Professor Andrew Wheeler PHILLIPS Phillips is a descendant of a branch of the Phillips family that settled early in Rhode Island. The first of his line to come to Connecticut was William Phillips, son of William Phillips, who was born in 1756, enlisted December. 1775. as pri- vate in the company of Captain Hawkins. Col- onel Varnum's regiment. He served for a period of thirteen months, engaging in the battles of Harlem Heights. Trenton and Princeton. He married, March 14. 1782. at North Kingston. Rhode Island. Mrs. Martha Albro, widow of Captain James Albro. Her descent can be traced to Pardon Tillinghast and many other Rhode Island families, June 29. 1818. William Phillips, then living at Vol- untown. Connecticut, and aged sixty-two years. applied for and received a pension. and July 15. 1825, he died. In his will. dated December 1, 1824, and proved August 1. 1825. he men- tions his beloved wife. Martha, his son. Daniel Phillips, his grandson. Harry Phillips, and his daughter. Peggy Hawkins. His inventory includes the item: avails of Pension. The surname Phillips is derived from the ancient baptismal name of Philip and dates from the first use of surnames in England.
Michael Phillips, the great-great-grand- father of William Phillips, settled in Rhode Island where his name appears in Newport as a freeman in 1668. The name of his wife was Barbara --- . After his death. in 1688. he married ( second ) Edward Inman. May 22. 1680, his widow joined with her second husband in a deed of gift to her sons, John. James and Richard Phillips. August 26, 1706, his widow, who is now also the widow of her second husband, declined administration on the
latter's estate. Children: 1. John, married Rebecca - : was of Newport. Rhode Island. 2. William, married Christian Baker, of Newport, Rhode Island. 3. James, married ( first ) Mary Mowry, daughter of John and Mary Mowry; (second ) Elizabeth Foster, of Westerly : was of Providence and Smithfield. 4. Richard, born 1667, married Sarah Mowry, daughter of Nathaniel and Joanna ( Inman ) Mowry: was of Providence and Smithfield. 5. Joseph, married Elizabeth Malavery, daugh- ter of John and Elizabeth Malavery, died Sep- tember 3, 1710. in Providence. 6. Alice, mar- ried Joshua Clarke, son of Joseph Clarke, and died after 1702. The sons are found living in various parts of Rhode Island, and by the third and fourth generation nearly every town was occupied by some branch of the family.
Daniel, son of William and Martha ( Albro Phillips, was born in 1787. probably in Volun- town, Connecticut, and married Sarah Barber, daughter of Jonathan and Sabra (Stanton) Barber.
Sabra, wife of Jonathan Barber, was born December 4, 1752, daughter of John and Su- sanna ( Lamphere ) Stanton. The first Stanton in this branch of the family was Robert, who was born in 1599. and settled in Newport. Rhode Island. in 1638. residing there until his death, August 5. 1672. By some he is called brother of Thomas Stanton, of Ston- ington, but no proof of such relation existo. He married Avis - -- , family name an- known.
Jolin Stanton, son of Robert and Avis Stan- ton, was born August. 1645, married ( first ) Mary. daughter of John Harndel, in 1667. and (second) Mrs. Mary Cranston, widow of Governor John Cranston and daughter of Gor- ernor Jeremiah Clarke. He was ancestor of the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, secretary of war under President Lincoln. His son. John Stan- ton. born April 22. 16;4. by his first wife. Miary Harndell, married (second ) Susanna Lamphere and was father of Sabra.
Israel Denison Phillips, son of Daniel Phil- lips, was born in Voluntown. Connecticut. An- gust 4. 1800. He was educated in the public schools and was a typical New England farin- er. endowed with hardheaded common sense. sturdy integrity, patient industry and tireless energy. He lived at Griswold. New London county. He married Wealthy Browning Wheeler. daughter of Guy and Fanny : Brown- ing) Wheeler. She was a woman of great mental vigor and deep spirituality. Children : J. Andrew Wheeler, mentioned below. 2. Daniel Lyon, born July 18, 1852. married Mary Young. of Jewett City. Griswold, Con- necticut. Ile is a farmer and has held va-

rious public offices of trust and responsibility in his native town.
Wealthy Browning Wheeler, wife of Israel Denison Phillips, was descended from Mr. John Wheeler, who came to New London, Connecticut, in 1067, was a prominent mer- chant and very enterprising and successful in foreign trade. leaving at his death property which inventoried, December 16, 1691. £1.383 35. 6d. His wife Elizabeth married ( second ) Richard Steere, who with her was appointed administrator of the estate.
Joshua Wheeler, son of John Wheeler, born 1680. was father of Captain Zacchens Wheel- er, who, September 23. 1736, married Sarah Harris, of a family of that name prominent in the early settlement of New London. Guy Wheeler, of the next generation, born May 23, 1733. married Mercy Bolles, born July 19. 1758.
Joseph Bolles, the first of the name to cross the Atlantic. was in 1640 engaged in trade at "Winter Harbor" near the mouth of the Saco river in the then province of Maine, re- moving later to Wells, Maine, where he held the office of town clerk from 1654 to 1664. Mr Bolles died at Wells in the fall of 1678, leaving a widow Mary, daughter of Morgan Howeil. and a large estate for his eight chil- dren, all living at that date.
The name Bolles is found in the roll of Battle Abbey and the family is of long stand- ing in the county of Lincoln. Thanks to the will of John Bolles, of St. James, Clerkenwell. Middlesex. Esquire. 1. July. 1605, proved 9 May, 1666, leaving E300 "unto my brother Joseph Bolies, living in New England." Jo- seph Bolles is positively identified as the fo- seph, son of Thomas Bolles, of Osburton in the visitation of Nottinghamshire, connecting him with a pedigree of fourteen generations back to Alane or Alaine Bolle, of Swineshead and Bolle Hail in the county of Lincoln in the reign of Henry III. This makes a line of twenty-one generations from Professor Phil- lips to the same Alain, with numerous coats- of-arms of connecting families.
The Bolles coat-of-arms is very interesting. being an early specimen of the punmning arms. A shield azure with three bars heads of gold in cups or bowls of silver the cups represent- ing the name Bowls ( Bolles) and boars heads. the name of the estate. Swineshead. Mr. William S. Appleton includes the arms of "Joseph Bolles. Well -. Mas ;.. now Maine." in his litnited list of thirty-one "Positive Pedi- grees and Authorized Arms."
Thomas Bolles, son of Joseph and Mary ( Howell) Bulles, removed to New London soon after he reached manhood and married
there (first) Zipporah Wheeler, of Groton. Connecticut.
John Bolles, the third and only surviving son of Thomas and Zipporah Bolles, was born August, 1677, at New London. At the age of thirty becoming dissatisfied with the ten- ets of the Presbyterian church, he united with the Rogerenes and was immersed by John Rogers, the elder. Well educated, familiar with the Bible, independent in fortune, earn- est in his convictions and of a proselyting spirit, bold and fond of discussion. Mr. Bolles engaged very actively in polemical contro- versy and wrote and published many books and pamphlets, some of which, still extant, prove him to have been as Miss Caulkins says. "fluent with pen and adroit in argument upon the spurr of his convictions." He devoted himself to the great cause of religious free- dom, encountering opposition and persecu- tion and suffering fines and imprisonments and beating with many stripes. It is no ex- travagant eulogy to say that John Bolles was a great and good man. His works are lus best epitaphs. He married for his first wife Sarah, daughter of John Elgecombe, of New London, and his wife, Sarah Stallion tor Sterling ). Sarah Stallion was the daughter of Edward Stallion, of New London, at first a coastwise trader for whom was built the shin "Edward and Margaret" in 1681. His stone house in Town street, New London, was built before 1660. Later in life he be- caune a resident farmer in North Groton, non Ledvard.
John Edgecombe, the father of Sarah. was son of Nicholas Edgecombe, and the line runs back from Professor Phillips, twenty gen- erations, to John de Edgecombe. born about 1250, A. D. The present Earls of Mount Edgecombe are of this family.
Joshua Bolles, of the next generation, born August 5, 1712, New London, married Jan- vary 39, 1739. Joanna, daughter of Thomas and Sarah ( Babcock ) Williams, granddaugh- ter of Thomas and Joanna Williams, of New London, 1670.
Mercy, daughter of Joshua Bolles, born July 19. 1758, married Guy Wheeler. as above.
Fanny Browning, wife of Guy Wheeler. I ... son of Guy and Mercy ( Bolles ) Browning. was descended from another group of Rhode Island ancestors.
Nathaniel Browning, of Portsmouth and Kingston, Rhode Island, married Sarah, daugh- ter of William Freeborn, one of the eigli- teen original proprietors of Aquidlneck. who settled Pocasset flater Portsmouth ), 1638.
William Browning, son of Nathaniel Brown- ing. married Rebecca, daughter of Samuel

and Hannah ( Porter) Wilbur, granddaugh- ter of Samuel Wilbur, another of the pro- prictors of Aquidneck, 1638, and named in the Royal Charter granted by King Charles 11, 1663.
John Porter, the father of Hannah Porter, was also an original proprietor of Aquidneck. 1638, and named in the Royal Charter. As- sistant, 1640-44-50-04, commissioner from 1658 to 1661.
John Browning. son of William and Re- becca ( Wilbur ) Browning, married Ann Haz- ard, daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah ( Smith) Hazard, granddaughter of Robert and Mary ( Brownell) Hazard, and great-granddaughter of Thomas Hazard, a founder of the Historic Charter Colony of Newport. 1639.
Mary Brownell, daughter of Thomas and Ann Brownell, and wife of Robert Hazard, died January 28, 1739, age one hundred years (see "Boston Gazette." February II, 1739), leaving five hundred children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Sarah Smith, wife of Jeremiah Hazard, was daughter of Jeremiah and Mary ( Ger- eardy ) Smith, and granddaughter of John Smith, of Prudence Island.
Mary Gereardy, wife of Jeremiah Smith, was daughter of Jan Gereardy and his wife Renewed, daughter of John and Margaret Sweet, and granddaughter of Philip and Marie ( Pollet ) Gereardy.
Ephraim Browning, son of John and Ann ( Hazard ) Browning, married Susanna Davis and his daughter Fanny was the wife of Guy Wheeler and the mother of Wealthy Browning Wheeler. wife of Israel Denison Phillips.
Professor Andrew Wheeler Phillips, son of Israel Denison Phillips, was born in Gris- wold. March 14, 1844. In youth he attended the district school of his native town and private schools taught by college men in their summer vacations. During four years he was engaged in teaching in the public schools of eastern Connecticut and in study- ing by himself the higher branches of mathematics. From 1864 to 1875 he was instructor in that branch at Cheshire Acad- emy. In 1871 he began to study mathe- matics under Professor Hubert A. Newton. of Yale College, and in 18;3 received the de- Arce of Ph. B. from Vale, followed in 1877 by the degree of Ph. D. after specializing in mathematics, physics and political economy. Trinity College conferred upon him the hon- orary degree of A. M. in 1875. He began to teach in Yale College in 1876 and was elected a tutor there in 1877. In 1881 he was made assistant professor and in 1891 full professor of mathematics. Since 1895 he has been dean
of the Graduate School of Yale University. In 1883 he was chosen a trustee of the Episcopal Academy of Connecticut at Che- shire; in 1886 a trustee of the Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven; in 1891 trustee of the Hotchkiss School at Lake- ville, of which board he has been president since 1900. He is a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences and a fellow of the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science. In politics he is a Republi- can; in religion an Episcopalian. He is a member of the Connecticut Society, Sons of the American Revolution. by virtue of the revolutionary service of his ancestors. He belongs to the Graduates' Club of New Haven and to the New Haven Colony Historical Society. Professor Phillips was the originator of the Connecticut Almanac, and edited it from 1882 to 1894. He wrote a biographical sketch of Professor Hubert A. Newton for the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society. and has contributed numerous papers on mathematics and astronomy to scientific and mathematical societies which have been pub- lished in whole or in part. He is joint author of "Transcendental Curves" ( Newton and Phillips, 1875) : "Graphic Algebra" ( Phillips and Beebe. 1882) : "The Elements of Geom- etry" ( Phillips and Fisher, 1896) ; "Trigo- nometry and Tables" ( Phillips and Strong, 1898) : "The Orbit of Swift's Comet" ( Beebe and Phillips, 1891). Professor Phillips in- troduced at Yale on an extensive scale. a system of instruction by the use of mathematical curves and models whereby the principles of the advancel mathematics are brought down to the comprehension of the freshmen and sophomores. He has invented a multitude of models and machines to illustrate a great variety of mathematical operations and principles. Among these may be mentioned a device for the discussion of the general cubic equation, whereby a model is so constructed as to transform one figure of space into an- other and also showing how two figures of space may intersect each other ( AAmerican As- sociation for the Advancement of Science, Rochester. 1892) ; also a machine for trans- forming one stereographic projection of the sphere into any other ( British Association for the Advancement of Science, Montreal. 1884) : also models showing the projection of a defin- ite fourth dimensional figure into a figure of three dimensional space ( Yale Mathematical Club. 1911).
President Hadley in speaking recently of Professor Phillips' work said: "He is one of the few men who has shown a positive genius

for teaching. He combined a great enthusiasm for his own subject with an almost unique power of appreciating the difficulties of those who knew less about it than he did. He was fertile in illustrative expedients which enabled most boys to appreciate mathematics from at least one side, and inspired a few of them to look at it from all sides. This was not charac- teristic of his mathematical teaching alone; it ran through his whole life. He cared for the person with whom he was dealing even more than for the thing he was trying to do. Every one felt this, and this was why men worked for him and cared for him."
Professor Phillips completed in June, 1911, fifty-one years of service as a teacher. Ilis resignation as Professor of Mathematics and Dean of the Graduate School was accepted by the Yale corporation. He was made Pro- fessor Emeritus, and the following vote was adopted by the corporation :
L'oted, to adopt the following minute with reference to the resignation of Dean Phillips :
"The Corporation wishes to record its deep appreciation of the services of Professor An- drew Wheeler Phillips, who retires at the close of the present year from the position of Dean of the Graduate School.
"Mr. Phillips has been connected with Yale University for forty years. After taking his Bachelor's and Doctor's degrees at Yale. the former in 1873 and the latter in 1877, he has held successively the positions of Tutor. . is- sistant Professor of Mathematics, Professor of Mathematics, and for the past sixteen years the important post of Dean of the Graduate School.
"The Corporation is mindful of the many services which Dean Phillips has rendered as an inspiring teacher of undergraduates, as Sec- retary of the College Faculty. as the successful head of one of the most important schools of the University and as the Corporation's repre- sentative in the raising of the fund for the erection of the Bi-Centennial buildings.
"His loval devotion to the University has heen an inspiration to all who have known him and the Corporation desires to place on record its sense of appreciation of what his character, spirit and work have meant to V'ale."
Professor Phillips married Maria Scoville. daughter of Rev. Peter G. Clarke. chaplain of United States navy. She died February 22, 1895.
The Rembert family is of REMBERT French Huguenot stock. The progenitor was among the early settlers of South Carolina, coming
thither, according to family tradition. from Canterbury, England, whither the family went for refuge after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, late in the seventeenth century. In 1790 the first federal census shows that the descendants of the immigrant were then numerous in the Camden district of Clare- mont county, South Carolina. Abijah Rem- bert had a family of three sons under sixteen and five females, and held eleven slaves : James had three sons under sixteen, four females, and had thirty slaves. E. Rembert and John Rembert also lived in this county: Joachim Rembert in the Georgetown district of Prince Frederick parish : and Jacob Rembert also in South Carolina. Most of them appear to be well-to-do planters.
( I ) Raphael, son of one of the Remberts mentioned above and grandson or great- grandson of the immigrant ancestor, lived in Georgetown county, South Carolina, and was a cotton planter.

Robert II., died at age of ten years. 4. Herbert. was murdered by a negro whom he employed in 1884. 5. Florine S .. born 1866, died at age of thirty years, 6. Mary, died 1906.
( III) John Raphael, eldest child of Stephen and Sarah Laura (Hiddleston ) Rembert, was born at Wallingford. Conecticut, July 30. 1853. He attended the public schools of his town and of New Haven, and upon the completion of his education was a clerk in a stationery business until he had attained the age of twenty years. In 1873 he went into business for himself, and in 1898 he formed the firm of John R. Rembert & Company, in a sta- tionery store on State street. New Haven. In this venture they were uniformly suc- cessful, and the business has enjoyed a con- stantly growing popularity. In politics Mr. Rembert entertains independent opinions and he is a member of the Protestant Episcopal

(I ) Sir John Mansfield. Knight, was mayor of Exeter, England. also master of the sur- vey under Queen Elizabeth.
( II) Richard, son of Sir John Mansfield, died January 10. 1655. He was one of the first settlers in New Haven and ancestor of almost all the Connecticut Mansfields. of many in the state of New York, and of some in the south and west. He came from Exeter, Devonshire. England, and settled in Quin- nipiack in 1639, as shown by deeds of land from James Marshall. of Exeter. England, which are in the New Haven Land Records. vol. i. He owned a number of other parcels of land. but only erected a sort of cellar, part- ly in the ground, with a thatched roof, which kind of dwellings were used by the most repre- cntative inhabitants during the first few years of their life in this country. In the schedule of the list of the first planters he is put down at f400-thirty acres in the First Di- vision, six acres in the "Neck." twenty-two acres of meadow and eighty-eight in the Sec- ond Division. About this time it is sup- posed he established his farm and built his large dwelling house and farm accommoda- tions at a place called the "East Farms." about four and a half miles out on the pres- ent North Haven road, where he spent the remainder of his life. Governor Theophilus Eaton administered the oath of fidelity to
Richard Mansfield at the general court at New Haven, July 1, 1644. in the list of the one hundred and twenty-three first grantees of New Haven he has "Mr." affixed to his name, with only seven others in the whole list with that honor.

A part of the inscription on his monumental table is as follows: "Here lyeth interred the body of Major Moses Man -- field, Assist .. Aged 63." Major was the high- est military title at that time, and for defeat- ing a body of Indians in the time of King Philip's war. about where the town of Mans- field! is situated, the town was named after him.
