I descend from Philemon PHILLIPS. I have it that he was born in Chirbury in 1715, christened in Chirbury on March 10, 1716, then emigrated to Dorchester County, Maryland where he died in 1767.

I have it also that his father was Richardi PHILLIPS who was born in Chirbury in 1690 and where he married Jane OWENS on June 13, 1715.

If there is any more information on this line, I would very much like to have it.

Cy,

Do you subscribe to the Findmypast website? If so you will find many individuals with surname of Phillips and Philips who were born, married or died in Chirbury simply by searching on 1700+/-40 years. Philemon appears there baptised in 1715, and also a Philemon buried in 1728 but no age given. Most of the records are post-1700 although some pre-1700. I could not find baptism of Richard, but his marraige to Jane in 1715 is there.

 

The website has images of the original Parish Registers but generally give no detail other than name, date and event.

Regards

Phil Poole

PS I was born in Chirbury, but don't have any Phillips in my family as far as I've been able to trace.
