Note: ved $119.47 from the estate of Elihu L. Phillips (1800-1884). This indicates that Boughton G. Phillips was a nephew of Elihu L. Phillips (see notes under the latter).
His parents' Bible (in possession of Nick Sheedy) show his birth date as 8 May 1828. He was probably born in Niagara Co., New York. The family was living in Parma Twp., Genesee (now Orleans) Co., NY in 1820, and then in Porter Twp., Niagara Co., NY in 1830. Old notes and the family Bible indicate they lived in Lockport, which is just south of Porter Twp., Niagara Co.
The family moved to la grange, Cass Co., Michigan, in 1833 or 1834, where his father died in 1838.
I have not found the family on the 1840 US Census. His mother re-married The Rev. William Taylor in 1841, and removed to Schoolcraft, Kalamazoo Co., Michigan.
