Phillipstown is a village in White County, Illinois, United States. The population was 28 at the 2000 census.
Phillipstown was surveyed for Caleb Clifford on February 19, 1839, and the plat was recorded on January 2, 1843. [3] It was originally named Victoria, but at that time the name was already in use by another post office in Illinois, so a new name had to be chosen. By order of the State Legislature, on January 29, 1840, it was renamed in honor of Major Alexander Phillips, [4] an early settler of the area who had made a land entry for an adjoining property in 1817 while the area was still part of Illinois Territory. [5]
The land upon which Phillipstown was platted had originally been entered by James Phillips, who quite likely was Alexander Phillips' father. James' interest in the land was sold to David Phillips and John McClure Graham (husband of Rebecca Phillips), who received a patent to the land on November 15, 1830 (David and Rebecca were likely siblings of Alexander). [6] They sold the property to Major Alexander Phillips on January 6, 1837. On February 17, 1837, he sold the property to Caleb Clifford. [7]
In addition to his service during the War of 1812, Major Alexander Phillips was also elected to serve in the House of Representatives for White County, Illinois in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 11th & 12th Illinois General Assemblies. [8]
