The constant tradition of this family has | been that they descend from a younger branch of the Picton House, but after much laborious investigation, nothing has been ascertained capable of throwing any light on the point in question. That they are of Welsh origin is however certain, it having been proved by family evidences still in existence, that they were possessed of lands in the parish of Disserth, in Radnorshire about the middle of the reign of ELIZABETH, whence, later in the same reign, they removed into Herefordshire, still retaining possession of the Radnorshire property till the middle of the last century, when the estates called Upper and Lower * The eldest son, Walter Phillipps, baptized at St. Peters, 14th November, 1595, m.

Mr. Melling was a royalist, and one of the contributors to the distresses of the king when at Oxford in 1644, at the period of the invasion of the Scots, as appears from the subjoined document in the possession of Mr. Phillipps, of Longworth. It is curious, as containing the king's sign manual, as well as the autograph of the lord keeper (Lyttleton) and Sir Henry Lingen, then high sheriff, and one of the principal sufferers in the royal cause in the county of Hereford. The following is a copy of the original document: Kilgainvin, in that parish, were disposed of in 1753, by Thomas Phillipps, esq.
