Yes, politicians and non-independent scholars LOOKED AT what was submitted for "proof" ...
And most of it was from Fred M. Wiseman himself, given to the groups, and those groups then handed it back to those who were doing the "looking at" such as Senators Vincent Illuzzi, Hinda Miller and so on from 2005 to 2012.
So, with that, down the rabbit hole we go, to discern Reality/Truth/ Facts vs. Belief/Perception / Lies and Distortions ...
WRONG !!
This is Antoine "Black" Phillips Jr.
NOT HIS FATHER
AGAIN
Reality and Truth vs. Beliefs and Perceptions
Winifred Yaratz Book Page 14
Winifred Yaratz was/is either perpetuating something she was told, and BELIEVES, or is herself doing this. Suffice it to say she and they, are WRONG in their faulty beliefs and perceptions throughout this book.
Old Antoine Philips Sr. (b. ca. 1814 - 1885) was NOT AN ABENAKI ... He was born of two BLACK parents (Peter Phelps and Nancy Mach).
He was NOT born on Lac Memphrémagog in ca. 1787 either. Again, these are all distortions, based on beliefs and perceptions, and faulty constructs. LOOK AT and REVIEW the 1850 Highgate, Franklin County, VT Federal Census for this family! The age given for Antoine Philips Sr. indicates clearly he was born about 1810-1814.
He himself was identified as B for Black and his children were identified as M for Mulatto.
He had a descendant who told H.E.A. of the Eugenics SURVEY of Vermont, that he had something to do with the Kickapoo Indians, based again, on beliefs and perceptions of his descendant. Very likely, when the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Company was moving around from town to town in Vermont, during the late 1800's, some of the Phillips were employed as "Indians" because of their darker 'tawny' complexion (due to the paternal African ancestry, and the straighter hair (due to Antoine's FRENCH wife).
Following the above page downward, Winifred (Jerome) Yaratz asserts that Antoine Philips Sr. was the son of Chief Piel (Peter) Philip who allegedly was born ca. 1730 in No. Conway, New Hampshire.
Suffice it to say (bluntly) that a lot of this Yaratz book is just plain utter garbage, as it relates to Antoine Philips Sr. parentage etc.
The genetic direct-male-Haplogroup for him is, in reality and fact, B-M181 ...
The genetic direct-male-Haplogroup for him is, in reality and fact, B-M181 ...
"Y-DNA haplogroup B, like Y-DNA haplogroup A, is seen only in Africa BEFORE SLAVERY and is scattered widely, but thinly across the continent. B is thought to have arisen approximately 50,000 years ago. These haplogroups have higher frequencies among hunter-gather groups in Ethiopia and Sudan, and are also seen among click language-speaking populations. The patchy, widespread distribution of these haplogroups may mean that they are remnants of ancient lineages that once had a much wider range but have been largely displaced by more recent population events."
And of course the direct-male Haplogroup B-M181 originally comes out of Africa, solely, until AFTER slavery had brought Antoine Philip's ancestors here to this continent. This is the Reality and Truth of his direct-male-ancestors. And very likely his mother's ancestors as well.
We don't know if Peter Phelps was born on this continent, (Connecticut or brought there from the West Indies, whether his parent(s) were in CT, or from the Southern States first; that narrative has seemingly been lost to time)
My point is this: Winifred (Jerome) Yaratz IMPLIED and SUGGESTED that her ancestor Antoine Philips was the son of an Native Indigenous male human being (Chief Piel Peter Philip) who is within this northern New Hampshire ca. 1796 Land Deed.
GENETICALLY-SPEAKING, this Yaratz narrative is impossible. The DNA does not prove the Phillips narrative in this book to be reality.
Some of Antoine Philips (ca. 1814-1885) descendants have within their Ancestry.com Ancestral Tree's TRIED to IMPLY that they are descendants of this ca. 1796 Chief Philip of northern N.H.
And there are plenty of Ancesty VT Phillips Descendants who IMPLY they are descendants of Louie Metallic and Philip the Chief ca. 1796.
One really does have to ponder WHERE these "genealogists" get their information BEFORE they begin putting it online in Ancestry.com (and people carry the distortions into their own Tree's). Again, based on faulty Beliefs and Perceptions, folks DISTORT and DECEIVE, manipulating the TRUTH and REALITY of not only Chief Philip but also of Louie Metallic and their descendants.
Winifred Yaratz Book 15
Old Antoine Philip's spouse Catherine Émery dit Codèrre born on January 06, 1806 in Notre Dame du Rosaire Parish, Ste. Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada. Her maiden name was not 'Cadaive' or 'Cadieux'. Those spellings are distortions.
Catherine's parents: Pierre Émery dit Codèrre and Marie Louise Brisard dit Ste. Germain.
Catherine was 7 Generations Removed from a Huron/ Western Algonquin Refugee couple (in red font) Catherine and her mother Marie Louise Brisard dit Ste. Germain, Marie Louise Chabot grandmother and great grandmother Marie Félicité Petitclerc all identified and were identified as FRENCH.
Winifred (Jerome) Yaratz's grandmother Rosalie Josephine (nee: Phillips) Blais / Blake could NOT have known Catherine's great-grandmother (Marie Félicité Petitclerc) was allegedly called or known as "Autumn-Wind."
No one in the Antoine Philips Sr. descendants KNEW about Catherine's parents or ancestors. This whole "Autumn-Wind" is based on Beliefs and Perceptions. Winifred Yaratz even admits Page 15, that she has been unable to find ANYTHING on her mother, Marsha Marceline (nee: Blake) Jéróme's great-great grandmother, Marie Louise (nee: Brisard dit Ste. Germain) Émery dit Codèrre.
No one knew of Catherine or Antoine's parentage UNTIL the baptismal record of her son Antoine Jr.'s baptismal record, was comparatively evaluated with his siblings.
As a matter of fact, the Phillips Family didn't even KNOW the parents of Michael Phillips Sr. whose descendant is Richard "Blackhorse" Wilfred Phillips was/is a member of the St. Francis/Sokoki "Homer's group" "tribe" ... UNTIL after the Eugenics SURVEY Records were discovered by Kevin Dann after 1986 !! Did they even know that Michael Phillips Sr. was baptized as Mathias Philippe in his mother Catherine's Catholic home parish in 1835? I think not. So what was/is Winifred (Jerome) Yaratz really proving objectively? The answer is NOTHING. The book she compiled was based on Belief and Perceptions. NOT facts nor the reality of those Black and French ancestors whatsoever.

Phelps Phillips Time Line
Cross-referencing the Godparents of each of Catherine's children, CONFIRMS the correct ancestral lineage of Catherine. DNA genetic test results in both FTDNA and AncestryDNA also PROVES the accuracy of the genealogical mapping of Catherine's ancestral genealogy.
Winifred Yaratz Book Page 23
Claiming without ANY substantiation whatsoever that Antoine Philips (b. ca. 1814-d. 1885) was a descendant or relation to the ca. 1796 Chief Philip Land Deed here in Coos County, is just more MYTH-MAKING nonsense based on unsubstantiated Beliefs and Perceptions.
NOT FACTS nor Reality!

Winifred A. (Jerome) Yaratz:
"They [Phillips] wasn't Negro or had in their blood ... they [Eugenics SURVEY] did this to discredit them [Phillips]."
Please by all means, explain away the direct male Phillips Confirmed Haplogroup B-M181 then.
How could H. E. Abbott of the Eugenics SURVEY's genealogical research trace the Phillips family origins to Quebec, Canada?
H.E.A. herself had not validated the information given to her with anything that substantiated that "oral history" or Census Record information, let alone she had not validated who Antoine or Catherine's parents were? So how is anything in the Eugenics SURVEY regarding the origins of Antoine and Catherine (Coderre) Phillips actually factual? It's not. Everything that was SAID or IMPLIED in the Phillips V.E.S. File is subjective, until it is validated with source documents. Otherwise, its just a bunch of beliefs and perceptions/ myth-making.
"Seemed a lot like", and being actually Native People are two different dynamics. "Seem a lot like Native American nomadic families ..." is subjective, based on belief and perceptions.

Winifred Yaratz Book Page 02 (Genealogy)
SOME of the Phillips Family Descendants attempt to elude and imply that Antoine Philips Sr. (ca. 1814-1885) was the son of Chief Pierre Philipp of northern New Hampshire ca. 1796, based on their subjective beliefs and perceptions.
It would appear that the Phillips family attempted and still attempts to race-shift, rather than acknowledging that the paternal ancestors are in fact derived from Africa, into Connecticut and up into Sheldon, Franklin County, Vermont ca. 1791 ... they would have everyone believe along with them that they are "Indians" / "Abenakis" when in reality and truth, they are not Indians, let alone Abenakis at all.
I guess its easier to be claiming to be Indian, than it is to be descended from African ancestry.
As for the two Phillips brothers Mathias (Michael) Phillips Sr. and Pierre (Peter) "Black Jack" Phillips, the actual years of birth for Antoine Sr. and his wife Catherine, as well as their two sons, are incorrect as well. From the incorrect given data on death records that exaggerated the ages, confusion as to when these person were born is apparent. Again, REVIEW the Phelps - Philips Time Line.
Nulhegan Group's Application for VT State Recognition
Page 24
So what Donald Warren Stevens Jr. did was hop, skip, and jump from being a card-holding member of Homer St. Francis Sr.'s St. Francis - Sokoki group in Swanton, Vermont ... to becoming a "chief" over in the Nulhegan - Cowasuck group. Then began soliciting his Phillips Family descendants to join that group via email petitions by him, to infer "attachment" to this Land Deed of ca. 1796.
As they stated and IMPLIED in their petition for VT State Recognition:
"The MODERN Nulhegan community considers the "Upper Coos Deed" it's founding document"
Because Winifred A. (nee: Jerome) Yaratz, in her book that I gave to Don Stevens on a CD of PDF's etc, that he (Don) in turn, gave to Frederick Matthew Wiseman, who in turn used this book of compiled unsubstantiated nonsense and inferred genealogical beliefs and perceptions about their Phillips Ancestry, to "PROVE" to the State of Vermont naive non-independent political legislators and scholars who LOOKED AT what was handed to them, and nary a one of them sought to substantiate the claims (which in fact IS an act of Abenaki Identity Theft and outright FRAUD).
Now, as you all can see and review (as many times as you need to) in this blog, the Phillips Y-DNA is B-M181 and you can COMPARE the Y-DNA Results of Phillips two direct male descendants with the direct male descendants of Louie Metallic as well in the URL links to varied documents.
IF Chief Philip of northern New Hampshire ca. 1796 Land Deed was the father of Louie Metallic, then Louie would have the Y-DNA Haplogroup and STR numbers the same as his father, the Chief.
IF Antoine Phillips (ca. 1814-1885) was (as has been conjectured as fact in multiple Ancestry.com Tree's by his descendants) the brother of Louie Metallic, then it would be the genetic reality that both Louie Metallic and Antoine Phillips Sr. would have the SAME Y-DNA Haplogroup and 99% percent of the same STR numbers.
But they don't. Because Antoine Phillips (ca. 1814-1885) was not related in any way, shape, or form with neither Chief Philip of that ca. 1796 N.H. Land Deed nor with Louie Metallic either.
I've also see it implied that Antoine Phillips Sr. was somehow "blended" to be Louie Metallic's son Antoine Metallic. Yet again, this is subjective and based on faulty belief and perception based on fairy tales.
I will SHOW the where, why, and how genealogically ... in the next posting ... about the reality of the Metallic Family, and so on. EXPOSING the LIES and DISTORTIONS of the Nulhegan Band and it's "chief" Luke Willard and Donald Stevens Jr. (including Frederick M. Wiseman) that they propped up to the naive and or sleazy Vermont Politicians as "proof" of their so-called "Abenaki"-ness.
