Elizabeth Jewson was baptized November 29, 1612, in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, England.^[4] She is the daughter of Richard Jewson and Elizabeth Kipping.

Elizabeth married Nicholas Phillips June 26, 1631, in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, England.^[5] It seems likely that they had children immediately with one or two born in Wendover.^[6]

Nicholas and Elizabeth emigrated to America sometime before Nicholas and his brothers, Henry and Martin, signed the covenant at Dedham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony on August 18, 1636.^[7] He was granted 12 acres of land there on the same day.

Nicholas and Elizabeth moved the family to Weymouth, still in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, probably in late 1639 or 1640.^[8]

In January 1644, the First Congregational Church was organized with Rev. Thomas Thacher as pastor. Rev. Thacher was well received and remained as pastor for the next twenty years. Nicholas became Deacon at this church sometime before he was called "Deacon Phillips" on February 8, 1660.^[9]

On the 11th day of the 6th month 1651, Elizabeth gave her consent for Nicholas to sell a house and several parcels of land to Francis Smith of Hingham.^[10]

Elizabeth (Jewson) Phillips died sometime before June 2, 1671, in Weymouth.^[11]

Children of Nicholas and Elizabeth

Phillips mentions Elizabeth Phillips as the eldest child without citing any source. She is thought to have died in England or shortly after arriving in America. Phillips also offers birth dates for the younger children "from other sources" (also uncited). From Will-Phillips-140 (below) Richard is named as "eldest son" and Alice as "eldest daughter". Alice is also named one of the "six younger children" (out of seven). So Richard is eldest surviving child on 2 Jun 1671. The birth date for Alice was given (in this profile) as 24 Feb 1631 without source, but that seems unlikely. Need a source. Perhaps Richard was born out of wedlock? First two children born in Wendover, England? As Caleb is not listed in the will, he is presumed to have died prior to June 2, 1671 (when the will was dated). Phillips argues that Caleb's birth date is "almost certainly" November 22, 1638 but not say why. The birth date for Experience was given (in this profile) as 8 May 1641. If this is true, then Nicholas and Elizabeth went 5 years in America without a child. Chamberlain in Volume 2, page 947, says that Experience and Caleb were born in Weymouth in 1641 and 1643 and refers to Joshua as the eldest (which must be a mistake).
