2. Dedication
This report on the genealogy of The Phipps Family would not have been made
possible without the help of my mother Astrid, the daughter of Albert Charles Anderson
(also known as Charles Albert Christiansen) and Dorothy Map Phipps.
Dorothy May Phipps, born on 2 May 1918, was the daughter of John Weston Phipps
(b.1879- ), a Yankee farmer from Dedham, MA, and Lillian Roache. I searched diligently
for information on John Weston Phipps and traced back to the earliest generation in Cameley,
Somersetshire, England. There are seven generations of royalty within the Phipps Family.
I have traced back to 13 generations to Johannes Phipps (born 1450).
I have had a special bond with my grandmother Dorothy since the day I was born,
and forever. For that reason, I dedicate my work to my mother’s mother, my grandmother
Dorothy May Phipps, a descendant of the Phipps Family.

Appendix I provide a brief outline of descendants of Johannes Phipps (born in 1450)
and extends to 13 generations of the Phipps Family. Individual profiles describe each prominent
Phipps, with their official title(s) of honor, term of office, birth, marriage, number of children,
date of death, age at death, and photograph. It is noted that within the sixth generation that
royalty lines extend from Sir Constantine Phipps (1656-1723) the first born son of six children
[Elizabeth, Constantine8
(b. 22Aug 1722; d. 13 Sep 1775), Catherine (b. 9Feb 1722/23), James
(b. 19 Oct 1725; d. 3 May 1747), and unknown son] of William 7
Phipps (1698-1730) and
Catherine Annesley. William7
Phipps was one of four sons of seven children [Mary, Francis7
(b. 31 Oct 1866; d. 2 Nov 1688), Constantine (b. 1691), Thomas (b. 26 May 1695; d.?), himself
William7
, Anne (b. 1701), and Frances (b. 1703; d.?)] born to Sir Constantine6
Phipps and
Katherine Sawyer. William7
Phipps was a Lord Chancellor of Ireland in the upper echelon of
society.
Sir Constantine6
Phipps (b. 1656, Reading, Berkshire, England; d. 9 Oct 1723, White
Waltham, England) was the eighth child and sixth son of eleven children [Francis6
(b. 2 Aug 1644;
d.1699), George (b. 30 Sep 1645; d. Sep 1726), James (b. 23 Nov 1649), Thomas (b. 18 Mar 1650/51),
Ann (b. 26 Jun 1652), Captain James (b. 10 Jun 1653; d. 1695), Mary (b. 1654), Sir Constantine6
(b. 1656; d. 9 Oct 1723), Anne (b. 1654; d. infancy), May, and Frances.
It is important to point out that Sir Constantine’s father Francis had a friend Constantine
Skinner which was the start of the use of Constantine in the family. Francis was the first born
of two sons born to George Phipps (b. 1571, Walton Hall, Nottingham, England; d. 1618) and
his second wife Anne Sharpe. George was the first born of six sons [himself George, Anthony
(b.?; d. 1583), John (b. ?; d. 1585), Henry (b.1577), Robert (b. 1580; d. 1582), and Emot (b. 1588)]
born to Robert Phipps (b. 1550, Nottingham, England,; d. 1610) and Isabel Brounley. Robert
Phipps (1550-1610)was the second son born to Richard Phipps (b. 1475, Cameley, Somersetshire,
England; d. 1525). Richard Phipps (1475-1525) was the son of Johannes Phipps (b. 1450, Cameley,
Somersetshire, England) and his wife [name unknown].

Appendix II “Interesting Facts in the Phipps Family History” summarizes remarkable
details. Among this information includes the following. The 1880 United States Census
(Boston, MA) record which was retrieved from the Ancestry.com website, shows that John
Weston Phipps (b. 1851) was the son of Eugene Phipps and Mary. In the United Kingdom News
Report for 22 July 1785 indicates that Solomon Phipps “was committed to Gloucester gaol, for
robbing and attempting to murder John Miller, a journeyman mason, on the highway between
Lawrence-hill. The Newgate Calendar describes that “Thomas Phipps, Esq., and Thomas Phipps,
His Son” were executed for a forgery committed by the younger man, who exonerated his father,
5 Sept 1789. Pownoll Phipps Genealogical Records (extracts from the book The Life of Colonel
Pownoll Phipps by Pownoll W. Phipps (London: Richard Bentley, 1894) describes information
on Colonel William Phipps, yeoman of Lincolnshire, his son Francis, whose son William invented
the diving bell in1683 and was knighted for it. Francis’s other son Captain James Phipps had
four sons, the eldest named “James” and “he never married, and he left will, Feb 26, 1753, which
is of interest from the care with which he provided for his slaves and the terms on which it shows
he lived with them.”
The Phipps Family and the Papermaking Industry made extraordinary contributions well
over 100 years to the progress of papermaking in the Dover area and to the development of the
papermaking industry in England. In 1752 William Phipps & Sons operated three mills: River
Mill (1689-1908), Crabble Mill (1780-1890’s), and Lower Buckland Mill (1795-1846) operated
by John and Christopher Phipps.

6. In the article “Phipps’ Expedition Against New France” describes Governor Sir William
Phipps expedition to Quebec City. Phipps was commander of the squadron and led his troops
against Acadia. He arrived at Port Royal on May 22, 1690 and easily captured the post, then
returned to Boston on June 9 with an impressive booty. On August 19 of the same year, Phipps
set sail for Quebec with a fleet of about 30 ships, including 4 large vessels and over 2,000 men.
Phipps’ squadron encountered several storms on the return voyage. Although his own vessel
reached its destination in December and others arrived in February, a number of his ships were
wrecked. Four never returned.
Historian Emerson W. Baker (1998) from the legal archives of New England researched
information on the owners of the vessels that took part in the expedition to Quebec City and on
the compensation they received from the Boston government for their losses. Four ships were
lost on their way back: The Mary, the Mary Ann, the Hannah and Mary and the Elizabeth and Mary.
The Mary, ran aground off of Anticosti Island. The Mary Ann rand aground as well but the site
was undetermined.
The historical importance of the shipwreck is fascinating. The siege of Quebec in
1690 was one of the most important events in the history of New France. It pitted Frontenac,
representative of Louis XIV in America and one of the most colorful figures of the period,
against Phipps, a sailor and famous adventurer from New England in the service of the British
Crown. The Anse aux Bouleaux shipwreck offers tangible, eloquent testimony to the event,
which took place during the colonial wars between New France and New England.
In 1995, Baker’s identification of the shipwreck discovered in Anse aux Bouleaux
determined the origin and date of the wreck and determined whether the ship was the Hannah
and Mary or the Elizabeth and Mary. The 17th
century vessel was built of white pine of North
America. According to Baker,
“Phipps and the General Court called for volunteers throughout the New England
colony, particularly in the towns of Dorchester and Roxbury. However, they had
trouble finding enough militiamen. Compulsory enrollment in several towns made
it possible to mobilize 280 men. Phipps set sail from the port of Nantasket in Boston
on August 10, 1690. The contingent had nearly 2,000 members, including about 50
Amerindians from the colony of Plymouth. Or the 32 ships that came to attack Quebec
City, only 5 06 6, including the flagship Six Friends, were actually warships. Most of
Others, which had been requisitioned specially for the expedition, were merchant or
fishing vessels. Wrecks from this period are very rare. The oldest identified to date in
Canadian waters are those of Red Bay, Labrador,, which date to the mid-16th
century
and are of Basque origin. The Anse aux Bouleaux shipwreck (1690) is probably the
oldest known in Quebec. The second oldest is the Corrosol, a vessel of the King of
France, which sank in the bay of Sept-Ĭles in 1693, followed by the ships from
Walker’s fleet, which ran aground at Ĭle aux Oeufs near Pointe-aux-Anglais in 1711.
The Anse aux Bouleaux shipwreck has several characteristics of tremendous historical
and archaeological importance. In addition to being the oldest wreck in Quebec, it is
a source of extremely valuable data on 17th
century shipbuilding in America. The
artifact collection is also surprisingly rich, not in terms of its market value, but for the
information it provides on lifeways during this period and on the expedition itself.”

7. Another fascinating piece of history is Mulgrave Castle, Yorkshire, England.
Constantine John9
Phipps, born in 1775, eventually inherited Mulgrave Castle from his
father Constantine8
Phipps (1767-1775) (“1st
Baron of Mulgrave”).
Some of the Phipps Family even claim to relate to Cherokee Indian origin. Benjamin
Franklin Phipps (b. 22 Feb 1882, Grayson, Virginia) lived in Weaversford, North Carolina.
Residing in Grassy Creek, North Carolina were: Bertha M. Phipps (b. 1 Apr 1889), Edward
(b.18 Aug 1884), Corban M. (1 Jun 1878), Ellen D. (b. 1 Aug 1873), Eli J. (b. 29 Dec 1844),
daughter Ennis (b. 23 Aug 1874), James E. (b. 29 Dec 1888), James R. (b. 10 Feb 1875),
Joyce (b. 15 Apr 1851), Mary J. (b. 6 May 1861), Rhoda L. (b. 1 Apr 1882), Robert F.
(b. 17 Nov 1851), and Rush F. (b. 29 Jan 1875). Frances M. Phipps resided in Indianapolis,
Indiana. Mattie (b. 14 Apr 1872) and William M. (b. 2 Jan 1886) resided in Rex, Oklahoma.
Other materials included Phipps Family Pages located at Ancestry.com website.
These include: Color photograph of John Phipps (b. 1696-1699; d. 1746) home in Sherborn, MA;
Central Burying Ground, Sherborn, MA (list of gravestones which was compiled by Francis Bardwell
(May 25, 1883) and typed taken from small sheets of 45 names) in a pocket notebook. Some of
the pages were lost. A 1916 map of Burying Ground showed additional names was added by
B. JohnsonJune 3, 1987. Color photographs of Phipps Corner Cemetery, Oppenheim, Fulton
County, New York, (which is situated north of Lottville Rd.) showed the graves of David Phipps,
his wife Betsy Cloyes;Elmer Cammon Phipps, his wife Lucinda, his second wife Celia Galusha
Phipps, and Sarah Augusta Phipps.
Of particular interest is Chapter 7-Descendents of Loammi Walker Phipps. Loammi
Walker Phipps and his wife Lorana Elvira Pinson had nine children, five sons [Charles W.
(b.9 Jun 1837; d. 16 Aug 1864), Albert Loammi (b. 1839/40; d. 29 Apr 1895), Benjamin F.
(b. 1841; d. 17 Jul 1866), Henry A. (b. 6 May 1847; d. aft 1866), and Amos Eugene (b. 15 May
1851; d. 1910).] and four daughters [Helen Maria (b. 6 Sep 1834; d. 6 Jul 1903), Emeline E.
(b. 1843; d. aft 1867), Laurana C. (b. 26 Mar 1844), and Laura (b. 7 Oct 1856; d. 6 Mar 1863).
John Weston Phipps was born in 1879 the son and youngest child of three children born
to Amos Eugene Phipps and Mary Riley and two daughters Laura H. (b. 15 Jul 1872; d. 22 May
1903) and Carrie Louise (b. 29 Jan 1877; d. 30 Oct 1916). John Weston Phipps married Lillian
Roache and had three children, six sons [Charles Henry (b. 26 Jul 1909; d. 4 Jun 1993), John
Weston “Jack” Phipps, Jr. (b. 1915; d. Sep 1964), George David (b. 9 Sep 1917; d. Sep 1978),
Walter Francis (b. 3 Aug 1922; d. 20 May 1985), Arthur Richard (b. 28 Aug 1922; d. Feb 1986),
and Eugene Russell (b. 20 Mar 1925; d. 7 Mar 2004), and three daughters [Grace Margaret
(b. 7 Apr 1900; d. Dec 1980), Alice Louise (b. 8 Aug 1911; d. 7 Oct 1983), and Dorothy May
(b. 3 May 1918; d. 10 Jul 1974).

8. Dorothy May Phipps married Albert Charles Anderson, the son of Oscar Hilbert Christiansen
(b.1880; d.1912) and Bertha Victoria Slade. Oscar Hilbert Christiansen was a deep-sea fisherman
who lost his life off of the coast of New England. When Bertha married her second husband Oscar
Anderson, Albert Charles took the last name of his step-father Oscar Anderson; thus, his name
became Albert Charles Anderson. Documents were uncovered which revealed an interesting fact
that Albert Charles Anderson’s birth name was “Charles Albert Christiansen” born 8 Nov 1914
on Prince St. right near to the harbor in the North End of Boston. He died on 2 May 1996, Pompano
Beach, Florida. Confusing to say the least but additional documents corroborated that Albert Charles
had three brothers and two sisters which was not previously known. In the late 1930’s his last
name changed back to Anderson. Dorothy and Albert Anderson had three children: his son Arthur
Weston (b. 15 Feb 1943) and two daughters Astrid Claire (b. 17 Sep 1937), and Janet (b. 10 Jan 1948).
The name “Weston” which is the middle name of John Weston Phipps became a concern
to determine its origin. When I was told by my mother that her brother (my Uncle Arthur) that
his birth name was “Arthur Weston Phipps”, I began to search for answers and along which
lineage and how far back in the Phipps ancestry is the name Weston. It didn’t take me long
to figure it out. John Weston Phipps was named after his great-great grandfather Loammi
Walker Phipps’ distant relative of his 8 times great grandfather William4
Phipps (1578-1605)
son James5
bro Frances5
son Captain James6
bro Sir Constantine6
son William7
son Constantine8
(“1st
Baron of Mulgrave”) son of Constantine John9
(“2nd
Baron of Mulgrave”) son Captain Weston
Phipps (1785- ).
With the verification of data I confirmed that Governor Sir William Phipps’ relation to
the Phipps Family, he is of the 6th
generation of the descendents of Johannes Phipps (b. 1450- ).
Also, Captain Weston Phipps is of the 9th
generation, and he was born 23 Mar 1785, Exeter,
England.
Most of the report on the genealogy of the Phipps Family was generated by the
installation of ROOTSMAGIC 3 genealogy software program. Data was entered into the fields
of the necessary genealogical information. As a result, the genealogical program generated
the final report based upon your individual criteria selected. Additional materials were generated,
such as, “Sources” (used for bibliographic references) and “Index” (used for names and dates of
individuals). Therefore, a comprehensive index provides names organized in alphabetical order
and chronologically by birth and death date. In addition, I decided to include names and royal
titles are located in a separate index. It was worth my while investing in this program to generate
the final genealogy report(s); proving successful results. I have the ability and tenacity to ream
through information and provide substantial written reports even without the use of ROOTSMAGIC.
However, it was so convenient to use especially when there are numerous people with the same
name. This allowed for titles and also middle names; for example, Sir Constantine6
Phipps
(1656-1723), his son Constantine8
Phipps (1767-1775) (“1st
Baron of Mulgrave”), his son

9. Constantine John9
Phipps (1775-1792) (“2nd
Baron of Mulgrave”), Constantine Henry Phipps
(1831-1863) (1st
Marquess of Normanby), Reverend Lord Constantine Charles Henry Phipps
(1890-1932) (3rd
Marquess of Normanby), and also, Lord Constantine Edmund Walter Phipps
(1994-present) (5th
Marquess of Normanby); John Weston Phipps, Sr. (1879- ) and John
Weston Phipps, Jr. (1915-1964).

10. Introduction
(2011 Edition)
After the completion of the first edition of the Genealogy of The Phipps Family additional
materials and information were uncovered. Innovative information surfaced based upon the
documentation which originated from Cameley, Somersetshire, England. Documentation from
research gathered corroborates that the Phipps emigrated from England to Barbados in the
Caribbean; to New England, Mid-Atlantic, and also, Southeast Coast states. Some Phipps families
emigrated west to escape the harsh persecution of Cherokee Indians. Yet other families emigrated
from New England states to the West in New York, Ohio, and Indiana, and also to Nova Scotia in
Canada.
William Phipps (1578-1625), the son of Robert, (b. 1550 Nottingham, England, and died
in 1618) had four sons: James (1606/12-bef 1654), Edward (1605- ) William (1607-1636), and
Joseph (1640- ) who immigrated to America. The family of William (1607-1636) arrived in
Plymouth, MA before the 1630’s. The family of James Phipps arrived in Maine in 1640. James
and Mary Phipps founded and named the town of Phippsburg, Maine, early in the 17th century.
The family of Edward Phipps arrived in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1654. The family
of Joseph Phipps arrived in Reading and Philadelphia, PA in 1680.
John Phipps (b. 1580; Worcester, England) [son of William (b.1550) and Susan] his son
John and his family immigrated to Virginia. The family John Phipps arrived in 1640 in James City
(now Jamestown), Virginia. However, William’s other son Joseph Phipps, Sr. his son Solomon
emigrated to Massachusetts. The family of Solomon Phipps (1619-1671) arrived in 1641 in
Charlestown, MA. Joseph Phipps, Sr. had another son Benjamin. The family of Benjamin Phipps
(1781-1838) arrived in Virginia.

11. NEW ENGLAND
Documentation and photographs have surfaced relating to the descendants of
Deacon/Sergeant Aaron Phipps (1730-1792) and his wife Zerviah Haven which proved to be
beneficial in understanding how the descendants of the Phipps family came to reside in
Massachusetts. Most of the descendants of the Phipps Family lived in England. However, new
information surfaced about Solomon Phipps who lived in Charlestown, MA and his relationship
to the other Phipps are living throughout Massachusetts.
MASSACHUSETTS
The earliest known arrival to the New England states occurred in Massachusetts.
In 1630 the family of William5
Phipps (b. 1607; d. 1816) arrived in Plymouth, MA. William
(1607-1636) and his family arrived in Plymouth, MA John Phipps (b.1696-1699; d. 1746)
and his family lived in Sherborn, MA John Phipps and Hannah were buried in the Central
Burying Ground, Sherborn, MA. The nine children of Deacon/Sergeant Phipps are of primary
concern for they lived west of Boston, near the areas of Holliston, Ashland, Hopkinton,
Framingham, and Sherborn, MA.
John Phipps (b. Dec 1668 in Sheepscot, Maine; d. btwn. 1742 and 1754, Wrentham, MA)
[the brother of Governor Sir William Phipps] married Mary Underwood before 1694 in Reading,
MA. John and Mary had four children, son John (b. btwn 1696 and 1699; d. 16 Oct 1746 in
Sherborn, MA) and three daughters Anna, Margaret, and Anna (b. 1694). His son John married
Hannah Bullen and had six children, five sons Reverend William Phipps (b. 17 Apr 1720;
d. 4 Dec 1798), Lieutenant John Phipps (b. 13 May 1723; d. 10 Jan 1809), Lieutenant Jedediah
Phipps (b. 11 Mar 1724/25; d. 14 Oct 1818), Moses Phipps (b. 28 Jun 1727; d. bef. 1746),
and Deacon/Sergeant Aaron Phipps (b. 12 Jan 1730; d. 25 Oct 1792 from smallpox) and one
daughter Mary (b. 24 Dec 1773; d. 26 Sep 1775). Deacon/Sergeant Aaron Phipps and his wife
Zerviah had seven sons Aaron B. Phipps (b. 11 Dec 1757; d. bef. 1761), Samuel (b.11 Dec 1757;
d. 3 Aug 1825), Lieutenant Aaron Phipps (b. 11 Feb 1761; d. 21 Aug 1809), Jonathan Phipps
(b. 8 Oct 1765; d. 15 Dec 1818), Moses (b. 24 Aug 1767; d. 9 Feb 1813), Joseph (b. 24 Jun 1769;
d. 6 May 1842), and Deacon William Phipps (b. 3 Sep 1771; d. 18 Apr 1850) and two daughters
Anne (b. 9 Dec 1762) and Mary (b. 24 Jun 1769; d. 17 Aug 1769). Documents provide a glimpse
into the lifestyle, occupation, transfer of property, land and his estate to his children, description
of the household, furniture, and contents of domestic items. Illustrations, such as, as described
in the notes for Lieut. Aaron Phipps (1761-18090, Jonathan (1765-1818), Moses (1767-1813),
and Joseph (1769-1842).

20. MAINE
In 1640, the family of James5
Phipps (b.1606-12; d. bef 1654), his wife Mary and their
26 children arrived in Maine. James Phipps, born between 1606 and 1612 in Mangotsfield,
Gloucester, England, was one of six children of William Phipps (b. 1578; d. 1625) of Bristol,
England, and Susan Stone. His other siblings were: John (d.1585), Joseph (b. 1640; d. 1716),
Henry (b. 1597; d. 1629), Joan (b. 1601/02), Edward (b. 1605). James emigrated before 1636
from Bristol, England. He was a gunsmith, carpenter, and also, a shipwright in Pemaquid, Maine.
James and Mary had 26 children (22 sons and 4 daughters) of which his son William also known
as Governor Sir William Phipps. However, information points out that Phipps was one of the
youngest of fourteen children born to two different fathers. One of James’ sons Captain John
Phipps (b. 1634), a ship captain, married Elizabeth Gent and had five children two sons (William
and John) and three daughters Anne (b. 1636; d. bef. 1693), Mary (b. 1637; d. 8 Dec 1721), and
Margaret(b. 1640; d. aft.1704). William born on 2 Feb 1650/51 in Woolwich (Phipps Point),
Sagadahoc, Maine. He died on 18 Feb 1694/95 in London, England. William became known
as Governor Sir William Phipps of Massachusetts and his involvement in the Salem witchcraft
trials in Salem, MA. Even his wife Mary Spencer Hull was accused of witchcraft. In addition,
he was commander of squadron and led troops against Acadia. He led expeditions against
New France, in command of 30 ships and 2,000 men, captured the post, and returned to
Boston with an impressive booty. The shipwreck of Phipps’ ship at Baie-Trinite is demonstrative
of his efforts against Frontenac in the battle of October 1690 of the French versus English
at Quebec. Historian Emerson W. Baker described the historical importance of the shipwreck
in an article in the July 2000 issue of National Geographic.
Sir William Phipps was described in Cotton Mather’s book Phipps: The First of Our
Self-Made Man. He was also the first American-born colonist to receive the honor of Knighthood.
Sir William was a treasure hunter during the 1680’s traveling to the Bermuda, Bahamas, Jamaica,
and Hispaniola seeking treasure from wrecked ships and sunken Spanish ships, such as, Nuestra
Señora de la Concepción, had wrecked in 1641. He and his crew retrieved gold and silver bullion,
doubloons, jewelry, and other artifacts culminating in value closer to £300,000 which he carried
to England and gave liberal portions to the Crown and to the King of Great Britain, in consideration
of which he was knighted and was appointed the Governor of the Colony of Mass. His military
expeditions during 1689 and early 1690 were at Battle of Port Royal (1690) and the Battle of Quebec
(1690).
John Phipps, born 5 Jun 1792 married Katrina Haney and had twelve children. In the
REPUBLIC SPECIAL newspaper, Boston, October 21—“Phipps Family a Record Breaker: Twelve
Children, 108 Grandchildren and 1,142 Descendants in the Last One Hundred and Forty Years”.
Twelve children, 168 [or 163?] grandchildren and 1,142 descendants in 110 years with 3[,]000
in 140 years is the record of the family of Phipps in the United States. Members of few if any
other families will compare with them. They have impressed their names and individuality all
over the land in Phippsburgs and Phippsvilles, while their other monuments are in creeks and
lakes and in achievements. Samuel Phipps Brigham of No. [160?] Bleecker street has nearly
completed the family record, and the work may be judged from the numbers.

21. John Phipps, the first born, June [3? or 5?], 1792, married Katrina Haney, in West Fairfield
Township, Ligonier Valley, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and in 1797 settled in Venango
County, Pennsylvania. Twelve children were born to them, and the ten surviving of these were the
parents of [108?], thus making 120 persons in two generations, and within 105 years after their
marriage 1,142 direct descendants.
The descendants of John and Katrina Haney Phipps now number more than 1,200. Of this
prolific branch, Judge David Phipps married first, Miss Margaret Stewart, to whom were born eleven
children, and, second, Miss Jane Eakin, to whom was born one daughter, who in turn became the
ancestor of 108. They are now represented by Mrs. Sarah Phipps Fulton of Beatrice, Neb., wife of the
late John Bascum Fulton, M. D.; Mrs. Margaret Phipps Parker of Parker, Pa., widow of Fullerton
Parker, and Mrs. Etta Phipps Truro, wife of Theodore Truro of Colorado Springs, Colo.
Mrs. Eliza Phipps Egbert of Franklin, Pa., widow of the late Albert G. Egbert, M. D.; Cyrus
Dixon Phipps of Rocky Grove, Pa.; Mrs. Nancy McKinley Phipps Cross, wife of William Carlisle Cross, of
Kennerdell, Pa., and Jon Hervey Craig Phipps of Pueblo, Colo., are the sole survivors of the old stock.
Sarah married First, Allen McDowell of Venango County, Pa., to whom one child was born, who is
represented by Allen McDowell Ghost, of Denver, Colo., and second, John Scott, whose three
children and less than fifty descendants of the family names of Scott and Wade of Zanesfield, O., are
of the smaller branches.
Captain Robert P. Phipps ( -1820) married xxxxxxxxx. They had son George
William Phipps, born 1808 and died 1870. George William Phipps married xxxxxxxx.

It is interesting to note that William Phipps, who died after 1782 was an original descendant
of Solomon Phipps of Charlestown, MA. William married Patience Ley and traveled excursions
from Halifax to Massachusetts transporting good such as ballast and assortment of food. He was
appointed Justice of the Peace at Cape Breton in the county of Halifax.
From William Phipps descend some residents of Maine and Massachusetts. Among
these people include Samuel Phipps (1767-1857), Solomon Phipps (1808-1882), Gilbert Toothaker
Phipps (1858-1943), Minnie Mabel Phipps, (1861-1935), Harry Linwood Phipps (1868-1946), and
Samuel Phipps (1804-1893) from Maine. They have died and were buried in Massachusetts.

32. Other reasons to delve into the history of the Phipps Family were to determine how
and where the Phipps Family resided in the United States. With the possibility of additional
news on the background of Cherokee lineage, I pursued to examine the families in southeastern
part and along the eastern coast of the United States. It is amazing to find how all of the families
that have been uncovered in the United States do not have primary roots in this country but trace
further back to the origins in England. The connection of these families traces back to the earliest
family of Johannes and his wife Alice and his son Richard (b. 1475; d.1525) Nevertheless, new
information has surfaced about Johannes. Early English records, specifically noted in “The Phipps
Family of Shropshire, England” compiled by Gustave Anjou, illustrated that Johannes Phipps appears
in a disposition of 1292, to prove the age of Johannes, “then declaring that he was about 60 years
old, which means he was born about 1232 A.D.”. From that point forward the name Johannes does
not occur again for another 200 years. It appears that the family continued to own property in that
county and that Johannes Phipps was the progenitor of the name.
When his son Richard married Margaret they had two sons Thomas and Robert.
However, who would have thought that the children of Robert and his wife Isabel Brounley would
immigrate to America during the early 17th
century to America. It is at this point in time, that his
descendants dispersed throughout south-eastern states of America. There were at least seven
marriages of Phipps in Brunswick County, Virginia. About ninety-five percent of the families
resided in Cherokee land: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennesee, Texas.
The Phipps ancestry can be traced through Cherokee Indian lineage, and also, descend to their
children and future generations. For example, James Phipps children, in particular, Columbus
Phipps married a Cherokee woman and lived in Oklahoma. The Dawes/Guion Miller Rolls
(1898-1914) illustrate Cherokee roots as described in the census of people forced to Oklahoma
(Also known as “the Trail of Tears”). Among the members of the Phipps family on the census
are Alberta 4989/21373), Amanda (4981/21368), Bettie (4982/10743), Beulah (4986/21370),
Carrie (4984/24959), Ella B. (4988/21372), Joe (4985/21369), John (49853/21374), Lulu P.
(4987/21371) and Mattie (4546/None).
There is corroborating evidence that Elizabeth, the wife of James Phipps, her two sisters
Sallie and Ruth Helton married Matoys. Ruth went West with her nine children in 1834, and along
with 201 other Cherokee families. The Matoys are direct descendants of the famous Matoy/Moytoy
line. The Matoy brothers are descendants of the line of leaders of the Cherokees. As the Matoys
inter-married with the Phipps family, future descendants will exhibit the traits of Cherokee
characteristics in their family lineage. At the Oklahoma Historical Society Chronicles of Oklahoma,
Volume 16, No. 1, March, 1938 relate to EASTERN CHEROKEE CHIEFS by John P. Brown reveals
that the Cherokees, a branch of the great Iroquoian family of Indians, believed to have
emigrated the Southern Appalachians about the Thirteenth Century.

33. Brown gives a remarkable descriptive synopsis of the physical environment in the
Southeastern part of the United States as well as illustrating a representation of the prominent
feature of Cherokee nation. Native American Indians occupied a large percentage of land
throughout the United States.
Among the names of Cherokee chiefs in southeastern states include: Uskama-Lena “Bull Head”,
Cheera-ta-he-gi “Possessor of Sacred Fire”, Outacite “Man Killer”, Oconostota “War Chief”,
Kitegiska, and also, Oukou-naka (also known as Atta-culla-culla) “Little Carpenter”. The first
mention of Cherokee chiefs. Cherokees had dealings with Virginia as early as 1689. Their
principal affairs, however, were handled by the English through the Colony of South Carolina,
and it is from the South Carolina records. The last fight between Cherokees and Creeks occurred
in 1755 at Taliwa, the Cherokees were victorious, and Northern Georgia was abandoned by
the Creeks, De Soto, who might have helped us, visited numerous Cherokee towns, but failed in
every instance to mention the name of the chief. The original Cherokee settlement was the old
town Kituwah, at the junction of Ocona Lufty and Tuckasegee Rivers. The tribe was from the
earliest times divided into seven clans, and a few of the town-names indicate that each clan may
have originally occupied a separate village.
The seven clans were, Ani-gatugewa, Kituwah People; Ani-kawi, Deer People; Ani-waya, Wolf
People; Ani-Sahani, Blue Paint People; Ani-wadi, Red Paint People; Ani-Tsiskwa, Bird People;
and Ani-Gilahi, Long Hair People. The first chief of whom we have mention is Uskwa-lena, Bull
Head or Big Head, who defeated the Creeks in a battle at Pine Island, Alabama, the present
Guntersville, in 1714. A chief, Cheera-ta-he-gi, "Possessor of the Sacred Fire," is mentioned as
head man of the Lower Towns in the year 1714. Pine Island was thereafter a Cherokee settlement
known as Creek Path, Kusanunnehi. The name Outacite was a war honor conferred upon a chief
who had killed an enemy in battle. The name is literally, Untsi-tee-hee, Man Killer. The name
Outacite was a war honor conferred upon a chief who had killed an enemy in battle. The name is
literally, Untsi-tee-hee, Man Killer.
Seven years later, Governor Nicholson signed a treaty with Chief Outacite by which the Cherokees
made their first cession of land to the white men, and agreed to trade with the English. Following
that date, (1721) Colonel George Chicken was appointed by the Governor to supervise the Indian
trade. Information concerning the various chiefs who attained prominence, found in the records
of South Carolina. The Cherokees occupied, at that time, four principal groups of towns.
1) The Lower Towns, around the headwaters of Tugaloo River, in South Carolina. The principal
towns were Seneca, Tugaloo, Keowee, Noyowee, Qualatchie, Sticoyee, and Estatoe, with numerous
smaller villages. The Cherokees, by right of conquest, claimed all the mountainous section now
embraced in East Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and North Georgia. They claimed in
addition as their hunting grounds, Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. 2) The Middle Towns, upon
the headwaters of the Tennessee. The principal towns were Kituwah, Nucassee, Etchoe, Cowe,
Ayore, and Ellijay. 3) The Valley Towns, along Valley and Hiwassee Rivers, in North Carolina;
principal towns Esthenore, Cheowee, Taseechee, Notally, Turtle Town, Tamotley, and Cootacloohee.
4) The Overhill Towns, situated in Tennessee along the Little Tennessee and Hiwassee Rivers;
principal towns, Echota, Tellico, Hiwassee, Tuskegee, Tamotley, Toquo, Citico, Chilhowie, Tallassee,
and Chestuee. The population of the Cherokees about 1730 was estimated to be not far from 60,000.
Cuming's Journal, republished in Williams, Early Travels in the Tennessee Country, Watauga Press, 1928.
The name Moytoy means, in Cherokee, Amo-Adaw-ehi, Water Conjuror, or Rainmaker. Oconostota,
the great Cherokee War Chief, was just coming into prominence. He did not accompany the delegation
to England, but his brother, Kitegiska the Prince, was one of the visiting chiefs and spoke for the Indians
before the King. He later attained considerable prominence. By far the most important of the seven,
however, was Oukou-naka, who was later to be known as Atta-culla-culla (the Little Carpenter), one of
the greatest Cherokees who ever lived. He became Peace Chief of the Nation, associated with Oconostota
as War Chief.

34. During the year, Sir Alexander was sent to cement the Cherokees still more closely to England. He toured
the country, and held a great council at Nucasee or Nequassee, near the present Franklin, North Carolina.
Outacite, the Peace Chief who had concluded the treaty with Governor Nicholson nine years earlier, had
died in 1729, and had been succeeded by Moytoy, of Tellico. Moytoy was by consent of the other chiefs
given the Cuming the title of Cherokee Emperor.
Unfortunately for the interest of the Cherokees and of the English, Sir Alexander Cuming became involved
the barbarous debt laws of the time, and was thrown in jail for debt. He was thus unable to accompany the
Cherokees on their return trip to America. The Indians loved him, and were much impressed by his
imprisonment. They regarded the white men as exceedingly foolish to place a man in jail for debt, thus
making it impossible for him to pay. Moytoy, the Cherokee "Emperor," died about 1753. His son,
Amo-sgasite, (Dreadful Water) claimed his title. The Cherokees, according to their ancient custom, selected
their own head man, and the choice fell upon Standing Turkey of Echota, Kana-gatoga, known to the white
men as Old Hop because he was advanced in age, and lame. Oconostota was at the time War Chief, and
Atta-culla-culla Peace Chief. Other prominent chiefs were Outacite of Keowee, known as Judd's Friend;
Big Eagle, Awali-na-wa, known to the white men as Willenawah, of Toquo; Wahatchie, Waya-tsi, Bad Wolf,
head man of the Lower Towns; Round O of the Middle Towns; and Amo-sgasite of Tellico. Oconostota had
just led his warriors in the Battle of Taliwa by which all of North Georgia was gained to his people from the
Creeks. He was universally known as the Great Warrior of Echota. Attacullaculla, the Little Carpenter, is
described as the most influential man in the Nation.
It was not previously known until now about the ramifications of the emigration of
the Phipps Family to America. This resulted in the unique amalgamation (or integration)
of many skilled craftsmen, farmers, traders and entrepreneurs who became prominent wealthy
men in their communities. To mention a few rich men, in Massachusetts, George Phipps (b. 1802)
the son of Sylvanus Phipps, began with small means and became a dealer in pork and lard,
his business was $100,000 value. Sylvanus Phipps (b. 1785; d. 1870) was a dealer in livestock
and with $50,000 value. William Phipps started poor. He was a butcher. Then he became a boot
maker and had 200 employees and had $50,000 value. Moses Phipps (b. 1787) of Hopkinton, MA
became rich partly by inheritance and marriage but he started poor. He was blacksmith, trader
and farmer and his business was $50,000 value.
In addition, men and women became philanthropists. For example, in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, Henry Phipps, Jr. (1839-1930) the son of Henry Phipps and Hannah, grew
up in poverty. First he was an office boy, bookkeeper, and financier. But things changed when
he began in wealth management with Bessemer Trust Company. He became business partner
in Carnegie Steel Company. His philanthropic endeavors included: Phipps funded the Phipps
Institute for Study, Treatment and Prevention of Tuberculosis at the University of Pennsylvania,
and also, the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Service at John Hopkins Hospital in 1912, which made
possible the first inpatient facility in the United states for mentally ill constructed as part of
an acute care hospital. in addition, Henry funded the non-profit Phipps Houses to build affordable
housing in New York City. He was also a pioneer investor of real estate in Palm Beach and

35. Fort Lauderdale in Florida. Among other philanthropists were John Shaffer Phipps (1874-1958),
Gladys Mills Phipps (1883-1970), Lilian Bostwick Phipps (1906-1987), Ogden Phipps (1908-2002)
and Ogden Mills Phipps (b. 1940). Women became an influential part of the Women’s’ Suffrage
movement, including Women’s rights; and also, were active in social communities. Emily Frost
Phipps (1865-1943) joined the Women’s Freedom League. Amy Phipps Guest (1872-1959)
promoted women’s right to vote, funding for hospitals and programs for women’s health.
These men from the Phipps Family became strong prominent pioneers who led our
country towards an industrious outlook and future for many generations. The families of
Thomas Phipps, Edward Phipps (1605- ), James Phipps (1607/12-d. 1654), Henry Phipps,
John Phipps (1607-1689), William Phipps (1607-1816), Solomon Phipps (1619-1671) and
Joseph Phipps (1640-1716) are among those who made major contributions in the development
and growth of our nation. Their forefathers back in England would be proud of their sons
and daughters -- of their individual accomplishments -- towards the improvement of the physical
environment; political, economic and social advances; and the arts and sciences as well as
personal lifestyle and the enjoyment of life.
Several years ago was just the beginning of piecing this puzzle together of such
magnitude. It has been a magnificent journey to uncover bits and pieces. To decipher and
interpret the missing clues has been a challenge leading toward the completion of the Phipps
Family Project and the reconstruction of our nation’s heritage. The recognition of influential
members of the Phipps Family and their work ethics provides a better understanding of how
men and women, poor and rich, dealt with changes and/or technological advances in their
communities during the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. The Phipps Family changed
the face of our nation. Absolutely no one can truly comprehend as much as I have through
the research I have completed. The dedicated lives of these men, women and children who
Have shaped our country are no longer living to witness the progress of our nation’s growth
and prosperity. The preservation of this information is vitally important to record the past and
the accomplishments of our forerunners. Audiovisual materials, such as, oral history interviews,
photographs, drawings, artwork, objects, and videos provide just a glimpse into their personal
lives. These lives have become a part of the historic past of our nation.
My personal life-long commitment towards the preservation and access to historical,
archival, photographic, audiovisual and special collections of the history of the United States
is of the “utmost importance” in preserving our nation’s heritage. Through archaeological
excavations and the interpretation of cultural remains, this is an unforgettable experience
to view just one part of history. However, to become a part of that history is to preserve
that knowledge and teach the next generation to appreciate and value the importance of
history. I have done just that. My passion in genealogy encompasses more than I could have
ever anticipated. It is like a dream come true -- to become a part of our country’s historic past.
