Notes

  • Before William;s birth, his parents wre enumerated in teh 1851 Wesh census.  His older sister Mary and brother Thomas were reported in the household around with some relatives and other boarders.  Some genealogies tell us Rachel's last name was Jenkins.  I have not been able to find reocrd documentation for her.

    William and his wife Annie Davies, also born in Wales, were enumerated in the 1900 US census in Fremont County, Colorado.  The dates reported for their immigration to the US and the number of yerars in the US indicate that William and Annie married in the US, presumably in Fremont County, Colorado.  Annie moved form Wales to the US in 1870.  William reported he arrived in 1872.

    1910 Federal Census, Greene County, Missouri, 22 April, Ash Grove, District 16, page 7B, Walker Street, Hse #188, Fam #159
    Phillips, William J Head M W 58 Married 32 yrs Wales Wales Wales Farmer Owns Immig to US 1872 Naturalized [b abt 1852]

    Phillips, Abbagail [sic] Dau F W 13 Colorado Wales Wales [b abt 1897]
    Phillips, Clyde Son  M W 10 Colorado Wales Wales [b abt 1900]

    Age reports for Annie are the same in the 1900 and 1910 censuses.  The 1910 census is consistent with the 1930 and 1940 censues.  But William's matches in both 1900 and 1910.  Lacking other records for the other children at this point, our conclusion is that Annie misreported her age, then stuck with the younger age for the next two censuses.  We notice that in this era overall, focus on ages was not as specific and exact as it became in the progress of the 20th century.

    1920 Federal Census, Fremont County, Colorado, 2 January, Precinct 7, District 58, page 12A, Hse/Fam #2

    Boyd, Clyde M W 19 Single Colorado Missouri Colorado [b abt 1900]

    William died some time before 1930.  In that census, his wife Annie was reported as a widow.

    1930 Federal Census, Fremont County, Colorado, 18 April, Precinct 29, District 22-44, page 2A, Hse/Fam #29

    Boyd, Margary [sic] Granddau F W 2yrs 7mos Colorado Missouri Colorado [b abt 1927]

    Annie's daughter Abbie had moved into Annie's home, with her four children, after Abbie's husband Robert A Boyd had left them.  They were apparently on Annie's farm, since the address is reported as a Precinct, rather than a town.  Before the 1940 census, Abbie married Louis Stowe, and in 1940 Annie was enumerated in their household in Portland.

    William's gravestone reports the year of his death as 1929.  His memorial on Find a Grave gives the full date of death as 29 March 1929.
