Spencer Phips
Spencer Phips (June 6, 1685 – April 4, 1757) was a British politician in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Born Spencer Bennett, he was adopted by Massachusetts Governor Sir William Phips, whose name he legally took. Phips served for many years in the provincial assembly, and on the governor's council, before receiving an appointment as lieutenant governor in 1732, a post he held until his death. He was twice formally acting governor.
==Life==
Spencer Bennett was born on June 6, 1685 in Rowley, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
His father, David Bennett, was a local physician,〔Gage and Bradford, p. 390〕 and his mother Rebecca's sister Mary was married to Sir William Phips,〔Lounsberry, p. 284〕 who became the first governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay in 1692.〔''An Historic Guide to Cambridge'', p. 82〕〔Lounsberry, p. 245〕 Bennett was adopted by the childless Phips, and formally took his name in 1716.〔 He graduated from Harvard College in 1703 (listed at the top of the class because of the prominence of his family).〔 In 1706 he purchased a large tract of land encompassing much of eastern Cambridge, where he settled. He married Elizabeth Hutchinson in 1707, with whom he had eleven children;〔〔Raimo, p. 143〕 five, one son and four daughters, survived him.〔
In 1713 he was appointed a justice of the peace for Middlesex County, and was also made colonel of a cavalry regiment in the colonial militia. He entered politics in 1721, winning election to the provincial assembly. He was, however, appointed to the governor's council that year, and thus did not take the assembly seat. He served in the council until 1724.〔
