Obituary-ALCOTT Phillip.jpg

Phillip Alcott, or Alcock, as it was then spelled, was born about 1648 in Dedham, Massachusetts. He was the son of Thomas and Margery Alcock. The family moved to Boston, where his father died in 1657. His mother then married John Benham of New Haven and moved to that city with her children. On December 5, 1672, in New Haven, Phillip married Elizabeth, the only daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Mitchell. Phillip was a successful man and owned a large estate in New Haven on the north side of what is now George Street, between College & Temple. He also owned land in other Connecticut towns. Phillip and Elizabeth had five children. Elizabeth died before 1699 and Phillip married Sarah, the widow of Nathaniel Butler that year in Wethersfield. Phillip died in New Haven in 1716 at 68 years.
