81 (Q)T/
~ ELMO SCOTT WATSON
A Presidents Pirate Ancestor

TT is doubtful If Willard Fillmore
4 thirteenth President Of the United
States, ever boosted of the fact that
his great-grandfather was pirate, yet
such is the truth of the matter. II
must be said In extenuation, however,
that John Fillmore was pirate
against his wishes, and that as soon
as possible, he got out of the pirating
business, and that under rather excit-
Ing circumstances. 1t is also to his
credit that in getting out of the BUSH
ness he helped put an end to the ca
reer of Capt. John Phillips, pirate OF
the Atlantic coast.
John Fillmore was a native of
Ipswich, Mass, and member of the
crew of the Dolphin, commanded by
Capt. Andrew Harden of Cape Ann,
when that ship was captured by the
pirate Captain Phillips while fishing
for cod off the banks of Newfound.
land. Phillips seems to have had
particular grudge against New Eng
land vessels. On one occasion, so the
story goes, he took ship, the master
of which was saint" of New Eng
land, named Dependence Ellery, who
gave the pirates long chase before
being overtaken. AS punishment
Phillips forced the saint" to dance
until he fell down exhausted
After the capture of the Dolphin,
Phillips compelled Captain Harden,
young Fillmore and another young
man, Edward Cheesman, to become
pirates against their will and take part
in many robbery on the high seas.
But the three fishermen had little
stomach for such deeds, and they be-
gan plotting either to escape from the
pirates clutches or capture the vessel
and bring him and his crew to justice.
Their chance came one day late in
April, 1924, when they discovered
Phillips on deck with only two of his
men near by. Quick as a flash they
sprang upon the three pirates, killed
two of them forthwith, tripped up
Captain Phillips and tossed him over
board. Then they sprang into the hold
below where the remainder of the crew
were loafing, covered them with pis-
tolls and put them in chains. They
were masters of the ship now and they
quickly set sail for Boston, where they
arrived on May 8. The pirate crew
was turned over to the authorities
who, upon evidence offered by the
three "mutineers," hanged two of the
pirates whose records were particu-
larly black. Fillmore and his COM
the piracies they had been forced to
help commit and besides were highly
praised for their daring in Kidding the
coast Of the blood-thirsty Captain
Phillips.
