ajor. Of this company, probably including members from several towns, some of the commanders were Cambridge men. When the Governor commenced a journey by land for his other government of New Hampshire, Oct. 15, 1716, he was met by Spencer Phips, Esq., with his Troop of horse, the Sheriff of Middlesex, and other gentlemen of the county, and by them conducted to Harvard College in Cambridge, etc. Boston News Letter, Oct. 22, 1716. Colonel Phips was Lieut.—governor from 1732 until he died in 1757. It is not unlikely that the elder Col. John Vassall may have derived his title from the command of the same company; but I find no definite designation of officers succeeding Colonel Phips until 1771, when his son David Phips was commissioned Captain, and John Vassall Son of the first Col. John Vassall. and Jonathan Snelling Lieutenants, with the rank respectively of Colonel, Lieutenant-colonel, and Major. The military events in and around Cambridge at the commencement of the Revolutio
