• Notes

  Godparents at the baptism of "Phillipus" were Philipp Thanisch of Erden & Catherina Simon of Bengel. Philip Simon was naturalized in Spencer County on September 12, 1856, with his brother Joseph. Philip and his wife Maria Anna moved from St. Meinrad, Indiana, where they lived in 1863, to Louisville, Kentucky by 1865, to St. Martin, Morgan County, Missouri by 1867, and to Clifton, Washington County, Kansas by 1871. They had six children. Philip died at age 66. He and Maria Anna are buried in St. Bernard's Catholic Cemetery in Clara, Washington County, Kansas. Carrie Simon, a granddaughter of Philip's (daughter of Philip's son, Henry Mathias) wrote "...that Philip's father Heinrich Simon wanted to get to the U.S.A. before the Czar would call his boys to the army. The irony was that the youngest, Philip, died as a result of his wounds received in battle during the Civil War". A service record for Philip has not been located to date.
