II. FAMILY OF CASSIUS M. C. PHILLIPS.
CASSIUS MARCELLUS CLAY PHILLIPS, b. in Nelson, July 9, 1861, was the son of Minot Reuben and Caroline E. (Harris) Phillips. He lived in the north-east part of Roxbury, but he used the East Sullivan post office, and attended the meetings of the grange and the church in that village, and was so much identified with the interests of the place that we give a brief sketch of his family. He m., Aug. 14, 1902, Katharine Whitney [Adams] Alden, b. in Palmer, Mass., Oct. 4, 1869 ; dau, of James and Augusta (Cleveland) Adams ; but the legally adopted dau. of Luther Parker and Lydia Ann (Adams) Alden, Mrs. Alden being a sister of James Adams, the father of Mrs. Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips had four ch .: I. Clifford Alden, b. in Roxbury, May 31, 1903; 2. Elizabeth Marteile, b. in Roxbury, Dec. 6, 1904; 3. Albert Whitney, b. in Roxbury, Aug. 9, 1906; d. in Keene, June 12, 1911 ; 4. Helen Caroline, b. in Roxbury, April 3, 1909. Mr. Phillips moved from Roxbury to Keene and lives upon lower Winchester St.
III. DANIEL PHILLIPS.
DANIEL PHILLIPS paid a poll tax in Sullivan in 1809, and a tax upon two cows. He was never an established resident of the town. He owned no
1330
PHILLIPS. - PIERCE.
real estate in town. We cannot discover with what family he was connected. We do not know whether he had any family. The fact that he kept cows renders it probable that he was married. He may have lived at 182. The mother of Mrs. Artemas Stone, who had previously lived at that place, married a Phillips of Fitzwilliam. Mrs. Silas Morse, who subsequently lived at 182, was a dau. of Nathaniel Phillips of Fitzwilliam. At the time indicated, the farm at 182 was owned by the Stone family of Fitzwilliam, and not known to have been occupied. At that time, also, James Phillips, q. v. was living on what was later the Nahum Nims place, at 159. Daniel Phillips may have been some relative of his. We have been unable to trace his genealogy. He was in Sullivan but a year, and there was no marriage, birth, or death in his family, while in town, so far as known.
PIERCE.
I. STEPHEN PIERCE.
STEPHEN PIERCE came to Sullivan, from New Braintree, Mass., in 1808. He bought the place afterwards known as the Joseph Seward place, when the old house, now the ell, was standing upon it, at 99. He paid a resident land tax, 1809-1810. He soon deeded the place to David Emery Boynton, his brother-in-law, but continued to pay a poll tax, 1811-1814. He m., Feb. 15, 1801, Anna Morris, b. at West Woodstock, Conn., July 28, 1775; dau. of Capt. Jonathan and Mary (Skinner) Morris. She was a sister of Mrs. D. E. Boynton, Miss Betsey Morris, and of the mother of Abner Blodgett, who lived at the Boyntons'. She d., March 14, 1822. We have not learned the place. The Pierces had two ch. known to us : I.
