I '' this country who. comine into wealth by inheritanci
men in
.this country who, coming into wealth by inheritance, mar-
riage or good fortune in business, turned to politics as a means
of raising themselves to a position of respect and influence
among their fellows.
Phips, who was born in 1651 in a settlement on Kennebec
River in Maine, was one of 26 children (21 of them sons) of a
gunsmith. He had to earn his keep until he succeeded in marry-
ing a rich widow, years his senior.
This enabled Phips to engage in shipbuilding and other ven-
tures. He got to be what would be a millionaire today by re-
covering gold from a Spanish shipwreck near the Bahamas.
After surrendering some of his gold to persons of influence in
England, Phips obtained an appointment as high sheriff in his
county, and also a knighthood. He was dubbed Sir William Phips,
Baronet, by James II at Windsor Castle, 276 years ago (6-28-
1687).
His being the
first native
American to pos-
sess a British
title, plus the
post of high
sheriff, did not
satisfy Sir Wil-
liam and his
lady. He played
the role of pub-
lic servant and
benefactor until
he was governor
of Massachusetts
and captain-gen-
eral of its mili-
tary forces. He
led these to de-
feat in an expedi-
tion against
French in Cana-
da.
As Governor,
Phips permitted
the trial of 100
persons at Salem
for “witchcraft.”

plugs, keep all flexible extension

fied electricians to install or ex-
tend wiring.
