      Philip Squier who appeared in Ashford CT. in 1714 and married Elizabeth Fuller in 1715 is NOT the Son of Phillip and Rachel
      WHO IS Philip Squier who appeared in Ashford CT. in 1714 and married Elizabeth Fuller in 1715?

      Some HAVE SUGGESTED that he is the son of Philip the brewer and wife Rachel Ruggles born in Boston 20 Mar 1671. It has also been suggested that this son of Philip the brewer had been married twice before he married Elizabeth Fuller #1 a Mary Davis born 1666, by whom he had a daughter Mary born 10 Mar 1687 #2 to Mary Wheeler born 1670 by whom he had a son Thomas born 1694.
      In considering this theory that the Philip who appeared in Ashford Ct. and married Elizabeth Fuller is the son of Philip the Brewer shows red flags to its probability 1- Philip of Boston born 1671 would have become a father at 16, with his wife Mary Davis child born in 1687, 2- Philip of Boston would have been 44 when he married Elizabeth Fuller, who was half his age, and 3- Philip of Boston would have been 63 when his youngest child arrived.
      Further proof that this is an errored theory is found from the Land records in Ashford. We have proof that the Philip who came to Ashford came from Boxford not Boston and this Philip who came to Ashford had a brother Thomas; whereas Philip in Boston did not have a brother named Thomas - thus Philip who came to Ashford could not be the son of Philip the brewer and wife Rachel Ruggles.
      From the land records of Ashford it shows that James Corbin of Woodstock sold 120 acres of land on the 20 April 1714 to “Philip Squier of Boxford, County of Essex husbandman”. The Town of Ashford voted to sell Philip Squire 75 acres on 27 Sept 1717 adjoining his lot and on 27 April 1720 Philip Squier bought 100 acres from Joseph Russ making his total holdings 295 acres according to a re-survey that was made. Also recorded 19 Jul 1720 was a deed were Philip Squier conveyed to “his brother” Thomas Squier” 100 acres.
      This is proof that the Philip who came to Ashford was not from Boston but from Boxford and further the Philip born in Boston in 1671 had no brother Thomas to sell ground to confirming that Philip of Ashford could not have been the son of Philip the brewer and Rachel Ruggles.
      So who then was this Philip who came to Ashford?
      Further research in the vicinity of Boxford is found in the Essex County Quarterly Court Records a warrant dated 17 Dec 1680 that shows a Philip Squire @25 and a Mary Smith @26, both living at the home of William Danforth in Newbury, who testify as witnesses in a court case. Newbury is not far from Boxford. According to Coffin’s History of Newbury, MA there was a Philip Squire who was admitted to membership in a church in Boston in 1676 and later went to Newbury where on 6 Feb 1681/2 he was one of the founders of a small Baptist church.
      Regardless of whether he is correctly identified or not as from Boston, it is clear Philip of Boxford could not be Philip the brewer with wife Rachel Ruggles nor the son of Philip the brewer born to them in 1671.
      It could easily be that he was the same Philip who testified in court in Newbury

      Property note
      by 1771, of course he was dead, too old to farm, but his  heirs [we hope]  got the  land.  Probably those who were quick enough got theirs in the Gallop's Canada grant, before  NH was divided from Massachusetts Bay, that was responsible for the grant. The famous beef between NH and NY that resulted in the state of Vermont meant that while both colonies claimed Vermont, the colony of Mass. Could not pay off on their grant, which was perhaps a promise to get the men to sign onto the militia.
