Anna Hunt died on 6 February 1681/82 at Newtown, Queens, New York.1,3,4
Children of Anna2 Hunt (3) and Theophilus Phillips (112) were as follows:
- 8 i. Anna3 Phillips (113) was born on 9 Dec 1670. She died after 1689.
- + 9 ii. Theophilus Phillips (114) was born on 15 May 1673. He married Frances _____ (526). He died in Apr 1709 at Maidenhead Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, at age 35.

- + 11 iv. Phillip Phillips (116) was born on 27 Dec 1678 at Newtown, Queens County, Long Island, New York. He married Hannah Stockton (542), daughter of Richard Stockton (2063) and Abigail (--?--) (2064), circa 1701. He married Elizabeth Hunt (15), daughter of Samuel Hunt (8) and Mary _____ (9), in 1710. He died on 30 Aug 1740 at Maidenhead, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, at age 61. His estate was probated on 3 Nov 1740.
Theophilus Phillips had two brothers, Joseph and Daniel, residing in Newtown, and a sister who married Capt. Henry Mayle of the Island of Nevis, and afterwards of this town. They are supposed to have been grand- children of the Rev. George Phillips, first minister of Watertown, Mass. Mr. Phillips, first named, filled various public stations, and was town clerk for twelve years prior to his death, on Jan. 26th, 1689. He was a highly useful man. He was thrice married, and by his first wife, Anna, daughter of Ralph Hunt, had three sons, to wit, Theophilus, born May 15th, 1673 ; William, born June 28th, 1676, who in 1698 became a freeman of New-York; and Philip, born Dec. 27th, 1678, who, with Theophilus, removed to what is now I,awrence township, in Mercer county. New Jersey, of which place their descendants are now among the most respectable inhabitants.

p.85 Hunt, Theophilus Phillips Ralph Hunt was a useful citizen, as the records abundantly prove. He served long as a town surveyor, and as an overseer ; and during the reOccu- pation by the Dutch, held the office of schepen, or magistrate. He died early in 1677, leaving sons Ralph, Edward, John, and Samuel, and daughters Ann and Mary — the former then the wife of Theophilus Phillips. Of the sons, Ralph and Samuel settled in Jamaica. John was a magistrate in Newtowrt for some years, and left a son Ralph, and perhaps others. Edward became a man of estate, and died in Newtown in 1716, having five sons, and as many daughters — to wit: Edward, born February 4th, 1684; Richard, Ralph, Tho- mas, Jonathan, Sarah, Martha, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Abigail. The two sons last named continued in Newtown, but Edward and Richard settled in Hunterdon county. New Jersey. Of some one branch of this family, early transferred from Long Island to New Jersey, was Oliver Hunt, the grand* father of Col. George W. Hunt, of White Pot.
p.96 The events just recited did not prevent a due attention to public concerns of a more pacific nature. At a meeting of the town court on March 29th, 1676, and in consequence of a recent requisition of the court of assize, Theophilus Phillips was chosen to the ofiice of packer^ to inspect all provisions put up in the township for exportation ; this being the first appointment of this kind in the town. At an annual town meeting, which took place on the day succeeding the last men- tioned date, James Way, of the English Kills, a professed Quaker, was elected to the office of overseer. This affords evidence that the staid and sober portion of that sect enjoyed.

But, as every one consulted his convenience as to the time of taking possession of and improving his quota of land, the first allotment appears not to have been wholly taken up till 1678. During this year a considerable distribu- tion was made. Early in the spring, the fresh meadow land lying on the west side of the village, and called Smith's Mea- dow, was laid off into lots and apportioned to nine or ten in- dividuals. Late in the season Trains Meadow, which hitherto had also lain in common, was divided into thirty one lots of various sizes, and distributed among the freeholders. And the same year fifty acres of land in Foster's Neck, on " the highway which goes to the salt meadows," were "sequestered and appropriated to and for the use of the minister of said town and his successors for ever." These surveys were per- formed by Jonathan Hazard and Theophilus Phillips, the town surveyors. But these several appropriations were un- equal to the increasing demand; and on Sept. 13th, 1679, it was resolved to have "a second division of the town's land." This allotment was made at the rate of two acres to a shil- ling purchase right.
p.100 On the publication of these laws, the people of Newtown testified their high gratification by seasonable measures to carry them into efiect. On Jan. 15th, 1684, they elected Jonathan Hazard, Gershom Moore, and Samuel Moore, "com- missioners, to sit as a town court, to try all causes of diffe- rence between man and man, as shall come before them." Two days after, the commissioners appeared before Justice Elias Doughty, and took the oath of office, at which time also, Theophilus Phillips was chosen clerk of the court and mar- shal.' By a law passed Nov. 4th, 1685, the jurisdiction of this court was extended to causes of £5, or under, and to be in force seven years and no longer, but before the expiration of this period, the court of commissioners had ceased to exist.

In the meantime the Kev. Jones having for a year " honest- performed his part " at Staten Island, had met with the same discouragements there which he experienced at Newtown. The French and Dutch inhabitants were averse to paying a minister whose language they could not understand. Some of them, as a pretext for non-payment, even tried to impugn Mr. Jones' character. They declared him a man of "ill-life and conver- sation." But this was rebutted by Justice Still well on behalf of the English. He had never heard of it ; Mr. Jones had been recommended by Sir Edmund Andross, and a majority
