An Odd listing for Whipple V Phillips in 1870

Note that WVP has two "Valentines" living with him.
I am adding information of the census but not listed in text at the site.

The nearest post office is Summmit, RI. The town is Coventry.
A few pages over, the Tillinghasts are listed. Many of those aroun Phillips had children not in school, and were farmers of much less wealth by far.

Value of Real Estate was at 15,600, and 28,200 in personal wealth.

Whipple (36 y) is listed as a dealer in lumber and coal,an accurate statement
Robie (spelled Robie) (43 y) is listed as keeping home
Lillian D. (14 y) is listed as attending school
Sarah S. (12 y)is listed as attending school
