4/11/1685 Lewis Loyd and wife Joane of Rappahannock County conveyed land to William Phillips “beginning upon the line of Roger Williams at a Hickory running a line of marked trees right across to the line of John Harford and another Morgan… and the said part of the land so warranted is that part next to the House Bridge Swamp…” (Joane/Joan was the widow of Roger Williams and William Phillips was her son-in-law, married to her daughter Susannah Williams. This and other data indicates that William Phillips and Susannah Williams were probably married by 1685. Using an average age of 21 to 26 for male marriages in colonial times, this indicates William was born about 1659-1664.)

11/5/1690 Will of Lewis Loyd of Rappahannock Co, planter, written 4/24/1687. To grandchild Ann Phillips a cow calfe. To Henry Thornton son of Roger Thornton a cow calfe. To Elizabeth Phillips a cow calfe. To be paid them at discretion of Executrix. To Ruth Williams my daughter in law the first mare colte as either of my mares bring. To my loving wife Joane Loyd my whole heire and sole Executrix of all my lands goods chattels & cattle. Teste: William (X) Smith, age 39 or so, and William Davis, age 48 or so. (This indicates that William and Susannah Phillips had daughters named Ann and Elizabeth by 1687. My guess is they were born in the mid 1680s. It would appear that William was not born yet, since he is not mentioned in the will.)
