseph.
The Philips line is traced back to Thomas Philips in Manchester England.
