Richard was made freeman in 1678. He served as town constable ofWeymouth in 1673, and clerk of the market in 1680. Held the rank ofsergeant in 1683, and in 1690 was named ensign.



Richard was probably born in England or soon after his parents arrivedin Massachusetts. He married Mary Packard, a daughter of Samuel andElizabeth Packard, who had settled in nearby Hingham but removed to Weymouth in1653. Richard was elected one of the two constables in town in 1673 andbecame a freeman May 8, 1678. Being chosen a constable, Richard was obviously awell respected citizen. As such, he was chosen to other positions of publictrust. In 1680 he was elected clerk of the market of the town of Weymouth, andthe town provided him with scales and weights so he could carry out hisduties. On November 27, 1682 he was on the committee to decide if the old meetinghouse should be repaired or replaced.The following month a new one wasrecommended.
Richard obviously saw some military duty as in 1683 he was elected, as Sergeant Phillips, as one of the seven Selectmen of town. In 1690 hehad advanced in rank to Ensign, which was between sergeant and lieutenant. Mary died before Richard, and he married the widow Elizabeth Kingman.Richard made his will Oct 27, 1695, and it was proved Dec. 19, 1695. In it were mentioned his wife Elizabeth, grandson Caleb Phillips, his wife'sdaughter Susannah Kingman, eldest son CalebPhillips and his wife Elizabeth ofRoxbury, sons Nicholas, Samuel, and John Phillips, daughter Mary Humphrey, and daughter-in-law Amy Phillips.
