Biography
Philip was born in 1711. He is the son of Jonathan and Jane (Walker) Greeley.[1]
He married Hannah Stubbs 27 Mar 1740 at Falmouth.[2]
He was a farmer and lived at North Yarmouth, Me.
He died in 1746.
He was the first person killed in that vicinity (North Yarmouth) at the time of the Indian war. As he was passing early one morning from one garrison house to another (about a mile), he was shot from an ambush. The number of Indians together at this time were supposed to be thirty at least. They had lined the fence by which he had to pass, and would probably have done him no injury at that time, had not his dog discovered them. This discovery frustrated their main design, which was to take the garrison to which he was going as soon as the men who belonged to it had gone out to their work. Philip was killed, but by his death the garrison were notified of the close proximity of the Indians and consequently were saved.[3]
