I can supply some answers on the Mason family of Massachusetts and New York as I have a very extensive genealogy of the Mason family which was handed down to me from my great grandmother, Amy Mason Thomas, wife of Briggs Thomas and daughter of Isaac Mason and his wife Hannah Martin Mason who resided at Warren, N. Y. about 1807 and lat-
er raised a large family. These re- ! cords were compiled by Philip Ma- son and published in 1868 and I pre- sume are very scarce.

Leavitt Coat of Arms
One of the most ancient of the several coats-of-arms of the Leavitt or Levitt family and the one used by the "descendants of John Leavitt (1) of Hingham, Mass .; also by "The Na- tlonal Association of Leavitt Faml- lies" is as follows: -
A demi-lion, ar; ducally crowned, or, gorged with a collar, az, in dexter a cross crosslet, fltched, sa; sinlster resting on an esutcheon, of the third, charged with a fleur-de-lls, gold.
Motto
"Mens Conscia Recti"
A Mind Conscious of Rectitude The name of Leavitt is believed to have been of Norman extraction but Its meaning is not clear. It is thought probable that it was the name of the place at which the first bearer of the surname resided. It Is found on ancient English and early American records in the various forms of Lyvet, Lavet, Levett, Levit,
Leavit, Leavitt, Leavet, Levitt of which the Leavitt and Levitt are the most popular form of the name to- day, although the original form. seems to have been Levett.
It Is generally supposed that the ¡ original ancestor of the English fam- ily of this name was one of the fol- lowers of William the Conqueror' in the Norman invasion of England in 1066 and that he settled in the Coun- ty of York and founded the parent Ilne of the famlly from which the branches which were to be found at early dates in the counties of. Staf- ford, Sussex, Lincoln and Wilts were descended.

PHILLIPS FAMILY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY

(Allied families include Allibone. Bigelow, Cady, Cargill, Clark, De- Witt, Eva, Hall, Harrison, Hayes, Hirons, Hollister, Houseman, Hurst, Irving, Jaffray, King, Landreth, Mc- Vicher, Moor, Peddle, Schuler, Shul- er, Stockton, Symington, Taber, Til- ton, Todd, Vandeveer, Van Dusen, West, Wirt, Wurtz and Woodruff.
INTRODUCTION
At various times, during the last six or seven years, I have had occa- sion to be called in to solve various difficult, and hopeless problems, on the Phillips family, both in New Jer- sey, New York and elsewhere. . The ancestry of the Rev. William Wirt Phillips, still lies in the realm of possibility, and conjecture, with the need of proofs paramount .. However, the offer of the Enterprise and News to print such data, as I have collect- ed, will at least preserve much that is new, interesting, and valuable on the life of this famous man, born in Florida, N. Y .; show at least some of his descendants, many of whom are prominent in business, social, pro- fessional, yes, even diplomatic life, as for instance Mrs. J. Borden Harri- man, U. S. Minister to Norway in 1940 . Among the intermarriages and allied families are to be found such good old names as Allibone, Bigelow, Cady, Cargill, Clark, DeWitt, Eva, · (Goetchius ?,) Hall, Harriman, Hayes, Hirons, Hollister, Houseman, Hurst, Irving, Jaffray, King, Landreth, Mc- Vickar, Moore, Peddle, Schuler, Shui- er, Stockton, Symington, Taber, Til- ton, Todd, VanDerveer, Van Dusen, (Werts, Wirt, Wurtz ?,) and Wood- ruff.
The scope of this work is limited. It is not a complete family history, no effort was made to collect person- al data, or vital records from de- Iscendants. My activities as will be shown, were chiefly concerned with establishing the relationship of Rev. William Wirt Phillips, with the Phil- lips of Lawrenceville, N. J. and to do this local family tradition had to be weighed, balanced, and discarded, in part, at least. This has opened up new fields of possibilities and re- search, and it is hoped that my find-
Rev. Wm. Wirt Phillips
ings will serve as a stimulant to further work and hope, on the part of others.
Before proceeding let me express my deep appreciation to those who have aided in the collection of some of this data: Miss Frances H. Lan- dreth, Bristol, Pa., for sending me a two page outline of the descendants "Phillips of Mohawk Valley;" Union Theological Seminary, Broadway and 120 St., N. Y. C .; Miss Florence P. Weiss (Ch. Secty) First Presby- terian Church, 12 W. 12 St., New York City for her courtesy in sup- plying certified copies (from the church register) of the baptisms of Rev. William Wirt Phillips children; Mrs. Edna L. Jacobsen (Head) and Miss Marion P. Wiltse (Asst.) of Manuscripts N. Y. State Library, Al- bany, N. Y .; Mrs. Wm. J. Lindenber- ger, 1201 Greenwich street, San Fran- ·cisco, Calif., for her searching the In- dex file compiled by Henry Byron Phillips; Ralph David Phillips, 76 Charles street, New York city, Re- formed church in America, 156 5th avenue, New York City; Presbyter- ian Historical Society, Philadelphia, Pa .; Mrs. Edward W. Shineman, 122 Cliff street, Canajoharie, N. Y .; and Mrs. Lillian J. Van Dusen, local gen- ealogist, Fonda, N. Y
This is an imposing list and if the data falls short, if you have added, subtracted, multiplied on an error in figures and you cannot trace back ancestry, if there is a flaw in the information, family tradition, and printed data, given the genealogist to work on

PHILLIPS FAMILY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY
(Continued from last week) REV. WM. WIRT PHILLIPS Of Montgomery County (An endeavor to establish the an- cestry and connections of Rev. Wil- liam Wirt Phillips of New' York, N. Y.)
By Robert Furman, M. D., (Historian-Genealogist)
MY START-The only thing I had to begin my work with, was a Bible entry, made by John Van Cleve Phil- lips-
"The Rev. William Phillips, dis- tinguished divine of New York City, was second cousin of my father."
Mr. A. V. Phillips, Boston, Mass. (family historian) wrote me under date of June 11, 1941:
"The point of this is that the Rev. William of my father's Bible in order to be a second cousin of William Ti- tus Phillips, born 1789, must have been a great grandson either of Wil- liam Phillips, born 1702 or his broth- er Theophilus Phillips, born 1695 and we do not know that either one of them had such a great grandson."
However, the Phillips background of William Titus Phillips, is and was by no means as simple, as above out- lined. For this man had two lines of Phillips descent, his father Thomas Phillips 5, having married his cousin Catherine Phillips, 5. Then, William Titus Phillips, . married Martha Van Cleve, a granddaughter of Penelope | Phillips or still another Phillips line, and the above "cousinship" may well have been through any one of these three Phillips lines.

would have become too complicated,
almost equal to our Treasury fig- ures.
Montgomery County Phillips: there were several families of Phillips among the early settlers, some of whom were not related. In order to line up the ancestry, and connections of Rev. William Wirt Phillips, it was necessary to compile all the records available, over the important period, then to separate the data, into fam- ily groups. This I did, and much of the data appears later, under mis- cellaneous records.
Miss Frances Hamilton Landreth under date of July 20, 1941, "Mo- hawk Valley Phillips," I quote as follows:'
"Cornelius Phillips, wife's name not known, killed at the Battle of Oriskany 6th August 1776 (should be 1777) William, his son was called but as he had a wife and children his father took his place."
Lee's History of Mercer County, N. J. states, page 74:
"William, father of Dr. William Wirt Phillips was drafted into the American Army in the Revolutionary War, but being a married man and having the care of a farm, his fath- er Cornelius, as a substitute went as a private in the Continental Army under General Herkimer and was killed at the Battle of Oriskany near Rome, N. Y. August 16, 1774."
I found that both these statements, were variations of the account which appears in the History of Montgom- ery County, N. Y. Beers, page 116, published in 1878.
"Cornelius Phillips, killed in the Battle of Oriskany, Revolutionary war. Owned a farm which passed to his son William Phillips, who in turn handed it down to his son Cor- nelius, on whose death, in 1865, it fell to his son, A. C. Philips."
Analysis of Family Tradition: Tak- ing the salient points out of the above we have:
1. Cornelius Phillips, is stated to have been grandfather of Rev. Wil- liam Wirt Phillips, and father of William who married Hannah House- man .. . That much, and no more, I be- lieve to be correct.
2. William Phillips, "son of Cor- nelius, who was killed in the Battle of Oriskany, was called but as he had a wife and children, his father took his place."

BLY, RATHBONE, TEFFT,
SERVICE FAMILIES
William Bly who came from Cov- ington, R. I. in 1792 settled near his brother Joseph Bly in the Hurricane section of the Royal Grant. I well remember his old house and played in it many times. It was a short dis- tance from the school house down the Norway road, toward the Hurri- cane Brook. It was a one story and attic and the boards on the outside ran up and down with a battan over the cracks. Whether this was his first house or not we do not know, but there it nestled among the rose, and lilac bushes, part of what was his home in days of long ago. One large- room inside, with a recess for the bed, a small one story on the back, . probably a woodshed, a partition across the attic, one part for the boys and one for the girls, and a lad- der In each corner to get up. No trace was left of any fireplace with its stone hearth, chimney, well or- barn. Four hooks were in the ceiling for poles to hang things on to dry, and believe it or not it did not need" aid conditioning, in its younger days, as it had plenty of it. Gone is our old play house of school days but not forgotten. I do not know who built the Bly house on the Cold Brook road. but it was still standing in 1y40 ..
William Bly was the son of Benja- mine Bly and Johanna .... and born in R. I. in 1765. He married Miss Rathbone before coming to the Roy- al Grant. Sorry we do not know her: parents' name or place of birth. She: may have been the sister of Tom? Rathbone who married Elsie Ann: Cooper and settled on the East Jer -- seyfield road but no proof of it. The: only issue of this marriage was one son Benjamine. When or where he: was born or what became of him I. do not know. His mother Miss Rath -- bone died at this time and William- married for his second wife Isabelle Tefft of Remsen, N. Y. They were. the parents of seven children, three. sons and four daughters: William T_ Bly, Harvey Bly, Joseph Bly, Polly- Bly, and three other daughterss whose names we do not know.
William T. Bly was born Jan. 20, 1812. He entered Madison University and was ordained a Baptist minister- in Sept., 1840. He married in 1839; Elizabeth R. Miller and went to Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Min -- nesota, LaGrange, Comstock, Kala -. mazoo County, Mottsville, St. Joseuh, County, Valpariso, Ind. Washington; Ill.,. Berwick, Oquawaka, etc. (Eldéru William T. Bly from the first half : Century of Madison University, nowy Colgate.)
.
(From New York Gazetteer, Chen- ango county, page 297. William T. Bly taught the first school at Linck- laen.)
Harvey Bly the second son of Wil- liam and Isabelle Bly was born at. Bergen, N. Y. in 1804, probably when his mother was on a visit there as we find no record of the William Bly family ever living there. Harvey pro- bably Ived in the Town of Norway, N. Y. until May 10th, 1837 when he married Amanda E. Simons at Le- Roy, N. Y. The witnesses were A. E. Wilcox and Uriah Compton. After marriage they went to the State of Indiana and later to Ohio where they settled on an 80 acre tract of land where he died in his 89th year. He
