About Rev. Edward Philipps
A family book (which I treasure) ... PHILIPPS, 1820 SETTLER His letters, edited by ARTHUR KEPPEL-JONES In consultation with Philipps’ great-granddaughter E.K. HEATHCOTE Published in Pietermaritzburg By Shuter and Shooter 1960 I am quoting from the Introduction – at pages 11 and 12 ...
“Thomas Philipps belonged to an old Pembrokeshire family, whose history was prominently linked for many centuries with the history of that county, the “little England beyond Wales”.The seat of the senior branch was Picton Castle, which stands in the parish of Slebech on the peninsular formed by the fork of the eastern and the western branches of the Cleddau. The head of the family in the late eighteenth century was Sir Richard Philipps, created Baron Milford in the Irish peerage in 1776. He was Lord Lieutenant of the county and for many years represented first Haverfordwest and then Pembrokeshire in the House of Commons.
Among his kinsmen was the Rev. Edward Philipps, who was evidently in great favour with him. In 1767 Edward was presented by Elizabeth, widow of Sir John Philipps and mother of Lord Milford, to the rectory of Begelly. Lord Milford in turn gave him ecclesiastical patronage, and from 1778 till his death in 1793 Edward Philipps was Rector of Lampeter Velfrey. He married Katherine Harries of Cardigan, daughter of another clergyman. They had three sons and three daughters. The eldest son was Thomas, born in 1776, the future 1820 Settler ... “
... and at page 13 ...
“In 1801 he [Thomas] had married Charlotte Harriet Arboin (or Arbouin) of Highbury Place, Middlesex ...”
