  II THE PHIPPEN FAMILY:
  With Special Reference to Connecticut Descendants
  (The American Genealogists. I--Vol. 17--pg. 1-18")
  
  The name Phippen is a patronymic, being originally Fitzpen or Fitzpay n. In the twelfth century, the baronial family of Fitzpayn held the man or of Oaksey, Wilts, and held lands in Dorsetshire. When Rev. George Fitz pen, brother of David Phippen of New England, entered his pedigree and ar ms in the visitation of Cornwall, 1620, the pedigree was headed "Fitzpen a l's Phippen", and the same form was used in his will in 1650. As la te as 1677, David's son appears in New England records with many variatio ns of spelling, including Phippeny.
  
  The pedigree begins with Henry Fitzpen of St. Mary Overy, Co. Devon, who m arried Alice Peirce. Their son John was father of Robert Fitzpen al's Fip pen of Weymouth, Co. Dorset, who married 18 Sept. 1580, Cecily, daught er of Thomas Jordan of Co. Dorset. According to the old chart, John Fitzp en had three sons, Robert, John, and George. The children of Robert and C ecily (Jordan) Fitzpen were:
  
  i.Owen, B. 1582; D. at Lamorran, five miles from Truro, Cornwall, 17 Mar 1 636 ae. 54; m. 3 July, 1603, Annie Coinie. He was captured by the Tur ks 24 Mar. 1620; was held seven years in bondage, then led a mutiny with t en other Christian captives, overcame sixty-five Turks in their own shi p, 17 June 1627 and took the ship to Cartagena, sold it for L6,000, and re turned home.
  
  ii.David, see below.
  
  iii.George, A. M., Master of the grammar school in Truro, Cornwall, in 162 0, when he registered his pedigree and arms, which were: Argent, two ba rs in chief, three escallops, sable. He became rector of St. Mary's Churc h, Truro, but after twenty-six years was evicted because of Puritanism, a nd late was minister in Lamorran. He m. (I) Joan Pye, dau. Of Anthony a nd Constance (Pound Pye: m. (2) 20 June, 1648, Mary Penros. He d. witho ut issue, leaving a will dated 10 July 1650, which was proved Mar. 165 1. In it he mentioned "my brother David Phippen in New England", giving l and to the eldest, second and third sons of David, and if one of them shou ld die without issue, his share to go to David's fourth son, and so o n. " showing, although he did not state their names, that he knew David h ad four surviving sons at the time.
  
  iv.Cecily, babt. At Melcomb, Co. Dorset, 10 Mar 1593; called Reignolds (Re ynolds) in the will of her brother George.
  
  1. David Phippen, son of Robert, received a grant of five acres in Hingha m, Mass., 18 sept. 1653, when the first lots were drawn. He was made free man, 3 mar 1646/7.
  
  He removed to Boston about 1641 (admitted and granted a house lot, 27 Se pt 1641), on 24 Oct 1652, Sarah Phippeny of Boston, widow of David Phippen y, late of Hingham, deceased, with her son Joseph Phippeny, also of Bost on sold the Hingham lot to Thomas Thaxter. On 28 Apr 1645, David was gran ted liberty of wharfing near the Milne Creek in Boston; and was appoint ed Constable 13 Mar 1646/7
  
  He died before 31 Oct 1650, when his will was proved. He gave to wife Sar ah his dwelling house and shop; provided lots for Benjamin, Gamaliel, a nd George; named son-in-law Thomas Yeo; son George Vickary; son Joseph Phi ppen to be executor with testator's wife; mentioned land in Hingham.
  
  On 9 Apr. 1653, Sarah Phippen, widow, for L15, sold to John Hull of Bosto n, goldsmith, a house. Sarah Phippen widow for L40, sold 3 Dec 1653 to Ro bert Saunderson of Boston, goldsmith, and George Victors and Rebeckah h is wife, who have an interest, together with our mother Sarah Phippen, con sented to the sale. On 11 July 1654, Sarah Fippeny of Boston, widow for L 52, sold to Theodor Athinson of Boston, a dwelling house and half an acr e; witness "gamalier phipeny", James Hill.
  
  Joseph Phippen al's Fitzpen of "Falmouth in Casco Bay", carpenter, "in t he behalf of himself and the rest of his brothers and sisters point Execut ore to the Estate of their late deceased mothers. Mrs. Sarah Hull wi fe of Mr. George Hull late of Fairfield in Connecticut", for L102, so ld a house in Boston to Benjamin Phippen al's Fitzpen of Boston Blockmake r, 3 June 1663; recorded 5 Nov. 1677.
  
  The family chart prepared by Joseph Phippen is lacking the tablets of Dav id Phippen and his wife; we lack knowledge therefore of Sarah's maiden nam e. She married second, after 11 July 1654, George Hull of Fairfield, Conn ecticut and died in August 1659. Her will named her four sons and two dau ghters.
  
  2. Joseph Phippen (David) was granted a lot of two acres in Hingham, Mass ., 1637, and was still called of Hingham Church when children were baptiz ed at Boston from 1645 to 1649. Before 1652 he was living as a seam an in Boston.
  
  The copy of his own chart reads, "Jos. Phippen lived years, left Jos., Mar y, Sarah, David and Sam., by Dorcas Wood." His will in 1687 calls his wi fe Dorcas. But there is clearly an error of some kind. The mother of t he four youngest children, in Boston records, was called Dorothy. Furtherm ore, on 15 Jan 1652/3, Dorothy "by reason of my husbands absence and lo ss at sea", and "for the relief of myself and children", mortgaged to Samp son Shoare of Boston; and on 19 July 1653, Joseph Phippen of Boston, Seama n, and Dorothie his wife, sold the dwelling house to Sampson Shoare. It s eems possible, particularly in view of the fact that some of the childr en of Joseph conferred the name Dorcas on children of their own, and Josep h's failure to name two wives on his own chart that the same woman was kno wn both as Dorcas and Dorothy.
  
  He removed to Falmouth, where he was constable in 1661 and a grand jur or in 1664; and in his 1677 deed already quoted called himself of Falmout h, carpenter. But he had been admitted an inhabitant of Salem, 1 Nov. 166 5, and died there in 1687; his will, made 21 July 1687, proved 15 Sept. 16 87, named his wife Dorcus and five children.
