• Notes

  The exact date that Edward Philpott came to Maryland has not been found. He was born in England around 1597, was in Maryland in 1649 or earlier, and died there in 1678. On September 9, 1667 he made a deposition stating he was age 70 years. On this statement he is said to have been born around the year 1597. (Liber C folio 212, 237-240 Md. Arch. Vol. 60 (1666-1674 pp 91, 199- 102.) Other depositions, however, state his age differently. In 1662, he received a patent to 100 acres of tidewater land in Maryland Province from Lord Baltimore II. He was a "Carpenter" by trade. The word "carpenter" in the 1600s is the same as what we call an architect today. This would classify him as a fine workman, in that field of service. He is declared also to be a wheelwright and in 1662 was recognized as a Planter by the officials in the Province of Maryland. To be a Planter was an aspiration of the early settlers of that section. He settled in Old Charles County, Maryland, near the Patuxent River. He married Bridgett, whose surname has never been learned. It is assumed they were married in Maryland sometime between 1657 and 1659. She did not sign a deed that was signed by Edward, dated January 18, 1657, but was listed to testify for Capt. Jenkins at Court on November 14, 1659. These references prove that they were married between 1657 and 1659 and along with deeds on purchases of land it is known that their home was located in Charles County, Maryland on the North side of the Potomac River and West of Wiccomico River. Their home came to be known as "at the head of the Wiccomico River". Like names, this river also has several spellings (Wiackocomeko, Wiccomoco, etc.). From court records about "suites", "deeds", "indentured servant", etc., it is acknowledged that Edward was a very agressive man. He worked as an "indentured servant" for one Levin Burkin Esq. and was transferred by Mr. Brukin to one Mr. Brooke of de la Brooke for a period of three months to satisfy a debt between these two gentleman. In his years he accumulated at least six hundred acres of land. He became a Planter, grew tobacco, and was active in the business of his day. It is estimated that he died around the age of 81. His wife appeared in court on February 26, 1679 stating that her husband had died intestate and asked that she be appointed adminestereux. An inventory of his estate was made on March 20, 1679. When David Philpott, Edward's great great grandson, sold the family lands in 1778, he set aside 30 square yards for a cemetery which his father and it is assumed his grand parents were buried. Edward and Bridgett may have had four children, namely three sons's named John, Edward and Charles and a daughter named Mary. Edward is well documented in records in Maryland. Charles is recorded as "son of Edward born 19 February 1667". No other record of Charles or Mary has been found and it is assumed that they died in their youth.
