Excerpt from Adventures of an Army Nurse in Two Wars The first New England Phinney, John, came to Cape Cod about nine years after the landing of the Pilgrims, and settled in what is now the town of Scituate. His son John married Mary Rogers, granddaughter to that Thomas Rogers who was a passenger on the first Mayflower voyage and a signer of the Compact. In the third genera tion from them was a Benjamin Phinney who, since he removed to Granville, Nova Scotia, in 1774, and did not return until 1786, it is fair to presume was a Tory. This suspicion is deepened by the fact that he did not come back to F almouth, where he was born, but to Lexington, at that time remote enough from Cape Cod to escape any pos sible lingerings of local animosity.
