Philip, DOB 1638, was grandson of Philip, DOB 1591.  Philip, DOB 1638, was adopted by his grandfather and is, therefore, shown as son - although in fact, he is grandson.  The adoption records state "Philip Fowler the elder, of Ipswich, in the presence of Joseph his son and Martha his wife, did adopt as his sone, Philip, the son of the said Joseph and Martha."

After having given trades to his children and living to see them all settled in life, Philip selected his grandson, Philip, his namesake, to take care of him in his old age.  In 1668 he gave a Deed of Gift to his grandson Philip which read:

"This present writing witnesseth, that I, Philip Ffowler of Ipswich, in the county of Essex, clothworker, for and in considderation of that naturall affection I doe beare unto my Grandchild Phillip Ffowler, as also in considderation of his being with me, and doeing my business for me, as formerly, I doe by these presents freely give and grant, and by these fully confirme, unto him the sayd Phillip, my grandchild, all that my now dwelling house and lands I stand now possesst off, after my decease (exsepting what by agreement with my wife upon mariage, wch is put in writing and recorded), for him, the sayd Phillip, my Grandchild, Imediatly after my decease.  To have * to hould, and quietly and peaceably to enjoy, unto him & his heires & assignes forever, all that my sayd houses and lands, with all and every, the apptenances & prevaldges, thereunto belonging, exsept as aforesayd, what is granted to my wife, dureing her naturall life, and after her decease, the whole to be and remaine unto him the sayd Phillip, my Grandchild, his heires and assignes, for ever, provided still, that if by the providence of God, I shall be forct for nesasary subsitance to sell any pt. thereof, wch in such case I reserve liberty to doe, provided, if he the sayd Phillip, dye without isue, then to returne unto his Brother Joseph, & if Joseph dye without isue, then to be & remaine his brother John, provided alwayes, that if my Grandchild Phillip, leaves a wife behind him when he dye, then she shall enjoy it dureing her naturall life, & then to be & returne, as above exprest.
