WILLIAM PHIPPEN, b. ca 1551, d. 11/24/1596 on the way to Portland on the King's Service; m. Jone (or Jane Jordaine; m. 2nd: Latatia (Tatia)_____.
His brother Henry, a mariner, evidently away on a long voyage, did not know of his decease, as he named him overseer of his will 1601.
His name probably spelled Thickpenny in the York area, in family records spelled Phippen.
Children of William Phippen and Joan Jordaine:
"In early years, taking a new surname was common practice among the gentry. This could be accomplished by Act of Parliament; warrant under the King's Sign-Manual (writing therein the substituted name), or by ecclesiastical econcent. By 1650 the name Fitzpen had disappeared from English records, descendants adopting other spellings, although they appeared to adhere to the sound. Arms were granted, in addition to Fitzpen, to families of: Thickpenny, Tipping, Tippen, Tipper, & Tippet, probably more. Some of the well known Antiquarians stated that in many ancient families there were as many as a hundred different spellings. Phippen came from Thickpenny."
