PHELPS The surname Phelps is a varia- tion of the spelling of the name Phillips, meaning son of Philip, in the case of the original ancestor using it. The spelling of the surname has been varied and a number of well established family names are traced to the same origin. One branch of the Phelps family, however, claims to be of the Guelph family of Germany to which Queen Victoria belonged, but no proof of record has been found to establish the claim. Some
branches of the American family of Phelps are descended from the ancient family of Tewksbury, Gloucestershire, England. Among them is the family mentioned below. The ancient coat-of-arms is described as follows : Sable lion chained and rampant. Various branches of the English family have their coats-of-arms.
(I) James Phelps was born about 1520 and is supposed to have been a brother of Francis Phylppe, of Nether Tyne, Staffordshire, Eng- land.

He resided for a time in Tewksbury, and his first child, Richard, was baptized in the church there. Soon after this he probably removed to one of the southern counties, as there is no further record of him in Tewksbury. He and his wife, six children, and his brother George, came to New England in the ship, "Mary and John," Captain Squeb, sailing from Plymouth, England, March 20, 1630, and landing at Nantasket, now Hull, May 30, 1630. He settled at Dorchester, and was among the first settlers and founders of that place. He was a prominent inan, and often served on important committees to lay out boundary lines. He applied for admission as a freeman, October 19, 1630, and was admitted soon afterward. He was one of the jury on the first jury trial in New England, November 9, 1630.

At a court held May 1, 1637, Will- iam Phelps presiding, it was ordered that there "shall be an offensive war against the Pequots."

He was a man of property, as shown by the high pew rent that he paid. He subscribed also toward the fund for the poor. Not being able to prove his title and payment for the land he bought of Sehat, an Indian in Windsor, William Phelps paid for it the second time, the legal tender used being wampum. He resided on the road running northerly, a short distance north of the Mill river valley, and he was among those who suffered from the great flood in 1639.

She died in Northampton, Massachusetts, December 6, 1712, and her will was proved there. Nathaniel Phelps resided on the Orton place opposite his. father's homestead, which he purchased of his
brother Samuel. About 1656-57 he removed to Northampton, Masachusetts, and was one of the first settlers there. He was one of the first deacons of the Northampton church, and occupied his homestead forty-three years. The farm was occupied by his descendants until 1835. It comprised the land which was formerly the site of Miss Margaret Dwight's school, and later the College Institute of J. J. Dudley, and which is now Shady Lawn. The old house stood a few rods north of the present house. On February 8, 1679, he and his sons Nathaniel Jr. and William took the oath of allegiance before Major Pynchon, and May II, 1681, he was admitted a freeman.

SAWYER Descendants of William Sawyer, the immigrant ancestor, went from Newbury, Massachusetts, to Maine, in every generation. His son, Will- iam Sawyer, settled in Wells, Maine, and left a numerous posterity. Descendants of other sons settled at Falmouth, now Portland, Maine. Edward Sawyer married, January, 1734, at Falmouth, Abigail Plummer ; Job Sawyer mar- ried there, May 28, 1737, Mehitable Blake; Daniel Sawyer married there, December 15, 1739, Sarah Woodbury: Abraham Sawyer inarried, November 7, 1742, Elizabeth Graffam. The records of marriage of Jeremiah, Samuel, Solomon, Job, Zachariah, Abraham, Anthony, Ebenezer and others follow in the Falmouth records. Isaac and Sarah Sawyer were mar- ried before 1733 and had a family in Falmouth ; Jeremiah, Jacob, Joseph and John Jr. had families born in Falmouth, and we have reason to believe that Isaac, of Falmouth, was an ancestor of Isaac Sawyer mentioned below. The deficient record of Falmouth and other Maine towns in which the family located make
it impossible at the present time to complete the record of the family to the immigrant ancestor, William Sawyer. According to the federal census of 1790 seven heads of families of this surname were then living in Falmouth : Merrill, Isaac, Obadiah, Benjamin, Anthony, Thomas, Zachariah.
(I) Isaac Sawyer, probably the sixth in descent from William Sawyer, a sketch of whom appcars in this work, was born about 1802 in what is now Auburn, Maine. He was educated in the common schools, and learned the tradc of blacksmith. Early in life he estab- lished his shop at Hallowell, where he made chains, bolts and other iron used in ship-build- ing and equipment. He was industrious and skillful and had a large business for his day, employing a number of journeymen. He was a man of fine intellect and physique and much inventive genius. Had he patented his devices he might have been wealthy. One of the most valuable was a method of introducing hot air from the forge to create a draft necessary for heating heavy iron. He was highly respected by his townsmen and had more than local fame as the "honest blacksmith" of Hallowell. He died at Augusta, Maine, in 1868. He mar- ried, at Hallowell, Diana R. Gaubert, born at Bowdoinham, Maine, about 1804, died at an advanced age, daughter of Nicholas Gaubert, who was a nobleman by birth, a native of Marseilles, France, who came to this country when nineteen years old to complete his edu- cation in New Orleans, where he later married a girl of French parentage and settled in Rich- mond, Maine, where both died. Children: I. Margaret, born in Hallowell, Maine, married David Goodwin, of Dresden, Maine. 2. Kath- erine, married Henry Winslow, a contractor and builder of Augusta, Maine. 3. Mary Jane, married Joseph Patterson, a prominent mer- chant of that city, once mayor. 4. Robert, died in Nantucket, Massachusetts ; a tailor by trade, at one time postmaster of Lancaster, New Hampshire; married Nancy Moore, of Hallowell ; both now deceased. 5. Isaac Jr., a blacksmith by trade; drowned on a trip to California when in middle life. 6. William, a blacksmith by trade ; dicd in Somerville, Mass- achusetts, where he was employed many years ; marricd Hannah Lord. 7. George A., men- tioned bclow. 8. Twin, born June 16, 1826, died in infancy. 9. Franccs, married Alden Buttrick, of Lowell, Massachusetts, a promi- nent grocer of that city. 10. Hannah, married Captain Isaac Smith, a shipmaster of Hallo-
I 380

well, Maine, where both died. II. Diana R., married Captain Jonas Smith, a prominent master mariner of Maine.
(II) George A., son of Isaac Sawyer, was born in Hallowell, Maine, June 16, 1826. He attended the district schools of his native town. He was ambitious to make his mark, and at the age of eighteen left home and began a mercantile career as clerk in the well known establishment of Haskell & Howland, dealers in dry goods. According to the custom of that day he was apprenticed for a term of years, and his wages were fifty dollars the first year, one hundred the second year and one hundred and fifty the third year. By 1847 he was receiving three hundred dollars a year a: clerk in the store of George Hill & Company, corner of West and Washington streets, where he continued for the next ten years. The firm removed to Summer street and took the name of Chandler & Company, under which it is still doing busi- ness and enjoying an extensive trade. It was the first dry goods house to locate on Summer street. By rigid economy Mr. Sawyer saved a modest sum of money with which he estab- lished himself in business in 1857, a men's furnishing store at the corner of Washington and Franklin streets as partner in the firm of Merriam, Sawyer & Company. A few years later he took the advice of friends and unwisely decided to sell his business and settle in Cali- fornia. His affairs did not prosper in Cali- fornia and he soon returned to Boston and with the remainder of his capital made a new start in the men's furnishing business in a store on Washington street between West street and Temple place. His trade grew rapidly and he soon found it wise to move to larger quarters, at the south corner of Tremont and Winter streets, 129 Tremont street, the present loca- tion. He built up one of the largest and most substantial concerns in this line of business. Since 1907 the store has been conducted by his son, and Mr. Sawyer has been spending his days in a quiet and comfortable way at his beautiful home, 306 Marlborough street, Bos- ton. Mr. Sawyer is well known to the trade as a man of the highest principles and integrity, enterprising, sagacious and upright in business. In religion he is liberal and in politics a Repub- lican. He married, in Boston, July, 1855, Hannah E. Russell, born in Bath, Maine, May 20, 1825, died at her home on Marlborough street in December, 1907, daughter of Jesse Russell, of Bath, Maine, later a provision dealer in Quincy market, Boston. Her mother was Mary ( Robinson ) Russell.
Her father

Boston when about eighty years of age. Chil- dren: 1. Mamie, born in Boston, died unmar- ried at the age of thirty-five, an accomplished, capable young woman. 2. Frederick R., July 17, 1857, mentioned below. 3. George A. Jr., 1869, died in 1895; married Isabella F. Finch, born in Cornell, New York, who since her husband's death has resided with his father and has been to him a most devoted and greatly beloved daughter, especially since the death of his wife and his retirement from business.
(III) Frederick R., son of George A. Sawyer, was born in Boston, July 17, 1857. He received his education in the public and high schools of Boston, and was then asso- ciated with his father in business. He was admitted to partnership in 1888 and after his father retired he became the sole owner of the business, though the old name of the firm is retained. He resides at Center street, Rox- bury. He is a Republican in politics. In relig- ion liberal. He is a member of Boston City Club and Boston Athletic Club. He married, November 6, 1879, in Melrose, Cora Austin, born July 19, 1859, died at her home, June 15, 1895, daughter of John S. and Harriet A. ( Morris) Austin.

He removed to Wenham, where he was living in 1643, and later to Newbury, where he was living the next year, and where he died. He sold his house lot March 24, 1648.
