INTRODUCTION .

A popular historian has said that the study of history sets

before us striking examples of Virtue , enterprise , courage ,

generosity ,patriotism ; and , by a natural principle of emula

tion , incites us to copy such noble examples .

” We , of the

present generation , know but little of the trials , fatigues ,hardships , fears and anxieties , which our fathers and mothers

of early New England day s experienced and will ingly endured ,

that“

they might establish a government and found a nation ,

where the privileges of civil and re ligious liberty , and the

benefits of general education , should be the blessed inheritance

of their posterity for all time .

Having been accustomed to the even temperature and mild

winters of the British Isles , the abrupt change of location , wi th

unavoidable exposure to the harsher Climate and rigorous win

ters of New England , caused many of the delicate ones amongthe first settlers to waste rapidly away with consumption or

other unlocked-for diseases , While even the most vigorous of the

first one or two generations after immigration , being subjectedto the unceasing toil and the perils incident to early settle

ments , rarely attained the age of three-score and ten . But they

looked bey ond the present with the affairs that concerned them

selves on ly and comprehended the possibilities of the f ar

distant future , and with laudable self-sacrifice and persi stentefforts amidst harassing discouragements , made such provISIOn

for the well-being of their descendants as their opportunitiesafforded . It was evidently a chief desire and great aim with

them so to establish in the lives of those comm itted to their

care , principles of piety , moral ity and Virtue , and habits of‘ industry , mental culture and economy , that they in their turn ,

”

and each succeeding generation , should , in the words of the

iv INTRODUCTION.

Psalmist , make them known to their children ; that the

generation to come might know them , even the children which

should be born , who should arise and declare them' to their

chi ldren .

”

When it seemed certain that they were securing the germs

of the blessings they had so fondly sought , they were sorelyembarrassed by having their precious liberties curtailed , and

were suddenly deprived of the privilege of having rulers oftheir own election , and obliged to submit to the arbitrary dictation of governors appointed from bey ond the sea . Their bestmen were often demanded as soldiers , and required to takelong and perilous marches through the unknown wilds of theforest , and were exposed to the dangers of camp and battle

field in distant parts of the land , in order to carry on wars for

the crown of England ; and then , as if this were not enough ,

they were burdened with taxes to defray the expenses of those

wars . They were often in terror of midnight attacks , when

their homes were liable to be reduced to ashes , and they or

their families slaughtered by a foe more wily and treacherousin his nature , more cruel and unrelenting in his hate , than any

previously known in history . They were obliged to work

early and late with but little diversion , in order to wrest from

a stern and uny ielding soil , the products necessary for the

comfortable maintenance of their several households ; the num

bers of whose members as compared with the size of some of

the families -

of modern civilization , could our hardy ancestors

be permitted to see the startling change , might well cause them

to blush for their posterity and feel alarm for the future

existence of their race . They would have Spurned the prae

tices followed by modern voluptuaries in the pursuit of ease

and pleasure . Constant bearing of life’

s heavy burdens , expe

rience of try ing hardships and the practice of sturdy virtues ,enabled them to build the foundations of a race whose charac

teristics of energy , perseverance and general progress , have

excited the admiration of the world . Although occasional personal misdemeanors and a few publ ic acts , which might be

c ited , Show that we must not extravagantly claim for all of

INTRODUCTION .

them unexceptionable purity and integrity , or that as a bodythey alway s acted wisely and justly ; y et , considering the state

of society in England prior to their emigration , and the injus

tice and abuse to which they and their ancestors had in some

cases been subjected , we can but be surprised that high moral

principles were so generally exemplified in their l ives , and thattheir public decrees toward those whom they regarded as

propagators of error were so seldomcharacterized by vindio

tiveness . A s well do the deeds of piety , patriotism and benevo

lence which they actually performed , as the rigid self-denials

which they practised and the c rushing hardships which theypatiently endured , entitle them to our admiration . In seasonsof danger to_ the body politic they voluntarily and promptlyoffered their time and services to relieve the community from

the threatened perils . And taking a later and less general

View , subsequent to the first century of settlement , after per

sistent industry united with manly energy and judicious man

agement had won the smile of Providence in the accumulationof ample fortunes , we s ee , in several instances , a large propor

tion of those fortunes y ielded up and benevolently and piouslycontributed for the promotion of . education , morality and

religion . It is a sacred,duty that we , especially as their

descendants , owe to such noble men and women as these , to

preserve carefully the memory of their lives , that their posterityto the remotest generation , being incited by the natural

principle of emulation ,

”may be led to copy such noble

examples .

”

PHILLIPS , a name spelled in a variety of forms , is ofancient and classical origin , being derived from the GreekPhi los-t p os , or horse lover . In Wales and Other parts of

Great Britain its use as a surname has continued for a longperiod , evidently for

‘five hundred y ears , and perhaps much

longer. It is said that “ Phil l ipse”is We lsh and that

Philips is from Worcestershire . It is stated by goodauthority that the Watertown family of this name were of thePhilips ” of Worcestershire . Some are positive that al l the

vi INTRODUCTION .

English families of this name had their origin from Wales and

subsequently spread over Great Britain . Several dif ferentway s have been employ ed in spelling , as Phillips , Philips ,Phill ipse , Philipps and others , some of them so peculiar as

hardly to be recognized as hav ing a common origin .

Families and individuals of this name began to emigrate

from the Old World at a very early date in the history of_this

country ,as early as 1 630 , and some a little earlier , and locate

at different points near the s ea-coast , but more especially In

New England . From that time to the present they have con

tinued to multiply and spread , by natural causes and by em i

gration , until now they are to be found in every State fromMaine to California ; and those in this country who spell their

name by the more common form of Phillips , are numbered bythousands .

It is now exceedingly d ifii cult to establish the relation which

existed between many of these earlier Phillipses or to trace out

satisfactorily the several lines of their descendants . Of thefamily of Rev . George Phillips O f Watertown ,

Mass . , there

have been at least ten generations . There may be some now

of the eleventh ,but if so , no notice of them has come to the

writer . None of the first five generation s are now living .

The last one , probably ,of the fifth generation died in 1 865 at

the great age of nearly 105 y ears . There are five divisions of

this family so marked by long continued residence in particular

local ities that they m ight well be designated as distinctive

branches . These are the ANDOVE R BRANCH , from Rev . SamuelPhillips who located in that town in 1 7 1 1 ; the BOSTON

BRANCH ,from Hon . John Phillips who went there to live

about 1 7 18 ; the BROOKHAVEN BRANCH , from Rev . Geo .

Phillips who located in Brookhaven ,Long Island , 1 69 7 ; the

MARRLEHEAD AND SALEM BRANCH ,from Jonathan Phill ips who

removed from Watertown to Marblehead about 1 7 1 9 ; the

OXFORD BRANCH ,from Joseph Phill ips who went there from

Watertown not far from 1 725 . It will perhaps be noticed

that the Christian name Samuel occurs in nearly e very genera

tion o f the Andover branch ; while in the Oxford branch there

INTRODUCTION . vii

is an almost entire absence of either of the names Samuel , Sarahor William . Some members of each of these branches m ighthave been found living in or near the several towns fromwhich the respective branches take their names , at any time

duri ng the last one hundred and fifty to two hundred y ears .

Some of the earliest progenitors of the Nel ngland fam iliesof this name of which the line of descent has not been fullytraced appear to have been the following

Nicholas Phillips (Deacon) of Weymouth , 1 640 , seems to

have had a large fam ily , and a large number of the name at the

present day / are doubtless his descendants . The recurrence of

such names as Joshua , Richard , , Benja1n in , Caleb and Experience , goes to Show that one branch of his fam ily removed to

'

the vicinity of‘ D ighton , Mass .

,at an early day . Some who

have given the subject attention are of the opinion that part of

thoseof the name in the early history of Rhode Island were hisdescendants .

John Phillips was of Duxbury and Marshfield , 1 638 to 1 677

or later and probably had a large number of descendants but

the statement on page 1 23 that his family appears ,to include

those given under Nos . 70 to 89 is found to be incorrect so far

as it relates to Capt .

‘John Phillips of Easton , page 135 , who

came probably from Weymouth prior to the y ear 1 700 , and

whose apparent age would place his birth not far from the y ear

1 670 , giving so much ground for believing that he may have

been the son , born June 2 1 , 1 669 , of Nicholas Phillips ofWeymouth , page 1 92 .

John Phillips (COL) of Charlestown , about 1 655 , had a large

family and numerous descendants .

William Phillips of Boston ,1 640 , had descendants living

about one hundred y ears later .

Henry Phillips of Boston ,1 640 , afterwards of Dedham ,

had descendants in the vicinity of Boston more than one hun

dred y ears later and appears to havehad a numerous progeny .

viii INTRODUCTION .

James Phillips of Taunton , son , probably , ofWilliam , 1 643 ,

of same place , had children born from 1 661 to 1 675 .

Andrew Phillips of, or near , Charlestown , married prior to1 659 , had descendants living more than Sixty y ears later . Arecurrence of several names would lead to the conclusion that

he was the ancestor of Ebenezer Phillips of Southboro , page 97 ,whose origin is involved in my stery , but nothing as y et found

goes to prove the connection .

At the time of commencing this work , in 1877 , it was the

purpose of the compiler to include only the descendants of

Joseph Phillips of Oxford , Mass . , a grandson of Rev . George

Phillips of Watertown ; and it was only a f ew weeks before

going to press that it was“decided to include all that is

embraced in these pages . But in the collection of material for

completing the original design , considerable amount of recordsand interesting items of history of other families or branches of

this name came into the possession of the compiler , and he was

led to take in historical matter of families of the name appa

rently not connected with the Watertown family . Had it been

known at the beginning how much was to be included , a

still more extended research would have been made in somedirections , and the arrangement m ight have been somewhat

diff erent .

That the genealogies given in this work are al l correct can

hardly be expected . Dif ferent individuals , in giving their

recitals of the same event , sometimes make statements‘

at

variance with each other ; sometimes they give different dates

for the same event , and frequently the town records diff er from

those kept in families . These differences have at times made

it a d ifficult matter for the compiler to decide which was to be

received and which rejected ; but in cases of doubt he has taken

particular pains to arrive at what appeared to be strict truth .

In some cases of a d isagreement in dates , both dates are given .

The transcriptions have a ll been carefully reviewed , and it is

believed that each name and date , except a few in which errors

INTRODUCTION . ix

were apparent , is given exactly as furnished to the compiler .

Some of the incidents related are from oral statements by

elderly but well-informed persons , some of whom long Since

passed away . Many have manifested a

~

deep interest in the

work , and kindly furnished whatever , in their possession , was

likely to aid in its preparation . On the other hand , largenumbers showed no interest at al l ; and of the many hundreds

to whom inquiriesWere sent out , soliciting records and otherhistorical information , not one half ever gave a response . Thiswill account in some measure for

“

the want of completeness inportions of the genealogies .

The writer takes pleasure in extending his Sincere thanks toall who have kindly contributed genealogical matter for thesepages . The number is SO great that want of space forbids themention of each by name . In the necessary correspondence a

sort of letter acquaintance has been created , which , to say the

least , will leave pleasant memories , and in some cases it is

trusted has ripened into permanent friendship . Some have

rendered Special assistance in various way s and it would hardlybe proper to close without giving them more than a general

Early and liberal subscriptions from Daniel Phillips of

Hartford , Conn . , and Walter P . Phillips of New York Citywithout which this book could not have appeared in its presentattractive form , entitle them to grateful acknowledgments .

For some of the principal sketches acknowledgments are due

, and Miss E . M . Phillips , late of Medway , Mass . ; also

to the authors and publishers of numerous publications from

which miscellaneous extracts have been frequently taken .

Perhaps the greatest amount of material drawn from any

B

a

INTRODUCTION.

one work is from Dr. Henry Bond’s Genealogies and His

tory ofWatertown , a work of great value , 111 which a large

number of New England families may trace their pedigree .

The descendants of Rev . Samuel Phillips of Rowley , 1 651 ,

are given in the following pages mainly as found in that

work . It will be seen that the New England Historical and

Genealogical Register , a work which no writer of genealogies

Should be without , has contributed a great number of items ,

some of them quite essential in making out the proper connec

tions . Obligations are gladly acknowledged to the f ew who

have generously agreed to insert portraits of themselves or

friends at their own expense . Grateful acknowledgments are

due to Mr . E . M . Barton , the cordial and communicative librarian of the American Antiquarian Society , for his h elpful sug

gestions and of t-repeated permission to examine the books of

the library . The printing has been executed at the press of

Charles Hamilton , and the neat and symmetrical arrangement of

the ty pographical work is due to the watchful oversight of Mr.

Benjamin J . Dodge , a printer of long experience , the present

results of which well meet our anticipations . The lithoty peportraits are from the works of the Lithoty pe Printing Co . ,

Gardner , Mass . , and many thanks are due to their faithful anda ffable agent , Mr . Frank Lawrence of Worcester , for his

repeated and patient efforts under all circumstances , sometimes

perplexing , to secure unexceptionally satisfactory work . For

the steel engraving of Hon . Samuel Phillips thanks are due toMr. Geo . P . Smith of Boston , agent of the Congregational

Publishing Society , for permission to use the plate in their

possession . The autographs are printed from the neatly and

faithfully executed work of Messrs . Ky es Woodbury of

Worcester.

The following arrangement is by families and sub-families

rather than by generations , though the number of the genera

tion is Shown by the Roman letters at the left . Each Specialfam ily is numbered at the head , and for convenience in refer

ence , these numbers are continuous through the book . The

INTRODUCTION . xi

name of each family head is printed in bold ty pe , and when the

children of any married daughters are included , their surnames

are given in Italics . The fragmentary records at the close of

the book are given in the hOpe that they may assist some in

retracing their family line , and enable them to make the proper

connection with other branches . The abbreviations most used

are , b . for born , bap . baptized , d . died , In . married , dau .

daughter, ch . child or children , res . residence .

The number of names in the f ollowing genealogies is upwards

of three thousand .

Whatever the defects of this work , and the compiler is aware

of many , he trusts that he has preserved a f ew interesting , and

perhaps not altogether unimportant , historical items , as well as

some links in the chain of genealogical succession which might

otherwise have been lost . There ’

is still a wide field for genealogical research among the families of this name . To aid and

encourage any who may be willing to correct errors or supplyomissions which come to their notice , and to the end that

correct and more complete genealogies of the'

several families

of this name may be produced at some future time , a copy of

this work with a large number of blank pages interleaved will

be deposited in the rooms of the New England Historic Genea

logical Society , Boston , Mass . , and letters of correction for

warded to that address will receive proper attention . It is

hoped that al l who can will avail themselves of this opportunityto assist in producing , as nearly as it can be done , perfectlycorrect and complete genealogies .

The compiler cannot expect to regain pecuniary remunera

tion for his labors , his experience being somewhat Similar to

that of other genealogists who have asserted at the close , thathad they known the amount of labor involved they never wouldhave attempted the task ; but if what is here given shall onlycause those of the name into whose hands it may come to pre

serve carefully al l items of family history and lead SOme one in

each of the main branches of the name , parts of which are to

INTRODUCTION.

be found in this book , to work out a complete genealogy of

his own branch , one great object of its production will havebeen accomplished ; and the labor will not have been lost if anyare led to emulate the benevolence , the devotion to duty , the

patriotism or the piety of the worthy examples found recorded

on the following pages .

June 1 2th . Here his wife soon died and was buried by the side

of Lady Arbel la Johnson , both , ev idently , being unable to

over the church in that place which was called together in July .

A t the Court of Assistants , Aug . 23 , 1 630 , it was“ ordered

that Mr . Phillips shall have allowed him 3 hogsheads of meale , 1

which is the earliest date of any such admission .

His inventory amounted to £550 2s . 9d ., a sum , allow ing

Coll . , 1 734 ;was engaged for some time in teaching a grammar school , buthe had a natural taste and rare fitness for mercantile and other

business pursuits , into which he soon entered with zeal and a

determination to succeed . His natural sagacity and deep fore

sight , strengthened by a long and varied experience in d iff erentdepartments of ! business life , gave him confidence and insured

the success which enabled him in after life to perform the acts

that have caused his name to be associated with works of useful

ness and beneficence . He was extensively engaged in the

manufacture of gunpowder at the time of the Revolution , and

for this he erected an expensive mill , which in 1 7 78 was de

stroy ed by an explosion in which there was a loss of life of threepersons .

“ In 1 788 , he built a paper-mill , which was carried

on by Phillips and Houghton . He was often the representative

of Andover , and member of the Executive Council before theRevolution , and in the Revolution was a staunch whig ; was

many y ears a civil magistrate , discharging the duties thereof

with the most exemplary fidelity . Such were the sternness and

precision of his manners , alway s frown ing on vice and disorder ,

1 6 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No . 5 .

that they d id not contribute to his popularity . Early habits ofexactness and economy enabled him to accumulate a large

estate , much of which he appropriated to the public

The crowning act of his life , that which more than anythingelse causes his memory to be held in grateful and perpetual

remembrance , that which makes hundreds of professional , andothe r learned men his beneficiaries , was the part he performed

as founder of the Academy at Andover. In this , however , heacted in connection with his brother, Hon . John Phillips ofExeter, N . H . , afterwards sole founder of Phillips ExeterAcademy , to whom is perhaps due an equal share of the honor ,and at the suggestion of his son Samuel , known as Judge Phillips ,to whom is to be accredited the further honor, that he conceived

the original design , worked out the plan ,and drew up the con

stitution . The School was established April 1 , 1 7 78 , the twobrothers having given for the purpose one hundred and forty -oneacres of land in Andover , two hundred acres in Jaff rey , N . H . ,

and five thousand dollars in money . The lands they directed

to be let out on proper terms , the money to be put on interest

on good security , and the profits to be forever appropriated and

expended for the support of a public free school or academy ,

in the South Parish of The school was opened

with twenty scholars , on the 28th of April , 1 778 , in a j oiner’s

shOp ,purchased from the funds subscribed ; and thus , Phillips

Academy ,known at first as Phillips School , had a practical

beginning . In speaking of the relations of these three men to

the two academ ies , a writer before quoted say s 1“ The three men— and the older ones especially were men of

sound judgment , who moved cautiously , and were not led away

by any bl ind enthusiasm — together planned the enterprise ,determ ined the locality , and took the necessary steps to bringthe school into active existence . The comb ined gifts of these andother members o f the Phillips family for the endowment of the

academy amounted , in round numbers , to one hundred thousand

(V H on . John Ph il lips ( son of Samuel and HannahNo . was born Dec . 2 7 , 1 7 1 9 ; grad . Harv . Coll . , 1 735 . He

taught in public schools in Andover , Exeter and other places ,after which he had a private Latin School in Exeter . He fittedhimself for the m inistry ,

and received a call from the church in

Exeter , but for some reason relinquished al l plans for preachingand ente red extensively into mercantile life . He was a justiceof the peace , a trustee o f Dartmouth College for twenty y ears ,from which he rece ived the degree o f LL .D . in 1 777 ,

“and

founded and endowed in that College , the Phill ips Professorshipo f He

“ was authorized to be , in some singular

cases , one o f the Judges of the Superior Court .

”In his business

he was em inently successful , and accumulated a large fortune ,a ll o f which he d evoted to be ne volent obj ects . He gave liberallyw ith his brothe r for the found ing o f Phill ips Ac ademy , Andover,in 1 7 78 . and in 1 789 , gave it the further sum o f twenty thousand

genius and serious disposition . He bequeathed , bv his last

will , one-third of al l the estate of which he died possessed ,“ for

the benefit more especially of charity scholars , such as may be

of excelling gen ius and good mora l character , preferring the

hopefully pious , and for the assistance of y ouths liberal ly ,edu

cated ,designed for the ministry , while study ing D ivinity under

the direction of some eminent Calvin istic Min ister of the Gospel ,until a professor of Divin ity , able , pious , and Orthodox , should

be supported in this Academy , or at Exeter , in New Hampshire ,

0 1° in both .

”It was this purpose of the founders , of securing ,

permanently , in struction in Theology , which led , about thirty

y ears later to the founding of the Andover Theological Seminary .

He was the founder of the Academy in Exeter . In 1 781 , he

“secured the incorporation of Phillips Exeter Academy from

the New Hampshire Legislature , giving to the school in life and

by bequest property amounting at the time to about sixty -five

thousand dollars , but npw , under admirable management , greatlyenhanced in value .

”In Speaking of his acts in connection with

this institution , a writer before quoted say s“ Phillips Exeter

Academy has its own history and characteristics quite independ

ent of Andover . It is almost wholly the child of Dr . JohnPhillips . Dr. Phillips was one of the trustees at Andoverfrom its first organ ization till his death , and for the last five y ears

of his life president of the board . His endowment of Exeter thuswas an act in generous emulation of his own beneficence . The

wise provision which he made for the support of the school , andthe care exercised by those in charge of the endowment , have

given to the Academy a wholesome independence , so that it

occupies to-day a position of self-reliance and integrity , havingfunds sufficient for its support irrespective of its receipts fromtuition fees . During the century which has nearly closed since

its incorporation it has had , unti l recently , but three principalsin succession . Dr . Benjamin Abbot , the former of these ,

graduated at Harvard in 1 788 , and immediate ly went to Exeteras principal . The choice of this man hints at one distinction

between Andover and Exeter . Dr. John Phillips , like his

brother and nephew , was a firm adherent to the old school of

20 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No . 7 .

New England orthodoxy . He was also a man of deep hum ilityand large-m indedness . He saw in Benjamin Abbot , an Exetery outh , the qualities which constituted a wise teacher , and he

chose him to the place , although their theo logical preferences

were at variance ,— Abbot belonging to the new schoo l which in

process of time became organized Unitarianism . To measureDr. Phillips

’

s liberality , one must needs place himself amonghis contemporaries , and not among

° his descendants . Not onlyd id Mr . Phillips make this appointment , but two of the trustees

originally chosen by himself, and three others chosen during hislifetime , held theological opinions opposite to his own .

The connection with Harvard Un iversity has alway s been a close

one , and no other school in the country , save the Boston Latin

Schoo l , has sent so large a number of students to Cambridge ,

while the standard of scholarship has been of the highest . The

largest proportion of boy s at Exeter has Harvard in view , and

the reputation for scholarship which Exeter enjoy s at Harvardhas been unbroken for nearly a century .

He was the only heir to a large estate ; but with a spirit of

hero ic self-sacrifice ,he preva iled on his father to d ivert the

property , which would legally fall to him ,to the found ing of the

Academy at Andover. And it is to this self-sacrificing spirit ,his benevolent heart , his desire to promote the education and

good morals o f the y outh in his community , and check the

growth o f v ice which he saw spread ing with the advance of

No . 7 OF REV . GEORGE PH ILLIPS . 2 1

civilization , by the establishment , in his native town , of a per

manent school worthy of the Commonwealth in which he lived ,that the institution owes its existence . A long distance in

advance of the people of his day , his deep and far-seeing mind

conceived the original design , and he cautiously , deliberately and

wisely drafted the constitution , now in service for both this and

the Exeter Academy . This instrument , with its multitudinous

emendations,erasures , and additions , bears witness to the minute

care with which the founders sought to formulate the principles

of the schools . N0 one can read this paper without per

ceiving its weight and perspicuity . It was formerly , and perhaps

now is , read y early at the meetings of the board of trustees , anddrew from one member , who had sat on the board for forty

y ears , the remark that its language seemed to him more likeinspiration than any thing else except the Bible The

constitution ,while defin ing the courses o f study and d iscipline , the

duties of trustees and masters— not om itting to caution the trus

tees against extravagant entertainment at their y early dinner

lay s great emphasis on the conduct of the students , and the

means to be taken for education in morality and religion , declar

ing that‘above al l , it is expected that the master

’

s attention to

the disposition of the minds and morals of the y outh under his

charge will exceed every other care ; well considering that

though goodness without knowledge (as it respects others) is

weak and feeble , y et knowledge without goodness is dangerous ,and that both united form the noblest character, and lay the

surest foundation of usefulness to mankind .

’ i t

Samuel Phillips was an extraordinary man but it is difficultto give , at this day , a just expression of his character. The

religious and moral element in it were mixed so intimately , and

y et so unaf fectedly , with the business of the world and the habitsof active life , that he seemed to be a perfect embodiment of theChristian statesman , scholar, and philanthropist I have

never met , through my whole life , with an individual in whom

the spirit of christian ity and of good-will to mankind were so

naturally blended with an indomitable energy and enterprise in

active life . He was a leader in the church , a leader in the State ;the y oung loved and l istened to him , the old consulted and

deferred to his advice In h is capacity for business ,there was , as it were , an universality or ubiquity . In the town ,

in the Senate , in the courts of justice , in committees of the legislature , as a referee in cases of great importance , in all other

associations or affairs of business , his influence was , as f ar as

was possible in respect of any one man , paramount . For twenty

y ears he was a member, and for fifteen y ears president , of theSenate of the State ,

at a period when Statesmen were not made

out of every sort of wood . He was judge of the Essex C ourt ofCommon Pleas , a member of every important committee , on

like occasions a referee , and , at the same time , owned and took

a general superintendence of two stores , one at Andover , anotherat Methuen , of a saw-mill , a grist

-mill , a paper-m ill , and a

powder-mill on the Shawshine , giving to each a sufficient and

appropriate share of his oversight ; with a spirit subdued by the

predominancy of the religious sentiment , he was as earnest ,

active and indefatigable in this multitude of his engagements , as

though this world was every thing .

” it

He was religious in study , in trade , in neighborly kindness ,in domestic life , in politics , in every ClV] l o ffice , and in his zealto promote learning , as well as in public worship or publ iccharities . It was emphatically a religious institution which he

was intent upon establishing a religious vitality which he soughtto breathe into al l education within its atmosphere . Thus116 was in tensely method ica l and caref ul . A ny one of his hundreds of manuscripts now extant , taken up at random , would bean illustration of this trait . He erased , he interlined , he changed

the collocation of words or paragraphs , he put in after-thoughtsand s ide-thoughts , in a common fam ily letter, with as much

pa instaking as in the draft of a State paper. In writing the mostfam il iar communications to his son or his wife , he would copy ,

or give an apology for not copy ing , as if he would not consentto do any thing which he was not anxious to do well ; and the

might have made him the f oremost jurist and greatest lawyerof his time , but he gave up al l hope of popularity or personalemolument f rom the practice of law, and made it his exc lusivel if e work to plead , on the pub lic rostrum and at every f avorab le Opportunity , the cause of the Oppressed , of every nation ,

creed and color. Sympathy with the classes whose cause he

advocated led him to give f reely of his means to the poor and

distressed . It is said that no really needy and deserving manor woman ever appealed to h im in vain ; y et , his gif ts werebestowed so silently that no records remain on earth save inthe hearts who love him .

”The f ollowing extracts give a very

brief but clear portrayal of his l if e and character.

“ Especia l ly may the colored men rejoice that it p leasedGod to raise up in their beha l f this inspired advocate of their

Not to the needs of his own country a lone could WendellPhil l ips limit his sympathy . The whole world had no wrong

which d id not set his soul on fire , to hate it a lway s and abateit i f he could . The terrib le evils of intoxication led no

man to be a stronger advocate o f prohibition than WendellPhil lips . The rights and interests of the working classesf ound in him a devoted f riend His intense earnestness

carried conv iction home to his hearers , his tenderness touchedtheir hearts with irresistible sympathy , his pathos moved themto tears , his vehemence carried them on with contagious fire ,

”

“ No one had probab ly addressed so many audiences or

charmed so many ears and fired‘

so many breasts by his wonderf ul eloquence . His first appearance as an orator was at a

meeting in Faneuil Hal l in 1837 , cal led to protest against the

cruel murder of E lijah P . Lovejoy at A lton , Ill . , f or publ ishingan anti-slavery paper James T . Austin , attorney

genera l , made an apologetic speech , condemning Lovejoy and

almost justif y ing the mob f or his murder. Then WendellPhil l ips fired with a righteous indignation , mounted the p latf orm amidst objections and eff orts to suppress him , and pouredf orth a torrent of burning eloquence . This young lawy er,without experience and without a name in his prof ession , met

and vanquished , routed and annihi lated the Official chief of thebar of Massachusetts . His eloquence was not of the

OXFORD BRANCH OF THE WATERTOWN FAMILY .

N o. 2 0 .

(III .) Joseph Ph il l ips ( son of Theophilus and Mary

NO . born Dec . 4 , 1 702 . He married Ruth Tow n e ,and

settled in Oxford , Mass . , locating , as nearly as can be asoer

tained , in the present limits of Auburn ,

’Ieon Prospect Hill , an

elevation of beautiful and fertile table land , and one of thepleasantest rural spots in Worcester County . The bill com

mands an extensive and charming View of the surroundingregion , including in its range of Vision , a pleasan t successIon of

mountain , hill and valley ; also , the now flourishing city of

Worcester , and glimpses of several Villages . He owned several

other tracts of land in Oxford and Vicin ity , but this , doubtless ,is the place on which he settled . The late Col . Edward Phillipsof Sturbridge , a great

-

grandson , had a fixed impression that

his grandfather , Dea . Jonathan Phillips , the oldest son of

Joseph , was born on Prospect Hill . ‘

Col . Phillips also regarded

this place as the old family homestead . After his death , this

farm was owned and occupied by his son , Israel Phillips , andlater, by S imon , son of Israel . At the time of Israel ’s death

the farm contained , by estimation , eighty acres , but was prob

ably somewhat larger . A t the death of Simon the ownershipof the farm passed out of the Phillips name , hav ing been owned

in the family nearly n inety y ears . The house still standing is

said , by one who once lived there , to have been the same one

occupied by his gr .-Son ,

S imon ; and a little to the rear there

was remain ing , a f ew y ears since , the foundation and cellar of

another build ing , supposed to be the original home . The house

is about one m ile from the station of North Oxford Mills , on a

branch of the Boston and Albany R . R. , and , to any of the

hundreds of his descendants who feel a special interest in the old

homestead of one of the ir early ancestors , a v isit to the place on

When Ox f ord was d ivided and Auburn set off , the l ine passed d irectly throughthe f arm , but leaving the build ings on the Auburn side.

a pleasant summer day m ight wel l repay the ef fort . The farm is

the same one lately owned and occupied by Wm . D , Dalrymple .

His wife died July 4 , 1 760 . He married ( 2d ) Dec . 10 ,

1 760 , M rs . Bath sh eba Town e of Oxford . He died April23 ,

1 77 1 ,“ in the 69th y ear of his age .

It is impossible , at this day , to give any thing like a personal

description of him but , from the fact that he left the Vicinityof his father’s home when a young man ; and sought a home f or

himself, in what had been so recently an unbroken Wilderness ,where it required constant toil and hardship to secure the neces

saries of life , we must conclude that he was a man of Vigor,energy and perseverance ; qualities which have been inherited

in a large degree by a good number of his descendants . His

place of burial is not known . In the old Auburn Cemetery ,

near the’

church , several Of his descendants are k nown to havebeen buried , though not a monum ent has been erected in the

y ard by friend or relative , to mark the last resting-place of any

of them .

The descendants have , in y ears past , usually been somewhat

above the average Size , not tending mu ch to corpulence , but of

large frame rather than fleshy , and with features rather heavilymarked . Most of them have had a keen appreciation of wit

and humor , and heartily enjoy ed a Sharp joke . Not many of

them have been graduates of colleges or entered the professions .

and his brothers , Joseph and Israel , were in a detachment of

by himself and his descendants for one hundred and twenty

He commenced his service as railroad employ é at a periodwhen railroads were in their inf ancy , and has risen in regularorder up to his present important rank as president of one of

the oldest and most influential railroad corporations in the

State . Fol lowing his railroad history , it wil l be seen that in

point of date of service he ranks every other railroad superintendent and president in the country . His first service was as

clerk in the emp loy of the Boston and Worcester Railroad Corporation , in October, 1839 . In June , 1843 , he was advancedto the position of master of transportation , then , as now, an

important post , as the increase of f reight on ourMassachusetts

railroads demanded a separate department f rom that of gen

eral superintendent , and the Boston and Worcester Railroaddirection was the first to recognize this . A S master of trans

portation he remained until September, 1852 , when he was

elected , over all others , to the superintendency of the C levelandand Toledo Railroad , then one of the most advanced railroadsof the west ; and here it may be pertinent to remark thatin the early history of western railroads , the management

when a change took p lace in the Boston and Worcester Railroad ,and he was requested to return to take the superintendency of

that road . This ofifice he held til l October, 1865 , when the

west made another demand , and he was elected president of theSouthern Michigan and Northern Ind iana Rai lroad Corporation ,

the stock being largely held by New England parties . In

October, 1870 , the Wisconsin Centra l Railroad started up one

of the most important trunk lines of the northwest , and Mr.

Phil lips was solicited to take charge of its interests , both inconstruction and in its Operation— a trust which he executedwith eminent ability as wel l as satis f action to his board of

directors . In July , 1878 , he retired , a f ter arduous service , toobtain needed rest ; but he was destined to remain id le but aShort time . The Eastern Railroad comp l ication at this time

had reached a crisis ; a competent pres ident was demanded ,and in 1879 Mr. Phil l ips was the one selected . His recordand his services as president of that corporation began a new

era in the history of that road . His labors were bril l iant andunremitting , and gave him a reputation which could not be

“He was a man of sound judgment, even temper , strong

aff ections and friendships , universally beloved and respected ,alway s greatly interested in all matters of public interest .

Judge Spencer of Syracuse , N . Y .,recently t old my brother

that the first person he ever heard urge the necessity of freeschools and a thorough education of all classes , was our father.

He was an earnest'

anti-slavery man from the beginning , a man

of broad intelligence , who kept his interest in al l the great

question s of the day , up to the day of his death .

“ Our branch has the light brown hair which our father

inherited from his mother’s Side of the house ; though some of

us take the dark brown hair from the JOSly n Side . All of uShave many strong Phillips traits in common among them a keen

appreciation of wit and humor . All are inveterate j okers , as

was our father , and al l dearly love a good horse ,— true to the

Greek or igin of our name . None of us care much for glitter or

general society ; we are strong in our prejudices , likes and

dislikes . It is interesting to trace heredity extend ing ‘

even to

chirography . I have been surprised to find with‘

the majorityof us such strong resemblances in penmanship to others and

remote members Of the Phillips family .

My brother Charley was one of the very best specimens of

as I’

Democratic party have a majority in that county o f about1 600 , but he was elected by over 1500 majority . He was

ifid ef atigable in work ing f or the educationa l interests of the

He had kept the f arm upon which the f amily settled in 1849 ,

and had become a large stock raiser, mak ing a specialty of

Stephen C . Bem is was agent and manager , and served in the

employ ofMr . Bemis and his sons in various positions , more or

less every y ear , for upwards of forty -five y ears . For two

y ears he had charge of a hardware store forMr . Bemis in Troy ,

N . Y . , with a stock of goods ; but this enterpriseproved a failure , and fortune set him down at poverty

’

s gate .

SO reduced was he at this time , the spring of 1 843 , that , withwife , six children and al l his earthly possessions , he left the

city for his nati ve town on a one-horse wagon . This was a

heavy blow to bear ; the cloud that overshadowed him was

black indeed ,but he passed through the trial manfully . Pos

sessed with a remarkably hopeful spirit , good health and stronghands , he entered anew the great battle of life , fortune sm iled ,

and he not on ly kept the wolf from the door , but earned and still

enj oy s an easy competency . His employ er , the late Mr . Bemis

of Springfield , was once heard to remark to a friend ,

“ I have

great confidence in the honesty of Mr . Phillips , why ! I wouldtrust him with millions of uncounted gold . In religion , a

strong believer in the final restoration to peace and happiness

of the whole fam ily of man ; in politics , a staunch Jackson iandemocrat ; a Free Mason sixty y ears .

His son , Dea . Charles C . Phillips , to whom the compiler is

indebted for the greater part of this sketch , wrote in 1 878 ,

“ he

is nearly e ighty-one and has just returned from a commercial

trip embracing the New England States and the State of NewYork . He is probably the oldest traveling agent and the best

known of any in the country , hav ing been on the road some

thirty-five y ears .

” After the above was written he continued

to travel for two or three y ears , but has since retired from the

road , and has been res id ing w ith his daughter Caroline , at his

homestead in Greenfield , where 1 885 , he was still enj oy ing a

comfortable life . The above autograph was written when he

was e ighty-seven y ears of age . The portra it prepared for this

work is from a photograph taken at the age o f e ighty .

He married Dorothy Sage , born in Berl in ,

grew during his connection with it to the very extens1ve pro

of the city and the institutions with Which he has been con

nected . Being one of the first to engage in.

the expressbusiness , it is perhaps , not too much to say that the implicit

confidence which the general public have in the express com

panies of the day ,is owing , in no small degree , to the firm and

honorable business principles which it was his constant object

to initiate into the sy stem at its commencement . On many

occasions he has been elevated to positions of trust by the votesof the citizens of Hartford ; he represented the city in the Gen

eral Assembly at New Haven during the session of 1854 , and

was Alderman in 1859 . He has been director or trustee of each

of the following companies and associations , several of which

positions he continues to occupy : Hartford Savings Bank and

Building Association , City Fire Ins . Cc . , Charter Oak Life Ins .

Co . , Hartford Steam Boiler Ins . Co . , Orient Fire Ins . Co .,American National Bank , Mechanics Savings Bank (also vice

president of the latter), National Screw Co . , Weed SewingMachine Co . , VVil l imantic Linen Cc . , Theological Institute ofConn . , Hartford Female Seminary , Hartford Branch of the Am .

Tract Society , and Cedar Hill Cemetery . He was a member of

the building committee for the erection ,in 1869 , of the mag

n ificent business block on Main Street , of the Charter Oak LifeInsurance CO . He was one of the signers of the call for the

first Republican mass meeting ever held in Connecticut , and

which resulted in the formation of the Republican party of thatState . Ever since that time he has been a member of that party ,

an out-spoken advocate of its principles , and usually a firm

and ardent supporter of its candidates . Being a man of warm

heart and gen ial disposition , and of a peculiarly practical

benevolence , he has gained a great number of friends amonga ll classes who will cherish the memory of his many deeds

o f k indness . More than one is able to say that the business

and social stand ing to which he has happ ily attained , is owing

largely to the encouragement which he received in earlier day s

from Mr. Phill ips . But those who have the best claim to the

a ff ections o f their fellow-men are sometimes the ones who suffer

(VI .) Moses Dresser Phil l ips ( son of Daniel and Abigail : No . born May 1 5 , 1 813 Not being of a sufficientlyrobust constitution to endure the labors

,

of the farm , he left the

paternal homestead , Sept . 1 8 , 1832 , being nineteen y ears of

age , and went to Worcester, then a thriving Village of four

thousand inhabitants , where he engaged as a clerk in the book

store of Clarendon Harris . In 1835 he went into partnership

with William Lincoln , Esq. , and with him followed the business

of bookseller and publisher for some y ears . But desiring a

larger field for his labors , he removed his trade , about the

y ear 1845 , from Worcester to Boston , where , till the close of

his life ; he was principal partner in the firm of Phillips , Sampson Co . , whose extensive transactions in the book trade

gained for them a world-wide reputation , the amount of their

business , part of the time , being regarded as second only to one

other establishment of the kind in America . Thus he raised

himself by his own exertions , in a littl e more than twenty -five

y ears , from the humble position in which he first entered busi

ness , to the head of the first publishing house in Boston ; and

he became the founder of the A tlantic Monthly , a magazine

unexcelled in the branch of literature to which it is devoted .

The accumulating cares of busines , greatly increased by the

financial pressure of 1857 and 1858 , and by the death of Mr.

Sampson , his chief partner, produced too severe a strain upon

his constitution ,and he gradually sunk under the weight thus

brought to bear upon him . He was a man of genial way s , of

firm and honest principles and noble sentiments , which charac

teristics won for him a large number of friends . In the y ears

1 852 and 1853 , he was a member of the Worcester Board of

A ldermen . Perhaps his character and abil ities may best be

shown by the following resolutions and statements made 0 11

the occasion of his death , by men who were familiar with hisbusiness life . A t a meeting of the booksellers and publishersof Boston , held f or the purpose of taking some action in regard

to his death , the following resolutions were unan imouslyadopted

Whereas , we have learned with regret , of the death of our f riendand cO-laborer, Mr. Moses D . Phil lips theref ore

“Resolved , That we have a lway s recognized in him the character of

an honest , f aithf ul man ; that we cherish his memory with respect ,and that in his death we have lost an intel ligent and usef ul memberof the trade .

Resolved , That we close our p laces of business during the f uneralservices .

”

One said of him :“ He became f avorab ly known f or his intell i

gence , excel lent judgment , and executive abilit ies . In comparativelya short time the firm gained a high reputation at home and abroad .

The deceased was much respected by the whole commun ity , and was

highly esteemed by a large circle of f riends .

”

‘

Another remarked : “ He was a man,remarkable f or his modesty ,

industry , honesty and nob leness of heart ; was amiable , f a ithf ul andrel iab le . Those who knew him wel l , agree that he had a gen ial spirit ,a f und of ready anecdote , and great kindness of heart .

”

Another wrote A f ter almost dai ly business transactions with Mr.

Phil lips and his firm , f or about fi f teen y ears , it is but truth and justiceto say , that he a lway s thoroughly understood what . he wanted , gavehis orders concisely , managed every thing methodica l ly , was a lway sready to assist in removing difficulties and smoothing the path , andnever p laced obstacles in the way ; was a lway s courteous and agree

ab le , even when most pressed by his multitudinous engagements . A nd

during the whole period , no matter under howsoever try ing circum

stances (and no doubt they were of ten presented), he never lost his

good temper or spoke to us an unkind word . Amidst a multip l icityof ca l ls in attending to so large a business , he was a lway s attentiveand socia l to the ca l ler, and had a ready f und of anecdote , or story ,or humor, to make p leasant the dreary path of dai ly toil and care .

He was to be env ied while l iving , and his memory wil l be f ond lycherished , we doubt not , by hundreds , if not thousands , of personswho had no kinsman ’

s claim , but who enjoy ed the broad comprehen

sive and practical View he took of the subjects discussed with those

(I E ben ezer Ph il l ips , the ancestor of a great numberwho bear the family name , was a resident of Southboro ,

Mass .

Respecting his history , it is much easier to tell what is not

known concerning hi'

mk than to relate any of the events of his

life . Diligent research and repeated inquiries have failed toreveal either his parentage , his

‘ birthplace , or the length of

time he lived in Southboro . A copy from the town record

gives no earlier date concerning this family than 1 745 . His

wil l , in which he mentions his wife Mary ,was dated Nov . 20 ,

1 745 , and proved Aug . 2 1 , 1 746 , Showing his death to have

occurred between those two dates .

ale A written obligation ,

dated Feb . 25 , 1 742— 3 , and beginning as follows,Shows him to

have been a resident of Stoneham“ Know all men by these presents that I , Ebenezer Phil l ips of

Mr. Abner S. Phillips of Bondville , Vt in writing to the compiler, says : “Myf ather had the records of the first of the Phillipses who came to th is country , butthey were destroyed by a l ittle roguish girl about sixty years ago . The Phillipses lef ta large amount of property in England , choosing rather to leave their property thanto be deprived of the privilege of enjoying their religion .

” Mr. A . 8 . Phillips alsohas in h is possession other papers and rel ies, including a sword , once the property ofh is ancestors.

Respecting his age at the time of his death , it may be inferredthat he was past middle life , as two of his children were married

before his death ,and the others soon afterwards .

740 to 747 , had a son Andrew , who m . Sarah Smith , Nov . 1 1 , 1685, and had eh .,

Andrew ,Ebenezer, Joanna and Samuel . O f these , Ebenezer was b . 1695, and m.

Mary Smith . This, taken in connection w ith the f act that Ebenezer Ph illips of

Southboro, 1745. had a w if e , Mary , and ch . Samuel , Ebenezer and Joanna, and a gr.

son , Smith Phillips , and that at one time , 1743, he was of Stoneham , wh ich was setoff f rom Charlestown , points firmly towards the Charlestown , or Boston , f amiliesof this name f or the origin of Ebenezer Ph ill ips of Southboro. It would indicatethat Ebenezer of

,Southboro, was the same as Ebenezer, son of Andrew , and

guided by these statements only , we should reasonably arrive at th is conclusion ; butin this we are doomed to d isappointment, unless there is an error in the record , orthe printed copy , such as does not seem probable , f or it is stated f arther along thatSamuel was admin istrator to his bro. Ebenezer, ag e 28 , July 11 , 1723. Whereas ,Ebenezer of Southboro was l iving more than twenty years later.

1 One record s ays he d ied Feb . 3 . Another says he was born July 3 , 1732 , but isev idently wrong. The same says h is w if e was born June 1 1 , 1736 , and d ied Feb . 3 ,

1818 . Th is date o f her b irth is wrong , and perhaps should be 1726 instead of 1736.

A coincidence of names between some of the children of Ebenezer Phillips , Jr. ,

of Southboro, and those of Ebenezer Phill ips, b . Weston , 1722 (son of Samuel , andgt .

-grandson of Rev. Geo. of Watertown), has led some to conclude that the two

were identical , and it is so given in a lately published h istorical work ; but this isevidently erroneous. The dates are w idely at variance , and such a conclusion is contrary to the most authentic records and best preserved trad itions of th is f amily . It

is certain that his grandch ildren styled h im Ebenezer Ph ill ips, Jr. (son of Ebenezerof Southboro), and his son of the same name , Ebenezer Phill ips, 3d .

counsels , vast improvements have been introduced during thepast four y ears . Among these improvements may be mentionedthe “ Phillips sy stem of Steno-telegraphy ,

”which doubles the

capacity of wires without the aid of any expensive machinery .

This sy stem has been introduced on the Associated Press circuits w ith pronounced success , and is probably destined to come

into general use for the rapid transmission of business on publiclines , at an early day fi

ie

Between 1872 and 1875 he wrote some remarkably clever

sketches — studies of by -

gone telegraphic heroes— which , in

1876 , were published in book form , together with a series ofnon-telegraphic stories . His entrance to “ the sacred guild ofauthors” was greeted w ith many flattering notices from the

press , and was succeeded by large sales , several editions of the

book being rapidly called for .

In addition to his present duties , he is constantly writingverse

-

SJ; Sketches and editorial articles for literary , telegraphic

or other scientific papers , and he is at present engaged on a

novel illustrative of a New England boy’

s life . Indeed , he has

been a prolific writer for newspapers for the last ten y ears , underthe pen names of “ Gilbert Slowboy ,

” “Maurice McLeod ,”

and finally “ John Oakum ,

”which is now the Widest and most

favo ‘

ably known .

l l’

hile to bespeak for Mr . Phillips at present , a place besidethe very foremost of our leading writers of the present daywould be premature , it is no exaggeration to say that his lan

guage and his descriptions , whatever they bear upon , are as

pure and as clear as those of authors whose sty le is accepted

as a standard , even if they have not pretended to so wide a

range , and that there is much promise in him for his maturer

y ears . The world to him , notw ithstand ing his extreme earnest

school . He is alway s open to discuss freely the merits of“ the points ” in his ef forts , excellent as those points may be ;

promptly profits by successes and failures alike ; is alway s

thankful for suggestions and sensible criticism touching hi s

literary work , weighs them al l carefully , and a cts readily uponthem when good ones are made . This is a quality which ,

of

itself alone , must tend greatly toward final success . Anotherof his qualities is untiring industry . While busily engaged , in

one capacity ,in supervising the collection and distribution of

reliable and unbiased , but necessarily uninspiring commonplacen ews and statistics , we find him on the other hand , in a diff erent

capacity , commenting on the same and drawing the appropriatelesson therefrom for the public , just as naturally and easily as

though the latter occupation were the only duty which circum

stances had imposed upon him . His published sketches Show

that they are the deductions of one possessing a habit of closeobservation , a keen sense of humor , and one who is at the same

time a shrewd but mirth-loving man of the world . He“ turns

out”a pathetic incident , or invests solid sober counsel with al l

the charm of half-earnest but penetrating pleasantry with equal

adroitness ; and his writings , pathetic or“ light ,

”are ever

replete with shrewd and wholesome suggestions .

In his literary treatment of the telegraphic profession— a fieldwhere some of his earliest triumphs were won— there is not one

competitor to approach him .— A S a f ar-seeing critic he has

proved himself fearless and just , y et so good-natured , that his

Victims can never muster up feelings of resentment . but rather

profit by his lecturing . Nor is his strength as a writer confinedto prose . His poetical efforts are well represented . The

estimation in which Mr . Phillips is hel d by the telegraphic

J O H N P H I L L I P S ,

OF DUXBURY , MASS , 1638 .

There was one , John Phillips of Duxbury and Marshfield ,

at a very early day . The records of his family are meagre ,

scattering and unsatisfactory . It is ev ident that no record was

kept by him , for we are informed by the Plymouth ColonyRecords that John Phillips of Marshfield , and Faith D oty ofPlymouth , Signed a marriage contract by making their marks ,Feb . 23 , 1 666 [ 1 667 N . He was doubtless the progenitor

of a large family which appears to include those given under

Nos . 70 to 89 of this work . After referring to various writers

whose accounts are sometimes conflicting , the following state

ments appear to be the most nearly correct

N o. 6 8 .

John 1 Phil lips , born in England , 1 602 , where he married .

He came to Duxbury as early as July , 1 638 , and bought a

house and land there of Robert Mendal l , Oct. 1 9 , 1 639 , pay

ments to be made y early , every first day of Oct . , at the house of

Mr . Winthrop , in Boston .

” After 1 643 he lived in Marshfield ,

where he was highway survey or in 1 655 , and constable in 1 657

July 3 1 , 1 658 , his son John was killed by lightning .

* He

married for second wife , July 6 , 1 654 , widow Gra ce Ho llo

w ay ,and she with their son Jeremiah were killed by lightning ,

Being at work in the meadow , mak ing hay , a tempest suddenly arose and he

immediately started f or the nearest house . Having entered he sat down between thedoor and the chimney , when the l ightn ing struck the chimney , and descending,passed out the door, knocking him l if eless on the ground .

There are good reasons f or believing that Capt . John Phillips may have been theoldest son . b . 1682, of Benjamin2 and Sarah (Thomas) Phillips, of Marshfield , and

grandson of John ,1 of Duxbury , 1638 , and , if so, the brother of Thomas who sett .

in E . Bridgewater about 1735 . The coincidence of names and dates points directly tothis source . In that case the number of his generation should be instead of(I .) and the number of each succeed ing

'

generation Should be changed to coincide .t For the f ollowing statements the compiler is indebted to Mr. Geo. Bassett of A sh

field , a descendant of Capt . John Ph illips .

The town of A shfield , called Huntstown prior to 1765 , was granted to a companyof soldiers f or service in an expedition to Canada in 1690, commanded by Capt.Ephraim Hunt of Weymouth . There were three in that company by the name ofPhill ips. The first settler of A shfield was Richard Ellis as stated above . The secondwas Thomas Phillips ; the third was Ebenezer Smith , whose wif e was Richard Ellis’sdaughter. Thomas Phillips lived in Deerfield a while , whether any more than a

short time being af raid of the Indians, I do not know .” In the above company there

was John Phillips who drew lot No. 6 in the first division . John Phillips drew f or

Richard Ph illips lot No. 13. Joshua Ph illips, who, I suppose , was my grandmother’s brother,” drew f or Joshua Ph ill ips lot No. 56. The proprietors of Huntstownmet and chose John Phillips moderator, March , 1738 , 1739 and 1740 ; “John Ph illipscommittee to lay out lots, committee to build a corn mill 1743. Thomas Ph illips was

chosen on a committee to see that no one should carry white p ine timber out of town ;Caleb Phillips and Thomas Phillips on a committee to settle the boundary betweenHuntstown and Deerfield ; Caleb Ph illips to have the care of the corn mill ; ThomasPhillips to lay out 100 acre lots ; Ph ilip Phill ips collector, There was a Benjamin Phill ips who had seven sons born f rom 1750 to 1767 I think ,” writes Mr.

To U . S . CONSULS, AbroadI have just learned that Genera l G . M . Dodge is about going to

to America , where he is actively emp loy ed in railroad construction

and management .

I take great p leasure in commending Genl . Dodge and f amily tothe courtesy and pol iteness of al l Americans , especial ly such as

occupy official positions , because Gen l . Dodge is one of the Generalswho actual ly f ought throughout the Civil War, with great honor and
