According to the Pham family genealogy of Dong Tram village, Pham Nhu Duc was the fifth son of the famous general Pham Ngu Lao, originally from Thua Tuyen Hai Duong , now Hung Yen province. Pham Nhu Duc had great contributions in assisting the Ho Dynasty in expanding the territory to the south and was appointed as the Chief of the Military Region of Thang Hoa.

The name of Pham Nhu Duc is associated with the formation and development of Dong Tram village in particular and the whole southern region of Quang Nam . He is considered the ancestor of the Pham family in Quang Nam. In 1409, he died and was buried in Dong Tram village (now in Huong An town).

Later, when Lord Nguyen Phuc Tan came to guard the land of Quang Nam, he remembered his merits by establishing a temple, building a tomb and posthumously awarded him the title of Phu Quoc Cong.
