Philip Rounsevill emigrated to America from Honetun, in Devonshire County, England, about the year 1700, being then near 23 years of age. He was by trade a clothier or cloth dresser, but by practice a shrewd schemer ; and keen calculations and singular foresight enabled him to accumulate a larger property than that acquired by his neighbors. He not only had the faculty to get, but also to keep ; for he was patient, self-denying and exceedingly obstiuate, and 60 years of almost unprecedented success made him not a little purse-proud, arbitrary and overbearing. Such unlimited confidence did he repose in himself and such contempt for every body else, that his children, now advanced to the age of three score, were to his mind still in their nonage in the ability to manage property, and no division of his property or power would he make with any of them. They must wait till after his death, and all must keep upon their good behavior, or " King Philip " (as his neighbors nicknamed him) would cut them off with a shilling at last. William Rounsevill, eldest son of Philip, had died when his daughter Elizabeth was little more than five months old. When, therefore, Job Peirce became the husband of Elizabeth Rounsevill, it was expected that he would be extremely careful to humor all the whims of her austere grandfather, in the hope that his wife might be handsomely provided for in the Will of that man whose perverseness had ever kept his family under such long and degrading surveillance. The young wife is still at her grandfather's, and the old gentleman, who is evidently pleased with her husband, astonishes the neighbors by the liberality of his expenditure for the beautiful furniture he has procured as the outfit for the granddaughter. The day is set when the house-keeping of the youthful pair shall commence, and Job Peirce sends an old-fashioned, long bodied ox cart to take to their new house the first load of furniture. When the cart was loaded and ready to start, Philip Rounsevill thus addresses the young husband :? " The furniture upon this cart is mine, and I loan it to you for the use of your wife, my granddaughter." " Indeed," says the young man, with mock gravity, " indeed, you surprise me; now let me return your favor by surprising you equally as much. I am unwilling to borrow anything of you, nor will I; " and, suiting his action to the words, stepped to the forward end of the cart, and raised it till the tailbridge rested on the ground, then starting the team drove on till the last article of furniture had tumbled from the cart and lay scattered upon the ground ; then turning to his bride, he said; " Come, let us go home, I didn't borrow you."

Philip married Mary Howland. [Group Sheet]
