Phillips County Census
1872 Special Census for County Organization
Note: In order to recognized as an organized (official) county in the state of Kansas, the inhabitants had to prove that at least 600 people lived within its boundaries. A special census was taken in the winter/spring of 1872. The list below only has 184 names; however, they listed themselves as "householders" and evidently when their wives, children and other household members were included, the list tallied over 600 people. There was more than one list, and sometimes names overlapped; I tried to exclude duplicate names, but the handwriting was difficult to read, so the same person could be on this list twice.
