Phillips Genealogies PDF Download

Excerpt from Phillips Genealogies: Including the Family of George Phillips, First Minister of Watertown, Mass., Through Most of the Traceable Branches From 1630 to the Present Generation 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 days experienced and willingly endured, that they might establish a government and found a nation, where the privileges of civil and religious liberty, and the benefits of general education, should be the blessed inheritance of their posterity for all time.
