July 29, 2006

From page coded as 4C 34.1 more is revealed on “Indian” Phillips, trusted friend of Daniel Boone and acquaintence of Anthony Palmer the Hatter.

“Indian Phillips (ilegible word, perhaps ‘purchased’) well, he was a tall spare made man; think he was a French man who had an Osage Squaw for a wife and lived in Charette village, that was a French and Indian village of some 10 or 12 families, don’t recolect any of their given names, there was Busby - Sharterow [Chartran], Lozie and they had Spanish grants acording to their families; they all sold out to Flanders Callaway or the Lammes, the son-in-law of Callaway, and Flanders Callaway was the father of Sgt. James Callaway. The village was at the mouth of Charette Creek in the Mo. Bottom. Phillips and all the rest went up the Mo. River - that was the last I known of them. Phillips once made an arrangement with my sister-in-law to go hunting by moonlight….???…sister told him “no” ” as the story was related to Draper.
