NAME VARIANT: Filbridge, Filbrige

Son of Thomas and Elizabeth Filbrige. The date above is a baptism date.

He married Elizabeth Knopp/Knapp on Jun 4,1615 at Bures St.Mary, Co.Suffolk, England. She was baptized on Jul 8,1593 at Bures St.Mary, a daughter of William Knapp and Elizabeth (Read) Knapp.

Children: John Philbrick, James Philbrick, Elizabeth Philbrick Chase Garland Robie, Thomas Philbrick Jr, Margaret Philbrick, Martha Philbrick Cass Lyon, Hannah Philbrick Lewis, and Mary Philbrick Tucke Wall.

Thomas Philbrick, with his wife and six children, probably on the "Arabella", emigrated from Lincolnshire, England, in company with Governor Winthrop, Sir Richard Saltonstall and others. They arrived in Massachusetts Bay on June 12,1630, after a tempestuous voyage of seventy-six days. They attempted a settlement in Salem,MA, but in July 1636 went to Watertown,MA. Here Thomas Philbrick remained until 1645, when he removed to Hampton,NH, his son, John, having previously settled there in 1639. NEW INFORMATION (which conflicts with the monument and what was just mentioned): Based on "English Origins of New England Families," Vol III, pgs 197 - 203, the family did not arrive in New England until sometime after Oct 1631. His daughter, Martha was baptized at the Bures St Mary Church 4 Sep 1631 and he was on the Bures manor court rolls 12 Oct 1631. That would indicate he was not on the "Arebella." He was a proprietor by 1636 in Watertown, MA. So his arrival would be sometime between 1632 and 1636.
