"Capt. James Littlefield had several slaves: Scipio, Sharper, Dinah and Tom. Tom married Phillis, but soon after died. She then married Prime. Prime died. She then took Old Tom." - Bourne, p. 409

Town of Wells marriage records: "1781 March 24th - Primus a Negro & Phillis a Negro servant of the widow Littlefield both of Wells Intend Marriage"

Town of Wells marriage records: "1781 April 26th - Primus & Phillis Negroes"

Remich wrote that "Primas and the younger Phillis" later lived in the Ridge Community. "Cooper" John Mitchell lived on what is now High St. in Kennebunk. "A short distance below Mitchell's, on the south side of the road and perhaps an eighth of a mile therefrom, commences a slight elevation of land which continues for a distance of one-fourth of a mile or more. This has been known for many years as 'N... Ridge.' It derives its name from the fact that between the years 1790 and 1800, about a dozen blacks, who had been held as slaves by citizens of Wells, were emancipated, erected huts and became permanent residents of this ridge, which had probably been granted to them by the town of Wells. Here were Tom and Phiilis(1), Sharper(2), and Hannah Simon, Primas and the younger Phillis, Salem and Peg, Cato, Dinah and others." - Remich, p. 108

It is assumed here that the man Prime whom Bourne said married Phillis, and the man Primus whom the Wells Town records say married Phillis are the same man.
