About Mary Phillips

Also known as Sarah.

Mary Emerson was the daughter of Reverend John Emerson and Ruth Symonds.1 Mary Emerson married Samuel Phillips, son of Reverend Samuel Phillips and Sarah Appleton; 1st m. for Samuel.1

Mary Emerson and Samuel Phillips had fourteen (9 sons and 5 daughters) children.1 Her married name was Phillips.1

From http://www.ourstory.info/library/5-AFSIS/Fuess/school1.html

The eldest surviving son of the minister of Rowley was christened Samuel, after his father. Born March 23, 1657, he became a goldsmith in Salem, married for his first wife Sarah Emerson, daughter of the Reverend John Emerson, of Gloucester, and for his second, Mrs. Sarah (Pickman) Mayfield, and died in 172 at Salem. The most important fact about him is that he was apparently the founder of the family fortune. In turning to trade he broke the tradition which devoted the eldest son to the Christian ministry, but he accumulated wealth which was to benefit his descendants.
