About Rev. Samuel Phillips, of Andover

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

Samuel Phillips, son of the goldsmith of Salem, was born February 17, 1689, and was sent to Harvard College, where he graduated in 1708. For one year he was a schoolmaster at Chebacco (now Essex); during another he preached at Norton --- "very acceptably," it is said. Meanwhile a controversy had arisen in Andover over the location of a new meeting-house. So decided was the difference of opinion that in 1708 a number of members of the church withdrew from its pastor, the Reverend Thomas Barnard, formed a new parish, and constructed a building of their own, occupying it in January, 1710. In this new, or South Parish, meeting-house in Andover, Phillips began to preach on April 30, 1710. On December 12 of the same year, after the prescribed fast had been observed, he received a formal election as minister, at a salary of sixty pounds a year while he remained unmarried and ten pounds in addition "when he shall see reason to marry." Unwilling to assume such a charge while he was so young and untried, he postponed his ordination until October 17, 1711. Soon after be moved into the parsonage, which was erected in 1710 on the southeast corner of what are now School and Central Streets.
