The name Phippen was originally Fitzpen or PitzPayn.  In the twelvth century,
the baronial family of FitzPayn held the manor of Oaksey, Wilts, Eng land and
held lands in Dorsetshire.  When David Phippen's
brother, Rev. Georg e Fitzpen, entered his pedigree in the Visitation of
Cornwall, 1620, it was he aded "Fitzpen alias Phippen," and the same form was
used in his will in 1650. As late as 1677, our ancestor Joseph Phippen,
David's son, appears in Boston deeds as Joseph "Phippen al's Fitzpen."  The
name appears in New England recor ds with many variations, including commonly,
"Phippeny."
David Phippen is lis ted as a carpenter in a 1677 Boston deed.
