History of Reedsburg and the Upper Baraboo Valley, by Merton Edwin Krug, Publ. February 1929 by the author. Printed by Democrat Printing Company, Madison, Wis., Page 374

While the couple whose name introduces this sketch did not number among the settlers of the *town, they are indeed a part of its history, for several members of their family were to come into the town to live. Of them Mrs. John BROWN was the first. Mr. and Mrs. BROWN came in 1864, and located on a farm. Then in 1867 the families of Lucien and Otis PHILLIPS came, both settling on farms, and establishing a permanent posterity. Amy (Mrs. John P. STONE) and Otis PHILLIPS, representatives of the latter, are local townspeople, while the PHILLIPS sisters so well known in Reedsburg represent Lucien. Otis and Mary (JENKS) PHILLIPS were both descendants of Roger Williams.

*the transcriber: "It looks to me like they are from the area of Hillpoint - town of Washington."
