Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Fiske Wood

Phineas Jakeways (1750–1826) was old enough to fight, but there is no record of him serving during the Revolution. Few details of his life are known. But he was a weaver, and perhaps his trade was valuable enough to allow him to continue during the war. He may have been one of many who merely tried to survive. Undamaged by war, Phineas’ suit is a rare survivor of a civilian’s clothing.
