Although Philip raised a family, it is not learned that he had any son to transmit his family name to later generations. He died in Roxbury in 1686.

  • These records show:
  • 1 That the will of William Torrey, of Combe St. Nicholas in said county, was proven on June 18, 1557, and Thomasyne, his wife is named as his Executrix. His "children" are mentioned but not named in the will.
  • 2 That the will of Philip Torrey, son of the above, was dated August 31, 1604, and mentions his son William and daughter Dorothei, and names Margaret his wife as Executrix.
  • 3 That William Torrey, son of the above Philip was living at the date of the death of Jane, his wife, who was buried on the 27th April, 1639.
  • 4 That the will of Philip Torrey, son of the last named William, was proven on 27th June, 1621. His wife Alice is mentioned as Executrix, and the will mentions three daughters, Annie, Mary and Sarah, and four sons, William, James, Philip and Joseph. The will of Alice, the widow is dated in 1634, mentions the same seven children, by name and referes to the previous death of the daughter Mary.
  • From the provisions of these last two wills it is evident that at the date of the father's death in 1621, all the children were minors and some of them in early childhood.
  • We, also, have reliable information that William Torrey, eldest son of the last named Philip, born at Combe St. Nicholas, in 1608, was married to Agnes, daughter of Joseph Combe--the name being suggestive of the probability that she belonged to the family which gave the place its name.
  • This William Torrey had a son, born at Combe St. Nicholas in 1632, named Samuel, and another, born at the same place in 1638, named William, and then a daughter Naomi, born at Weymouth, Mass., December 3, 1641, that place having, meanwhile become his residence. ..... etc.

William's mother, Jane Haviland, has been traced to regal ancestry. Frederick C. Weis, in his "The Magna Charta Sureties", 3rd edition (973, D2aa), identifies colonists who ancestry traces back to signers of the Magna Charta (and before). Jane Haviland appears in generation 16 of ancestry line #45. Generation 8 of this line is Eleanor de Neville, a great, grandaughter of King Edward III. King Edward III appears as generation 16 of line #161. Line 161 traces back to King John (generation 12), who signed the Magna Charta in 1215. Generation #1 of line 161? Alfred the Great (871-901). - - CFS

William's wife, Deborah Greene, is the daughter of John Greene. John Greene is one of the twelve individuals with whom Roger Williams divided and shared land that he had purchased from indians. Thus, John Greene is one the individuals who are referred to as the "Thirteen Original Proprietors of Providence, R.I." The deed was signed and dated by Roger Williams on August 8, 1638. - - CFS

  • .... Hon. Alphonso Taft says: 'The line as I find it is William, who died in 1557, leaving a will. Phillip, his son who died in 1604, leaving a will — William, his son, who survived his son Phillip, but the date of whose death we have not — Phillip, who died in 1621, leaving a will, named his four sons who emigrated to America.' Mr. Taft also furnished, from the Bishop's Register at Wells, the following for Combe St. Nicholas: "
    • 1608, William, son of Phillip Torrie was bapt. 21 day of December.
    • 1608, Agnes, daughter of Joseph Combe was baptized the 4th of January.
    • 1629, William Torry was married unto Agnes Combe the 17 of March.

  • These records show:
  • 1 That the will of William Torrey, of Combe St. Nicholas in said county, was proven on June 18, 1557, and Thomasyne, his wife is named as his Executrix. His "children" are mentioned but not named in the will.
  • 2 That the will of Philip Torrey, son of the above, was dated August 31, 1604, and mentions his son William and daughter Dorothei, and names Margaret his wife as Executrix.
  • 3 That William Torrey, son of the above Philip was living at the date of the death of Jane, his wife, who was buried on the 27th April, 1639.
  • 4 That the will of Philip Torrey, son of the last named William, was proven on 27th June, 1621. His wife Alice is mentioned as Executrix, and the will mentions three daughters, Annie, Mary and Sarah, and four sons, William, James, Philip and Joseph. The will of Alice, the widow is dated in 1634, mentions the same seven children, by name and referes to the previous death of the daughter Mary.
  • From the provisions of these last two wills it is evident that at the date of the father's death in 1621, all the children were minors and some of them in early childhood.
  • We, also, have reliable information that William Torrey, eldest son of the last named Philip, born at Combe St. Nicholas, in 1608, was married to Agnes, daughter of Joseph Combe--the name being suggestive of the probability that she belonged to the family which gave the place its name.
  • This William Torrey had a son, born at Combe St. Nicholas in 1632, named Samuel, and another, born at the same place in 1638, named William, and then a daughter Naomi, born at Weymouth, Mass., December 3, 1641, that place having, meanwhile, become his residence.
  • He is known to have been at his home in England in the early part of 1640. So that he must have migrated to America during the Summer or Autumn of that year. .... etc.
