General Notes: Husband - Joseph Phipps

---

Though married in the Established Church, he and his wife later joined the Society of Friends, came to America from Bristol in 1682 with the leader of that sect, William Penn, and settled at Philadelphia, where many of their descendants still (1919) live. Many of their posterity have occupied prominent and useful positions in the government and development of the State and Nation. Abingdon, a beautiful suburb of Philadelphia, was so named by Joseph Phipps after a favorite country seat near Oxford, England. It remains in the possession of his descendants, and a dwelling which he erected in 1697, two Friends' meeting houses, and Abingdon Seminary, are substantial reminders of the original owner. He was one of the first general assemblymen of Pennsylvania, being one of the nine members elect who represented Chester County in the first assembly convened at Philadelphia, on the 10th of January, 1683. [CAB, 584]

He received from Penn deeds of valuable lands that are on record, and copies of which were read at the Phipps Centennial Reunion, held in August, 1897. [CAB, 519]

Earlier members of the family in this country were James Phipps (father of Sir William Phipps) who settled in Maine early in the seventeenth century, and Solomon Phipps, who settled at Charlestown, MA, in 1642. The former, with others, founded a colony near the mouth of the Kennebec River in Maine, and being a gunsmith and shipbuilder was very useful in the activities of his community, whose circumstances and surroundings were of the most primitive character. He was the father of twenty-one sons and five daughters, Sir William Phipps, the first royal governor of Massachusetts, being the youngest son. Through his numerous progeny, intermarrying with other old New England families, the descendants of this remarkable man have for over three hundred years borne their part in the history and development of this country.
