Notes:
                       From Wales to Utah 1860 (unsupported note by TGH and confirmed from
    actual reading of Pioneers and Prominent Men in Utah)

    "Pioneers and Prominent Men in Utah"  shows parent as Henry B.
    Gwilliams of Shrewsbury, Eng (page 905) and came to Utah 24 Oct 1856
    with the Milo Andrus company and that he married Jane Fisher Oct 1854
    in Birmingham Engl (she was born 1834 and died 1855 at Atchison, KS)
    Married Elizabeth Palmer 21 Mar 1856 in SLC (dau Richard Palmer and
    Mary Chambers, Sheffield, Engl.  -- their children Henry, Charles,
    BENJAMIN FRANKLIN b July 22,1861, m. Amelia Stanford  etc etc"

    There is NO mention of Eliza Singleton in "Pioneers" - as found on a
    couple of group sheets that I have seen.  This may have been a later
    plural marriage or is a mixup in genealogical files.

    "Pioneers and Prominent Men in Utah"  shows parent as Henry B.
    Gwilliams of Shrewsbury, Eng, and does NOT list the mother (?? odd)
    (page 905)

    Indicative, but not proven, then is that Phillips' first wife died and that
    he married a widow of some 'Gwilliams' - the widow having Henry
    Gwilliams b 1835 or 1837 and a William Humphreys b 1838 -- and then
    seven Phillips chil

Notes:
                       Short stature.  After marraige, lived in Ogden and Park City; got
    tuberculosis from working in the silver mines. Also had small pox there.
    Moved to a farm four miles outside of Rexburg in April 1904. (by rail).
    The family later moved to Nampa, Idaho, where he worked for the
    railroad and later the lumber yard. While in Nampa, he served in the
    bishopric in the Nampa First Ward and she was Primary president.  The
    family then moved to Pocatello and started the Model Bakery and owned
    their first car, a Maxwell (he would holler 'whoa - whoa') The bakery
    failed (partner problems) so the family moved to Weiser to farm on Dead
    Ox flat (80 acres); they lost the farm and moved into Weiser where he
    worked in the Electric Bakery. He then moved to Huntington, Oregon, and
    then to LaGrande where he helped the boys get a new bakery started and
    then to Baker to help that bakery get started.  He died suddenly - the
    story goes that, as he was walking past the mortuary, he gasped and sank
    to the sidewalk - typical of him - he didn't want to be a bother to anyone
    - a beautiful way to go but hard on his wife, Amelia.
