http://eradcliffe.tripod.com/thigpen.html

This ancient family descends from Thomas de Segrave, described in the Domesday Book, 1080, (Burke) III. David Fitzpen als Phippen; m. Sarah Burges. To America. (See p. ) IV. Rev. George Fitzpen, als Phippen; m. 1st: Joan Pye; m. 2nd 3/16/1634 Joan Penrose; m. 3rd: 6/20/1648, Mary Penrose. (Helston Parish Reg.) No children.

MA degree Oxford; Rector St. Mary's 1624/36, and of Lamorran. Master of the grammar school in Truro. Polwhele says of this longstanding institution -"It may well be classed with the first seminaries of England, and its masters and scholars have frequently been formidable rivals to those of the Royal foundation in genius, taste and learning." He was persecuted, hounded and thrown in jail, where he was heavily plundered of his possessions. (His will gives some idea of the trials and tribulations the clergy was forced to undergo.)

"[George Phippen] was twice married, first to Joan [Jane] Pie [Pye], who died shortly after. He married (2) Marry, daughter of John and Jane (Trefuses) Penrose." [2] on the 20th June 1648 at Helston in Cornwall[3].
